Overview
- Sony released the official trailer on Wednesday that depicts Jumanji escaping its console and releasing beasts and hazards into real-world locations such as city streets.
- The trailer confirms the principal cast — Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan — and shows avatar-player swaps that shift who controls the familiar game personas.
- Jake Kasdan returns to direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg, with producers including Matt Tolmach, Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia.
- Key trailer beats include action-comedy set pieces, a sequence in which Johnson’s avatar nearly gets eaten by a hippopotamus, and stakes flagged as higher because there are no extra lives or resets.
- Sony has billed Open World as the final chapter in the modern Jumanji trilogy and set its wide release for December 25, 2026, a move that places the family tentpole in direct competition for screens and audiences with other holiday blockbusters.
