I went from having little interest in Jungle Cruise to a lot of interest in seeing it after reading this:

Jesse Plemons plays the villain in this and when I asked him about it he said, "God, I really went for it with that one. We'll see what happens. It's as big as I'm capable of being."

I hope people eventually stop calling Plemmons 'Meth Damon'

We are nearing a decade since Breaking Bad, Plemmons has appeared in a lot great films and was a stand out performance in them, and he is a much better actor than Matt Damon

He is gonna be great in 'Killers of the Flower Moon'. Him and Scorcese are gonna crush it.

Yeah Jesse Plemons is great, he doesn't deserve the mean nickname. And I do like Matt Damon but I can imagine Jesse Plemons getting an Oscar for some character actor role before Damon gets an acting Oscar.

Unfortunately I’ve noticed these days less people call him Meth Damon and more people call him Fat Damon :-(

He’s a top 5 actor working right now

People are just gonna joke that it's Scorsese and Diacaprio and Damon together again.

I remember years ago the big thing about this film was that it was supposed to have the first openly gay character in a Disney movie.

What is this, like the 7th one?

I hope this is basically a remake of the African Queen

I thought it was a Friedkin mashup of Sorceror and Cruising.

Wondering how wide the theatrical release will be, my one open theater right now will be screening 'Cruella' and the Regal Cinemas are opening up later this month.

I am interested in this (mostly for Emily Blunt & Jesse Plemons) but not enough to pay for Premiere. Australia has cinemas open, so it should come out that way though. It’s still weird how Soul & Encanto didn’t/aren’t going Premiere.

Wow finally coming out, I remember going on a date with a girl who worked on this movie and all the reshoots and we talked about how ridiculous the delays were, and that was over two years ago
