Dwayne Johnson: Jumanji 4 after Black Adam?

Released theatrically in December 2019, Jumanji Next Level, which airs tonight on TF1, will it be eligible for a sequel?

In December 2017, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle drew 3.4 million viewers in France and grossed $962 million at the global box office on a budget of $90 million.

This party apparently convinced the producers to start a sequel: Jumanji: The Next Level. The film, which was released in December 2019, grossed $800 million internationally and had a total of 3.2 million admissions in France.

However, despite this success, a 4th film (the 1996 episode is considered the first) has yet to be officially announced. The Covid-19 pandemic has slowed negotiations, as director Jake Kasdan noted in April 2020.

“We are just starting to talk about all this. We just started discussions when the global pandemic hit.

We like working together and we like making these films. There will be another film, but right now we’re trying to figure out what that will be.”he said at Collider’s microphone.

In addition, Dwayne Johnson has lined up large-scale projects, such as the action film Red Notice, which is broadcast on Netflix. He was also very involved in the making of Black Adam in addition to being the lead.

In addition, Jake Kasdan has monopolized the actor for another project called Red One, an action blockbuster where The Rock will share the poster with Chris Evans. It will be released on Prime Video in 2023.

So the agenda of Dwayne Johnson and the director is very busy at the moment. However, according to producer Hiram Garcia, Jumanji 4 is still in the works.

“We talk about it, we often have discussions with the whole group who worked on the films, it’s a real family. We started talking about the 4th part”He announced to ComicBook.com in March 2021.

“I can’t say anything yet, but it’s one of our biggest projects, and one of our favorites. We’re planning big things. It’s all on fire.”The producer reassured him.

A few months later, Hiram Garcia confirmed that All Stars will soon be suiting up for production.

“It’s going to happen. That’s for sure. And I can tell you this movie is going to be huge. We were discussing the pitch the other day, we’re going to release it soon at Sony. There’s going to be a movie. It’s going to happen. After Red One. The schedule is on time for all the actors “He trusted Collider.

As a reminder, at the end of the next level, the animals escaped from the game to join our world. So it’s a safe bet that the next film will be set in our world and the quartet will try to set things right.

A story that is close to the original Robin Williams film. It remains to be seen to what extent they will be able to introduce adult avatars in the real world.

So far, the new Jumanji movies have changed the premise of the iconic 1996 film: the real world is no longer invaded by the jungle, but by characters transported to the jungle through a video game. Then 4 high school students found themselves in the bodies of avatars with very different abilities.

Anyway, let fans rest assured, Jumanji 4 will see the light of day. However, it won’t be for at least 2 years. You will have to be patient!

Meanwhile, fans of Dwayne Johnson can find him in Black Adam on October 19.
