The Jumanji crew is heading back to the jungle.
Sony Pictures announced that Jumanji 3 is set to hit theaters Dec. 11, 2026. Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan starred in the first two films and are expected to return, as is director Jake Kasdan, who helmed both features.
Earlier this year, Gillan told The Hollywood Reporter that it had been a challenge to make everything align for the new film.
“I’m sure it’s tricky to wrangle everyone’s schedules, but I haven’t heard anything about it other than the fact that we will be doing it at some point,” she said at the time. “So we’re all so enthusiastic about it. We all love working on those films, and it’s just a matter of when.”
During an interview with Virgin Radio that published online in fall of 2022, Johnson said that he “cannot wait” to make the third movie happen and that Kasdan was in the process of developing it. Johnson also teased that the new movie could be the final project for this version of the franchise.
“Jake has a very, very special cool idea that for Jumanji 3 — could be the finale,” Johnson said at the time. “But in the spirit of that, it’s really special. I’ll just say that.”
More to come.
