Dwayne Johnson posted a video on Instagram teasing his upcoming family adventure movie Jumanji 3, which is set for release in 2026.
The actor recorded himself driving around Universal Studios in Hollywood in a golf cart and celebrating the first day of filming on the “big fun movie” in Los Angeles where, he noted, the hardworking cast and crew can sleep in their own beds at the end of the day instead of being in some far-flung location.
Johnson also pointed to a six-sided die he wore around his neck as a nod to late actor Robin Williams, who starred in the first Jumanji movie back in 1995.
“It’s a show of respect and a way of honoring Robin and this entire franchise that he started as we film our very last Jumanji, the big finale. Here we go, let’s shoot,” Johnson said in the video.
