Jungle Cruise: Veronica Falcón on Playing Trader Sam and Joining Ozark’s Final Season
Aug 17 2021
The original Jungle Cruise attraction at Disneyland opened with the theme park on July 17, 1955, and after various changes and updates, it’s now inspired an epic adventure for the big screen, giving one of the characters from the ride a very welcome reimagined twist. While wisecracking skipper and pun-lover Frank Wollf (Dwayne Johnson) makes his way down the Amazon with resourceful researcher Dr. Lily Houghton (Emily Blunt) and her brother MacGregor (Jack Whitehall), their search for an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities brings them face-to-face with numerous dangers, supernatural forces, and Trader Sam (Veronica Falcón), who is now a strong-willed woman leading her tribe in the jungle of the Amazon.
