Why it matters

The Jumanji franchise, revived by the commercially successful 2017 and 2019 entries, returns with a fourth Columbia Pictures film directed by Jake Kasdan.

About Jumanji: Open World

Jumanji: Open World turns the premise of the last two films inside out. Where the heroes were previously pulled into the game's jungle, this time the game escapes its console and spills into the ordinary world. Jake Kasdan returns to direct, as he did for the 2017 and 2019 entries, writing with Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg, and Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan are all back in the roles that revived the series.

Columbia Pictures opens it on December 25, 2026, shifted slightly from an earlier December date and planted in the holiday stretch where the previous two entries did their business. Little has been shown so far, and the studio has kept its new casting vague. The draw is what it was before: four comic actors playing against type inside a game that keeps rewriting its own rules, now with those rules loose on the outside.
