Officially planting our JUMANJI flag. On DECEMBER 13th, 2019 - the game is not over. I hold JUMANJI very close to my heart and I’m beyond grateful you made our movie into the global juggernaut ($1BILLION+) it became. Can’t wait for you to see what our new adventure & new characters have in store as Christmas comes early. And once again, I get to slap @kevinhart4real’s lip’s into next week.

The film will bring back the core cast of Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan. Jake Kasdan is expected to get back into the director’s seat for the sequel as well. Also, it will be a co-production of Matt Tolmach Productions and Seven Bucks Productions team of Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Hiram Garcia.

With the writing team of Rosenberg and Pinkner back in place, we can highly hope that the charm of the prequel will be replicated! Let’s keep calm for more updates!
