And I did love seeing you guys hit the gym together while you were filming.
Usually I'm infamously known not to invite anybody into the night shift.
Which I didn't know.
I didn't know it was like a cathedral, like no one gets to go in there.
So what's the deal with this toot?
Is this a new nickname?
It is. No, it's been around.
It's been around now for three years.
I used to enjoy calling him very sort of sweet, cute things.
Like he'd text going, all right, I'm leaving now.
I'll see you on set.
And I was like, OK, cupcake, you know, and then.
No, no, no, no.
I was like cupcake or like.
I am. Yes, cupcake.
Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for.
The backside of water.
It's the wonder of the world.
And welcome to the jungle.
Welcome to Jungle Cruise.
I love Laquila, our boat behind us.
Very cool seeing her again.
I know. Is it bringing back memories of flashbacks?
Yes, we had so much fun on that boat.
Oh, I can only imagine the film turned out beautifully.
Thank you so much.
You two are bringing this iconic Disney ride to life on the big screen.
Are you kids giving you any brownie points?
Are you scoring any cool points with them?
Are they like, yeah, I'm in phase.
It's actually it's actually the only they've only seen the trailer so far.
But my kids have watched it so many times.
It's been one of the only things I've done where they're like interested.
What about you, DJ?
My kids do the same thing.
I have a five year old and a three year old.
They love the trailer.
They can't wait to see it.
Yeah, because, you know, the trailer has all those moments in it
that obviously are attractive to kids and the families as well
and also has some really cool stuff in it as well.
Because I wonder if they'll like Aquaman more still.
Why did you bring that up?
Because they're obsessed with Jason Momoa, as am I.
I saw what Aquaman just did.
Who's cooler?
Daddy?
Aquaman?
I mean, are we all?
I know they're also obsessed with Wonder Woman.
Yeah.
I mean, DJ is no Jason, right?
She's not.
Just saying.
She is.
Um, the friendly feud y'all have going on is next level special.
First rate.
It's so great, though, from D23 to the dueling trailers.
I am so sorry about earlier.
Something very weird happened.
It was like this rogue trailer.
This, uh, this desperate, delusional, sad trailer aired
that bears no relation to the film that we made.
Yes.
Who started this little feud we got going on right here?
Probably...
Didn't it happen quite naturally and then people were like,
that's fun.
I think so, yeah.
I mean, when we first met, the very first time we met,
we instantly clicked.
Because you never know how it's going to be when you meet somebody.
You know, you're familiar with their work.
And I had seen all of Emily's movies.
She had watched none of mine.
So it worked out perfectly.
When we got together, we instantly knew we had something.
And plus, I feel like you're kind of playing off your characters, too.
Because you very much so have that banter back and forth throughout the film.
I mean, that was the key.
And I think the characters are so, it's such a cool dynamic to watch.
Because they're so polarized from each other.
They have such different philosophies on life and their senses of humor.
Like, how they walk into every day.
It's just completely the antithesis of one another.
I got you.
I got it.
I don't got it.
No, no, no, it was a disaster.
It didn't go the way I planned.
So I think it makes for this really fun interplay between them.
It is reminiscent of those Romancing the Stone films.
Where it's that clash of two people.
Without a doubt.
Like, kind of storming into each other's world.
Yeah, is it hard for you guys to sit next to each other today for a chat?
I thought so.
Emily, my heart goes out to you, honey.
This one doesn't use deodorant, so you can imagine what that is.
Wow!
No, I'm kidding.
That's the headline from all this.
Arms down.
Take one of the hibiscus, Emily.
Get one of the flowers.
I'm kidding.
Don't I always smell nice?
You do.
You both do, actually.
It smells wonderful.
Thank you.
Yes, you both do.
By the way, it's warm.
It is on.
Let's say one lovely thing about each other.
What do you love about me?
Come on, you go first.
Yeah, you gotta make up for that.
She is one of the best, sweet-smelling human beings I have ever met.
By the way, honestly, we had the best time on Jungle Cruise, so the things that she was
talking about earlier about us being polar opposites and coming together, our characters,
and having different philosophies, you throw all that together mixed in with the adventure
of a lifetime and going down to Amazon with curses and legends and things like that.
Keep it about me.
It is about you.
That's right.
So Emily's acting one of the greatest actors of our time.
I always like to say that.
She is.
She truly, truly is.
I've been at it now.
Jokes aside, she absolutely is.
So what an honor and pleasure it is for me to work with this one.
I say that all the time.
Em, do you have any good words that you would like to say?
I have so many good words, and I truly, truly do.
I think it is rare that you take someone away from a movie that becomes a genuine friend
for life.
And he has become, he is my most enormous buddy and will always be my most enormous
buddy.
I'm pretty sure he was just.
Don't do, no.
Those days are done.
You like that?
He's giving the people what they want.
I'm giving it.
Come on.
Go for it.
I'm trying to encourage you not to do that.
They will not stop until you feed them.
OMG.
You're feeding the monster over there.
Well, by the way, I was about to say how wise and refined you are.
Now, I love this banter.
The chemistry is there.
The chemistry was there.
There's a hint of the romance in the film between these two characters.
It's very romantic.
It truly is.
So, I mean, might we see that romance play out in the sequel?
I mean, there's going to be a sequel.
I hope there will be.
I mean, it would be wonderful if there was and I think there's one.
Are we allowed to see that?
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, it's what we're talking about now, but you never want to get too far ahead of
yourself.
It always depends on what the audience does and how they react, but fingers crossed and
early indications for audiences that have seen the movie already in our testings, they
love it.
They've been going crazy.
So, we'll see.
And then the sequel, we'll cast somebody else.
Fair enough.
For me.
Did John come to set and did he say, okay, enough there, DJ, hands off the wifey over
there?
You know?
John is so sort of used to me working with other men that it's like, it's sort of like
white noise now.
He's like, who are you making out with?
Who are you working with?
John's a bitch.
It's like, ah.
It's sort of like nothing at this point.
Just the rock and I did love seeing you guys hit the gym together while you were filming.
The cast that trains together, stays together.
Let's get it, folks.
198.
199.
200.
I'm shaking.
Did Emma over here give you any pointers about getting shredded, DJ?
No, well, she's been shredded in some of her movies in the past, right?
So, when she, and usually I'm infamously known not to invite anybody into the gym.
Which I didn't know.
I didn't know it was like a cathedral.
It's sacred.
No one gets to go in there.
And she just, yeah, just kind of, hey, can I come by your gym?
I'm like, sure.
You can.
Can you imagine if you'd said no?
I would have been so embarrassed.
I said no in my mind.
I said, but then I outwardly said, sure.
So, she comes over and I always know when Emily's been to the gym because there's baby
weights thrown around.
She doesn't pick up.
And I keep the gym very clean.
It's so tidy.
Like, he's such a germaphobe.
He's like, incredibly tidy.
Like, slightly anally tidy.
I always like to tell you that.
But it's a gym, by the way.
There's sweat and there's iron laying around.
But I do like to keep it clean.
That's important.
I don't wipe stuff down.
This one comes over.
She doesn't wipe it down.
There's sweat everywhere.
There's baby weights.
There's imprints.
This is too good not to do a sequel.
I know.
Right?
Thank you guys so much for letting us hang today.
And I hope I get to see A Quiet Place Part 3, honey.
There's one coming.
Yes.
Someone else is helming it.
The third one.
All right.
John needs any ideas.
I'm good.
I'll be starring in it.
All right.
Killing her off in the movie.
