Instead of a board game, it revolved around a magical video game. The film became a smash hit, grossing over $962 million worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The success spawned the 2019 sequel \u201cJumanji: The Next Level\u201d which grossed $801 million worldwide.  Jake Kasdan, who directed those films, returns to helm from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg.<\/p>\n<p>Also back are Nick Jonas as Jefferson \u2018Seaplane\u2019 McDonough, Danny DeVito as Edward \u2018Eddie\u2019 Gilpin, Lamorne Morris as Heater Repair Man, Marin Hinkle as Janice Gilpin, Bebe Neuwirth as Nora Shepherd, and Rhys Darby as Nigel Billingsley.<\/p>\n<p>New cast members include Brittany O\u2019Grady, Burn Gorman, Dan Hildebrand, and Jack Jewkes.  Others like Awkwafina, Alex Woff, Morgan Turner, Madison Iseman and Ser\u2019Darius Blain are also expected back but haven\u2019t been officially announced yet.<\/p>\n<p>The new \u201cJumanji\u201d is set to open in cinemas Christmas 2026.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Look who\u2019s on the loose  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JumanjiMovie?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#JumanjiMovie<\/a> is coming exclusively to theatres Christmas 2026. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fDe9J4ehy9\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/fDe9J4ehy9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jumanji Movie (@jumanjimovie) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jumanjimovie\/status\/1991144516255187242?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">November 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sony Pictures Sony Pictures has released a first look at the next \u201cJumanji\u201d with a photo of Dwayne&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296897,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,142132,134,344],"class_list":{"0":"post-296896","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-bigslider","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
