Development

Dwayne Johnson revealed in an interview at the end of 2019 that the villain Jurgen the Brutal is actually an avatar of an unknown character, and would be explored in a potential sequel to Jumanji: The Next Level.[1] In March 2020, Jake Kasdan confirmed early developments for a follow-up film.[2][3] Kasdan confirmed plans to maintain the core cast of the previous two films.[4] The following month, the filmmaker stated that the story for the next installment is in development.[5] It is later reported that the follow-up film was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]

In November 2021, producer Hiram Garcia confirmed that a pitch was developed and is ready to be presented to the studio after Kasdan finishes his work on the upcoming Red One (2024).[7] The following month he reiterated plans to develop the next Jumunji film, once filming on Red One wraps, stating that this time-table works with the actors' busy production schedules.[8] In March 2023, Kevin Hart indicated that it would be the final film in the series.[9] In October 2024, Sony Pictures Releasing confirmed that the film was in active development, with Kasdan returning to write and direct, and Johnson, Jack Black, Hart, and Karen Gillan set to reprise their roles.[10]
