Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan are all confirmed to reprise their roles in the latest installment of the wildly popular series. Directed by Jake Kasdan, who helmed the previous Jumanji: The Next Level in 2019, the new film is expected to build on the story left off in the last chapter. However, plot details remain under wraps, keeping fans guessing about what thrills and surprises await in the jungle.

In an interview with Virgin Radio in 2022, Johnson hinted that this third film might close out the series. "Jake has a very, very special idea for Jumanji 3, which could be the finale," Johnson revealed, adding that the project has a "special" place for him.

Johnson, last seen in Fast X, also has other projects in the works, including Moana 2 and The Smashing Machine. Fans will be eagerly awaiting how the Jumanji saga unfolds and possibly concludes this Christmas season in 2026.
