Disney twenty-three is making a splash with their summer cover, featured are Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, stars of the highly-anticipated live-action adaptation of Jungle Cruise, in theatres July 30th.
Editor-in-chief Max Lark journeyed to the backside of water, visiting the breathtaking tropical set of the film to speak with its stars and creative team about turning the beloved Disney Parks favorite into a thrilling new movie. You also get a fascinating look at the creation of Jungle Cruise for Disneyland and the exciting changes in store for the attraction this year. Check out the cover of DISNEY Twenty-Three featuring Johnson and Blunt, below.
Also in the new issue, which is available exclusively to D23 Gold Members, Tom Hiddleston discusses spinning off the wickedly wonderful Loki for his new Marvel Studios series on Disney+ and bringing an entirely “new” version of the God of Mischief to life. Hiddleston’s on-screen brother, Chris Hemsworth, dons a different kind of (swim)suit as he takes a dip with some apex predators for National Geographic’s Shark Beach, as the avid surfer and environmentalist dives beneath the surface of what we know about the toothy creatures. And Disney twenty-three goes behind-the-seams with Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson for a special look at the ferociously fashion-forward Cruella, coming to theaters and Disney+ Premier Access May 28.
