Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, having recently wrapped Disney's Jungle Cruise are teaming up again for a new superhero rom-com, Ball and Chain, which is headed to Netflix.

The script for the project is being penned by Emily V. Gordon, an Oscar Nominee for The Big Sick. The story is being adapted from the 1990's comic, Ball and Chain, following a married couple with super powers. The tale is complicated by the couple's marital problems which unfortunately cause their super powers to malfunction.

Jungle Cruise was the first project for Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, working together, and was anticipated to release this summer. The pic has been officially delayed, though, to July 30, 2021.

Blunt's next-up, A Quiet Place II is also still awaiting release, having been postponed from March 18 to September 4th as a result of the health crisis. Fans are eagerly awaiting this sequel, also directed by Blunt's husband, John Krasinski.
