Returning to their fan-favorite roles are Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan, joining Johnson once again to take audiences on what promises to be the most thrilling and emotional chapter yet.
Jake Kasdan Returns to Direct
The film will once again be directed by Jake Kasdan, who successfully helmed Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019). Kasdan’s deep connection with the franchise makes him the ideal choice to conclude the saga with the same humor, heart, and high-stakes adventure that fans love.

To celebrate the start of filming, Johnson shared behind-the-scenes photos on his Instagram account, featuring the reunited cast on set.
In an emotional caption, the Hollywood superstar wrote:
“The official production of Jumanji has started in Los Angeles. This journey has been incredibly enjoyable and deeply personal for us. The final chapter of Jumanji feels like a beautiful conclusion. It’s been a joy to work with the team again. We laughed so much and realized how much we missed that fun and humor. Now, it’s time to create the best movie ever.”
A Legendary Franchise Nears Its End
Since its revival, the Jumanji series has captivated global audiences, blending comedy, fantasy, and action in a way that redefined the adventure genre. The last two films collectively grossed over $1.7 billion worldwide, making Jumanji one of Sony Pictures’ most successful franchises.
With the original cast returning, Kasdan’s steady direction, and Hollywood-scale production, the final chapter promises to deliver a grand, heartfelt farewell to a beloved cinematic universe.
Fans can expect a spectacular adventure filled with humor, nostalgia, and emotional closure — the perfect ending to the Jumanji journey.
