Dora the Explorer has received the live-action treatment.
During Saturday’s broadcast of the 2019 Kids’ Choice Awards, Nickelodeon Films and Paramount Pictures shared the first trailer for Dora and the Lost City of Gold. The two-and-a-half minute preview follows Dora as she embarks on a new adventure on unfamiliar territory: high school. If that wasn’t stressful enough, Dora and several of her classmates are eventually thrust together to solve the mystery of a lost Inca civilization and are tasked with saving Dora’s parents.
The film was directed by James Bobin (Muppets Most Wanted) and stars Isabela Moner as the titular character. Jeffrey Wahlberg will portray Dora’s cousin Diego, while Danny Trejo (Machete) will voice the character of Dora’s monkey sidekick Boots. Trejo confirmed his role via Twitter earlier this week.
Dora and the Lost City of Gold also stars Eugenio Derbez, Eva Longoria, Michael Peña, and Benicio del Toro, who provides the voice of Swiper the Fox.
“I’m so excited for people to see the film because I really loved playing such a popular Latino character,” Moner recently told Forbes. “I’m especially proud that she’s not a stereotype, our director encouraged us to give him feedback. We have an all Latino cast, too! […] It’s just going to be amazing! I think it’ll do great mainstream because the whole dynamic is like the Buddy the Elf story, very fish out of water type of situation. She’s kind of hyper like she is on the TV show and everyone else is really mellow and chilled out.”
Check out the trailer for Dora and the Lost City of Gold above. The film is set to hit theaters Aug. 2.
