## Summary

Sony has released a trailer for "Jumanji: Open World," confirming it as the third and final instalment in the rebooted "Jumanji" franchise, with Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan all reprising their roles. The film follows the 2017 and 2019 predecessors, which together grossed more than $1.7 billion worldwide, and continues the reboot's premise of teenagers whose avatars appear in a video-game world, itself a reworking of the original 1995 film starring Robin Williams.

Jake Kasdan returns to direct for a third consecutive time, working from a script he co-wrote with Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg, alongside producers Matt Tolmach, Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia. Supporting cast members Danny DeVito, Nick Jonas, Awkwafina, Marin Hinkle, Bebe Neuwirth, Lamorne Morris and Rhys Darby all return, joined by newcomers Dan Hildebrand and Jack Jewkes. Sony has shifted the release from 11 December to Christmas Day, placing it just after the 18 December releases of "Dune: Part Three" and "Avengers: Doomsday" rather than clashing head-on with them.
