Jumanji: Open World The Final Game in the Trilogy

Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black reunite for Jumanji: Open World, billed as the final film in the current trilogy, slated for 2026. Jake Kasdan returns to the director's chair for a franchise that has quietly become one of Sony's most reliable family-blockbuster engines.

Holiday-season releases are reserved for four-quadrant crowd-pleasers, and Jumanji has earned that slot — the video-game-body-swap premise is endlessly renewable, and the cast's chemistry is the real special effect. It's the year's closing gift to families looking for a sure thing.
