It’s time to jump back into the game: “Jumanji 3″ is officially headed to theaters on Dec. 11, 2026. The film from Columbia Pictures will also screen in IMAX and premium large formats.
Franchise stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart and Jack Black are expected to return alongside director Jake Kasdan, who helmed 2017’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” and 2019’s “Jumanji: The Next Level.” The series follows a group of teenagers who find themselves trapped inside a video game.
Matt Tolmach, Johnson, Kasdan, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia, who all produced the 2019 sequel, will return to produce the third film. Tolmach also produced the first film alongside William Teitler.
Producer Hiram Garcia previously teased the threequel in 2021, indicating that the team intended to get to work on it following Johnson’s “Red One,” which hits theaters on Nov. 15. “We’ve got a big vision for [the next ‘Jumanji’] movie,” he said. “So we’re fired up for that. We’re taking it in soon. And obviously the goal is sometime after… Jake [Kasdan] is doing ‘Red One’ for us, so that is going to be next up. But sometime after ‘Red One’ comes out, ‘Jumanji’ is going to be on deck. I feel like we’ll have everything ready by then and we’ll be able to get into that third installment.”
Hart said in 2023 that the third film would be the final entry in the series, and bring his character’s relationship with Johnson’s full-circle: “We need something big to put our duo to an end, and not just leave it undone.”
“Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” earned over $960 million worldwide, becoming the fifth-highest grossing film of 2017. “Jumanji: The Next Level” was similarly a box office smash, grossing over $800 million worldwide.
