Famed actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has announced exciting news for fans of the Jumanji series. Johnson announced that filming will begin in November of this year and that the film will be released on December 11, 2026.

Jumanji 3 is officially here

The new series, which began with a 22-year remake of the classic 1995 film, achieved great success with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Jumanji 3, the next installment in the series, reunites Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillian, as in the previous installments. Jake Kasdan, who directed the first two films, will return as director.

The new Jumanji series has made a clever conceptual shift by bringing the story to the video game. This allows the avatars in the game world to remain the same, even though the characters playing the game may change. This allows the main cast to portray different characters in each new film.

This allows for the telling of brand new stories while preserving the series’ star cast. Fans of the series are expecting the cast to take on new characters in the upcoming film.

The classic Jumanji series continues its return to the big screen. Star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced that filming for the next installment will begin in November of this year and will hit theaters on December 11, 2026.

This development has sparked an exciting wait for fans of the series. Following Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Jumanji: The Next Level, Jake Kasdan will be behind the camera for Jumanji 3.

Along with Johnson, the main cast, including Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillian, are also returning. The series’ video game concept allows players to take on new personalities, leading to a different adventure in each installment.
