Oppenheimer's Emily Blunt is set to reunite with Jungle Cruise co-star Dwayne Johnson for a new movie.
The pair are producing Amazon's upcoming movie Kate Warne, with the possibility of Blunt taking a starring role in the film. However, due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes, no deal of Blunt's casting has been confirmed yet.
The action thriller will centre around the titular Warne, a real-life Sherlock Holmes. The first female detective at the prestigious US detective agency Pinkerton Agency, Warne paved the way for women in law enforcement.

This news comes after Blunt recently revealed that she's taking a break from acting to spend more time with her family.
"This year, I'm not working. I worked quite a bit last year and my oldest baby is nine, so we're in the last year of single digits," she explained on an episode of iHeart's Table for Two podcast.
"And I just feel [like] there are cornerstones to their day that are so important when they're little."
