Jake Kasdan — director of 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and 2019’s Jumanji: The Next Level — is slated to helm the next chapter.
The blockbuster franchise follows a group of teens who get sucked into a video game and have to meet numerous challenges to get home.
The 1995 film Jumanji — starring Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt and Kirsten Dunst — followed a similar plot, but involved a board game instead of an electronic one.
In addition to the three Jumanji movies, Kasdan and Johnson collaborated on Red One, a holiday movie co-starring Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, J.K. Simmons and Kiernan Shipka that is set to open on Nov. 15. Advertisement
