GoKawiilSony releases trailer for Jumanji: Open World, out Christmas Day
Sony Pictures has dropped a new trailer for Jumanji: Open World, director Jake Kasdan's third film in the rebooted franchise, which hits theaters December 25. The film reunites Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan, with a plot in which the Jumanji game escapes its console and spills into the real world, continuing a thread set up in a mid-credits scene from 2019's Jumanji: The Next Level.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The franchise reboot has proven a major moneymaker for Sony, with Welcome to the Jungle alone grossing nearly $1 billion worldwide, so a successful close to the trilogy could matter to the studio's holiday lineup. Releasing a week after Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three suggests Sony is positioning the film as family-friendly counterprogramming rather than competing head-on for the same audience.

- Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan all return for the trilogy's finale
