The reboot Jumanji films have turned out to be a really fun couple of movies, with booming profits and a solid fanbase. Premiering in 2017 and 2019, they took the original concept of the kids trapped in the board game, and brought it up to date with four high schoolers trapped in an old school video game found in the basement of their school. Each movie was a fun adventure, and the characters they turn into were played by hilarious cast members Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan, with Nick Jonas as well as Awkwafina, Danny Glover, and Danny DeVito later joining the fold.
Now, fans can rest assured that we will see the core cast reunite for at least one more adventure. In a recent interview with ComicBook, Jumanji producer and President of Production at Seven Bucks Productions, Hiram Garcia, said:
“You know, we’re always having conversations, and that’s a family, that entire group if there’s ever been. It’s hard to imagine or remember a time I’ve been on a set where it’s just a beloved group of cast and crew and actors and that’s just one of those things where we know we have a really big idea that we want to do with it. We’ve been discussing it.”
He went on to add:
“There’s conversations have been going we’re in the process of moving that along,” Garcia says of the next film in the franchise. “I can’t tell you anything, but we do have big plans for it and that’s one of our favorite projects to work on and that’s cooking away.”
My kids will be thrilled. This is one of the movie franchise that my entire family gets excited about, and we all like to rewatch on occasion. I think there are plenty of fresh ideas they can run with in this universe, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with. Are you excited for another Jumanji adventure?
