It was revealed at the press conference that Dwayne Johnson's character, Frank, has incredible one-liners during the film, with director Jaume Collet-Serra joking that he has a stand-up routine in the movie. It was then suggested that Johnson should be given an actual Netflix special for how great he performed comedy in the film.
Blunt then revealed that the movie was referred to as "Welcome to the Pungle" on set due to the massive amount of puns the characters spit out. Funnily enough, "Welcome to the Jungle" is the subtitle of Johnson's "Jumanji" film. The actor then shared one of his favorite puns that he told Blunt on set. "I once worked at an orange juice factory," Johnson said. "Yeah, how'd it go for you?" Blunt responded. "They fired me because I couldn't concentrate," he said. Everyone immediately burst into laughter, with Johnson adding, "Then they also had to put the squeeze on me."
Johnson started to tell another pun about a girlfriend of his, but stopped himself because it appears in the movie.
To hear this hilarious joke and many more, check out "Jungle Cruise" when it lands in theaters on July 30.
