Overview
- The studio released the first official trailer on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, giving the public its first full look at the film’s premise and footage.
- The teaser shows the video‑game avatars played by Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan operating in the real world and behaving like limited, 'demo mode' versions of themselves.
- Jake Kasdan returns to co‑write and direct the third entry with Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg while producers include Matt Tolmach, Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia.
- Sony moved the release from December 11 to December 25, 2026, placing Jumanji: Open World in the crowded holiday window directly after Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three.
- The film reunites most of the rebooted cast and leans on a franchise that grossed roughly $1.7 billion from its 2017 and 2019 films as it seeks family audiences in a high‑competition season; one outlet reports the trailer will screen with this weekend’s Spider‑Man showings but that claim is single‑sourced.
