Sequel trailer shows Johnson, Hart, Black and Gillan reuniting for Jumanji finale
Developing story first seen 4 hours ago
Sony Pictures has released a trailer for 'Jumanji: Open World,' the third installment in the rebooted Jumanji franchise. The film reunites the ensemble cast from the previous two films—Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan—along with several returning supporting actors and a handful of newcomers. Director Jake Kasdan returns for the third consecutive entry, helming from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg. The decision to produce another Jumanji sequel follows the commercial success of the 2017 and 2019 predecessors, which collectively earned more than $1.7 billion worldwide.
The studio has moved the film's release from its original December 11 date to Christmas Day, positioning it within a highly competitive year-end corridor that includes simultaneous releases of 'Dune: Part Three' and 'Avengers: Doomsday.' The production maintains the established formula that reimagined the original 1995 board game as a video game setting, where teenage players inhabit adult avatars. Production credits include Dwayne Johnson and other established producers, with the new cast additions expanding the supporting ensemble.
