First Look of The Movie
Dwayne Johnson always keeps his audience updated about his schedules and work, irrespective of his intensely busy schedule. In March 2019, he also posted the first look of the characters on Instagram. The gang of four: Smolder Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson), Franklin ‘Mouse’ Finbar (Kevin Hart), Ruby Roundhouse (Karen Gillan) and Jack Black (Prof. Sheldon Oberon) are back for the turbulent yet exciting journey of Jumanji 3.
The cast members also seem to have fun on the set. Karen Gillan herself posted a video on Instagram featuring Jack Black singing while asleep. Despite this fun prank, Jack praised about Karren’s character Ruby on his Jablinski Games YouTube channel. He stated that the character has evolved and now she have got more stuff and rad stuff to do this time.
Who Will be Seen in Jumanji 3?
The upcoming movie will feature some new characters along with the core cast members. The Crazy Rich Asians and Ocean’s 8-star Awkwafina will join the third movie. Danny DeVito from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Danny Glover from Lethal Weapon will also feature in the third movie of the franchise. Though their characters are yet to reveal. Dania Ramirez from Once Upon a Time will also join the movie.

What Will Happen in Jumanji 3?
The sequel of 1995’s iconic movie, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle introduced the Jumanji in a new video game form (the last one was a board game). After all the troubles and adventure inside the game, the gang finally succeeds to destroy the video game.
However, the photo from Dwayne’s tweet says something different, when analyzed critically. The picture features the video game cartridge from the previous movie. The person holding it seems like he is trying to assemble the entire unit again. Moreover, Jumanji 3 will focus on the origin of the game. The movie will reveal how the game came to existence. Furthermore, it will explain how the game remakes itself and changes its form from one to another.
Dwayne Johnson stated that the director Jake Kasdan have some dynamite plans for the next installment. Even Jake also revealed that the film would fetch more references from the original movie.
