The ensemble cast includes Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff, Morgan Turner, Ser’Darius Blain, Madison Iseman, Lamorne Morris, and Danny DeVito. In a recent table read video, Johnson remarked that the reunion led to endless laughter among the team.

Both contemporary Jumanji films have enjoyed remarkable box-office performance, with ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ earning over $950 million, while ‘The Next Level’ grossed more than $801 million worldwide. With filming now in progress and the full cast assembled, audiences can anticipate yet another thrilling, emotional, and high-energy journey when Jumanji 3 debuts in theaters in 2026.
