The first look at the long-awaited third Jumanji movie has been unveiled. It comes as filming gets underway on the new sequel.
The follow-up to Jumanji: The Next Level has certainly been a long time coming, with the confirmation back in September that it was happening coming six years after the last film.
Studio Sony has now shared a first still of main stars Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black back in character as Smolder, Mouse, Ruby and Shelly, respectively.
“Look who’s on the loose #JumanjiMovie is coming exclusively to theatres Christmas 2026,” they wrote on X, the image showing the quartet standing in the middle of a street.
Johnson recently confirmed that work was getting underway on Jumanji 3 this November, adding to Variety: “The films that I made in the past, I love them. I’ll go back to making them again.”

Jake Kasdan is returning to direct Jumanji 3, with Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg also back to write the screenplay alongside the director.
Producer Hiram Garcia revealed back in 2021 that they had planned to start work on the threequel after 2024’s Red One, telling ComicBook that they had “a big vision for [the next Jumanji] movie” and are “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,” he added. “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 instalment.”
Meanwhile, Hart appeared to previously confirm that the third movie would be the franchise’s final entry, telling Variety in 2023: “We need something big to put our duo to an end, and not just leave it undone.”
Jumanji 3 is due out in cinemas on 11 December 2026.
