Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart are set to reunite for a new jungle adventure as Sony Pictures announces the release of Jumanji 3 on December 11, 2026. Johnson and Hart, who led the previous two films with Jack Black and Karen Gillan, are expected to return, alongside director Jake Kasdan. The movie promises a larger-than-life experience with screenings planned in IMAX and premium large formats.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) brought in over $950 million worldwide, establishing a huge fanbase for its modern twist on the original 1981 children's book and the 1995 Robin Williams film. Its sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level (2019), continued the success, grossing over $800 million globally.
