CinemaCon<\/a> on Monday as part of its presentation to theater owners. <\/p>\n\n\tOnce again, our heroes find that the boundaries between a fantastical game and the real world have blurred. This time, the three leading actors will play three different characters. Johnson\u2019s Dr. Bravestone, for instance, is Spanish (he pronounces charisma like the guy from the Dos Equis ads), while Hart and Black\u2019s characters are \u201cstuck in demo mode\u201d and still working out a few kinks. Hopefully, they adapt quickly, because the trailer that Sony shared included plenty of scenes of jungle beasts rampaging through a pastoral New England town.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cJumanji\u201d is one of the most successful series at Sony, but seven years have passed since 2019\u2019s \u201cJumanji: The Next Level\u201d opened and nearly a decade since 2017\u2019s \u201cJumanji: Welcome to the Jungle\u201d debuted. The movies were inspired by the 1995 Robin Williams hit \u201cJumanji,\u201d which Hart, Johnson and Black said will be celebrated in the new film with an Easter egg. This film includes the original dice used in the first \u201cJumanji.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cRobin, this one\u2019s for you,\u201d Johnson said, gesturing skyward in a nod to Williams, who died in 2014.<\/p>\n
\n\tJake Kasdan, who helmed the previous \u201cJumanji\u201d films, is back behind the camera again. Karen Gillan,\u00a0Nick Jonas,\u00a0Awkwafina,\u00a0Alex Wolff,\u00a0Morgan Turner and Danny DeVito reprise their roles from the previous films. The latest \u201cJumanji\u201d opens on December 25, 2026.<\/p>\n
\n\tJohnson has teased that the franchise, or at least the part that stars him, will end with this third film. If it reaches the box office heights of its predecessors, it seems likely that Sony will find other ways for \u201cJumanji\u201d to live on. <\/p>\n
\n\tIt may not be a hard sell for the actors. Most of the cast on stage said they loved making the latest \u201cJumanji,\u201d with Black calling it his favorite moviemaking experience.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThis was not a good time for me,\u201d Hart interjected jokingly. \u201cIt was fucking work!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black are dispensing with all the levels.
