At a Toronto Q&A, Dwayne Johnson said cameras roll on the new Jumanji in November. He also name-checked his long-time partner Kevin Hart as part of the plan. The film follows 2017’s Welcome to the Jungle and 2019’s The Next Level, with Sony already holding December 11, 2026 for the sequel.

-
Cast: Johnson and Hart are returning, with Jack Black and Karen Gillan expected back once deals close.

Director: Jake Kasdan is lined up to return, continuing the reboot run.
