It's being reported that Jack Whitehall will be joining the cast of Disney's "The Jungle Cruise". Whitehall will join Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt as Blunt's brother in the film.

The film will be based on the iconic Disney theme park ride of the same name. Disney has had enormous success with the  "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and is looking to duplicate that success with this new possible film franchise.

Whitehall is a British actor and stand-up comedian. He has a role in another Disney film, "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms" and his standup special is titled  "Jack Whitehall: At Large"  and is streaming on Netflix. 

"The Jungle Cruise" will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and is slated to begin production in May.
