Next Live-Action 'Dora The Explorer' Movie Goes For Jacob Rodriguez As Diego

 

The nature of moviemaking is running wild again, so here comes the new Diego for the new live-action Dora the Explorer movie currently working as Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado from Nickelodeon Studios for Nickelodeon and Paramount+. Jacob Rodriguez has been found as the next actor to play Dora’s wildlife-caring cousin.


Diego was confirmed to be returning in a similar lead capacity to the first live-action Dora movie Dora and the Lost City of Gold by the given synopsis, telling that Dora, played by Samantha Lorraine, Diego, and new friends trudge through the dangers of the Amazonian jungle in search of the ancient and powerful treasure of Sol Dorado to keep it out of harm’s way. How new is unclear as it’s still unknown how direct a sequel this film is to Lost City of Gold. In that film, Diego was played by Jeff Wahlberg, indeed of those Wahlbergs, who would go on to have a role in the Tom Holland film Cherry. In the scenes where Dora and Diego are seen at their more source-accurate ages, he was played by Malachi Barton, who otherwise has spent much of the last decade entrenched in Disney Channel, starring in Stuck in the Middle, the Under Wraps remake and its sequel, now on The Villains of Valley View and about to appear in Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires. The character originated on the original series voiced by Diego started out voiced by Felipe and Andre Dieppa, then Gabriel Alvarez, but by the time his spinoff was ready, he was voiced by Jake T. Austin, later of Wizards of Waverly Place and The Fosters, who lasted until the end of season 3 (equivalent Dora point unknown), and his final speaking voice was Brandon Zambrano.


A Mexican American actor from the small agricultural town of Dinuba, California, Rodriguez doesn’t have any major credits just yet, but is about to recur in the second season of Hulu’s Tell Me Lies when it premieres this fall. He also has an indie TV series Hal & Harper upcoming. It is directed by Alberto Belli, who directed the Disney+ Christmas film The Naughty Nine and episodes of the no-longer-available Disney Channel series Ultra Violet and Black Scorpion. Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado is written by J. T. Billings, who has experience with Nickelodeon reboots as showrunner and executive producer of the Are You Afraid of the Dark? reboot, and wrote a few episodes. Diego has not appeared in the reboot continuity that premiered in April on the streamer and has been renewed for a second season.
