Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart Return in 'Jumanji: Open World'

The teaser shows the returning ensemble as Sony sets the third Jumanji film for a Christmas theatrical release after the franchise topped $1.7 billion worldwide.

  • On Wednesday, Sony Pictures released the official trailer for Jumanji: Open World, confirming the film will hit theaters on December 25, 2026.
  • The trailer reveals the video game has invaded the real world, trapping characters in "demo mode." "We have a problem. They're video game characters, but they," Alex Wolff's character explains.
  • Director Jake Kasdan returns to helm the project, which follows two prior films grossing more than $1.7 billion worldwide. The ensemble cast includes Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan.
  • Sony positioned the film for a crowded December slate: Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday debut December 18, creating what fans have dubbed "Dunesday."
  • As the final installment in the trilogy, the film continues the series' signature action and body-swap comedy, with Danny DeVito and Nick Jonas joining the returning leads.
