Overview
- Sony, which premiered the first trailer Monday at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, confirmed the official title as Jumanji: Open World.
- The release shifts from December 11 to December 25, 2026, placing the film in the holiday corridor after the studio moved off a crowded early-December slate.
- Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan return with director Jake Kasdan, as writers Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg rejoin the creative team after two prior hits that grossed about $962 million and $801 million worldwide.
- Footage shown only to exhibitors teases Jumanji elements crashing into a New England–style town, with avatars appearing in "demo mode" and Johnson’s Dr. Bravestone speaking in a Spanish accent.
- Johnson dedicated the film to Robin Williams and said one half of the original 1995 dice appears throughout, and he has suggested this could be his final starring turn in the series.
