Dwayne Johnson's $2 billion franchise really needs a sequel, but a new update regarding Jumanji 4makes me doubt it will ever happen. Following up on the original 1995 film starring Robin Williams, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was released in 2017 with a whole new cast. Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan starred as adult avatar players of the game, and the movie was highly praised for their comedic performances. As a result of the Jumanji movie's $962.5 million box office success, a sequel was released just two years later, titled Jumanji: The Next Level. b2c1k

Jumanji 4 is on the way, and anticipation for the next chapter in the pulpy jungle fantasy series couldn't be higher. The previous movie in the franchise, 2019's Jumanji: The Next Level, teased the potential for new installments in its mid-credits scene, and Jumanji 4 will be the next chapter of the rebooted trilogy story, which started in 2017's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. The Jumanji sequels moved from a board and dice to virtual reality and video games, an applauded decision that's expected to continue in the fourth Jumanji movie.

Jack Black its that he is uncertain about his place in Jumanji 4. Black has been a main actor in the franchise since he was first introduced in the second movie, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017). He starred as Bethany Walker, alongside Dwayne Johnson (Spencer Gilpin), Kevin Hart (Fridge), Karen Gillan (Martha Kaply), and Rhys Darby (Nigel Billingsley). He reprised his role in Jumanji: The Next Level (2019), and he is expected to be involved in the Jumanji 4, which is tentatively scheduled for a December 11, 2026, release.

The question, "When does Jumanji 3 come out?" finally has an answer as some crucial information has been released regarding the entry in the Jumanji movie franchise. The Jumanji movie franchise has proven to be a surprisingly successful one. You might not have guessed it based on the 52% on Rotten Tomatoes of the 1995 original starring Robin Williams, but Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle earned $963 billion at the box office (via BoxOfficeMojo) and the sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level, earned $802 million (via BoxOfficeMojo).

Before Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, there was another sequel in the series that came more than a decade earlier which had a very different style to the original 1995 movie. Jumanji came out in 1995, and immediately became a classic film for all the family. The story, adapted from a novel by Chris Van Allsburg, was brought to life with incredible visual effects, and the wonderful performance of Robin Williams, which led to the movie racking in over a quarter of a billion dollars (via The Numbers).

Kristen Stewart speaks about filming the movie Zathura: A Space Adventure. The movie features Stewart in a ing role, acting in the film several years before her Twilight days. Zathura is a movie set in the world of Jumanji, chronicling the story of two brothers who are hurled into space, along with their entire house, because of the board game they are playing. The film stumbled at the box office, making $65 million worldwide, which could not turn a profit on its budget, which was also $65 million.

Years before Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson starred in his own Jumanji films, Robin Williams' classic comedy got an even better sequel in a completely different movie. Since the original Jumanji was released in 1995, it has become an absolute classic. The film retained so much of its popularity that it was rebooted in 2017, when Dwayne Johnson's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle hit theaters. Johnson's legacy sequels proved so popular that they garnered well over $1 billion at the global box office, and Jumanji 4 was recently confirmed. Despite their success, however, Johnson's Jumanji movies aren't the best sequels in the franchise.

Dwayne Johnson and the cast of the previous Jumanji movies have been incredibly busy lately, so will Jumanji 4 ever happen?

Dwayne Johnson has had several successful movies throughout his career, some of which have become major franchises, but Red One did not perform well enough to be the Jumanji replacement. The story of Red One follows Johnson's character, Callum Drift, who is Head of Security for the North Pole and must enlist the help of a tracker to find Santa after he is kidnapped. In addition to Johnson, the cast of Red One includes Chris Evans, J.K. Simmons, Lucy Liu, and Kiernan Shipka. Despite its star-studded cast, Red One failed to win over critics or audiences.

Jumanji 4 is confirmed for release in 2026, which could be a blessing in disguise for two of its lead actors. The rebooted movie franchise stars The Rock and Jack Black, with Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan. Jumanji: The Next Level was a huge success, earning $800 million at the box office, and though it is not an immediate sequel to the original, the Jumanji movie timeline is straightforward. The team behind the Jumanji movie franchise has already made some smart decisions that have helped to introduce Jumanji to a new audience, and this delay could be one of them.
