Dwayne Johnson Reveals ‘Jumanji: Open World’ New Look Ahead of Holiday Release: “One Final Game”

Dwayne Johnson is ready to roll the dice for the forthcoming Jumanji: Open World.

Sony Pictures is set to release director Jake Kasdan‘s film in theaters on Dec. 25. Johnson joins fellow returning franchise stars Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan in what has been billed as the final installment in the trilogy.

Jumanji: Open World centers on the game’s heroes breaking free of its console and wreaking havoc on our world. Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff, Morgan Turner, Ser’Darius Blain, Madison Iseman, Rhys Darby and Danny DeVito round out the cast.

On Monday, the studio released the film’s poster, which can be seen below and shows the stars’ faces stacked vertically. In the first trailer that was released online over the summer, the four core characters appear in the real world as stilted versions of their video game avatars.

“Two worlds collide,” Johnson captioned his own Instagram post about the poster. “One final game. #Jumanji: Open World — the last game is coming exclusively to movie theatres CHRISTMAS DAY.”

This movie follows 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which rebooted the franchise after Robin Williams starred in a 1995 feature version adapting Chris Van Allsburg’s 1981 children’s book. Kasdan, who directed the 2017 film and its 2019 sequel, returns to helm Open World from a script he co-wrote with Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg. Kasdan, Johnson, Matt Tolmach, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia serve as producers.

Welcome to the Jungle focused on a group of teenage friends getting trapped inside a video game as a collection of adult avatars. It hit theaters in December 2017 and surpassed $950 million at the global box office. The 2019 sequel, subtitled The Next Level, topped $801 million globally.

Johnson, Hart and Black took the stage at CinemaCon earlier this year, where they unveiled the new movie’s first footage and announced the title. Black told the audience, “I’ve never had more fun working on a movie. This is my favorite so far.”
