Dwayne Johnson has confirmed rumors that Jumanji will be a sequel; NOT a remake. For those who don’t know, Jumanji is an illustrated children’s book written by Chris Van Allsburg (The Polar Express) and published in 1981. It later became adapted to the popular family-friendly film starring the late Robin Williams in 1995. Months ago, it was rumored that the new Jumanji film was to be a reboot.The Rock took to Instagram to announce that the new Jumanji will be a continuation (photo below).
In two weeks, Johnson will team up with Central Intelligence co-star/friend Kevin Hart and Jack Black to introduce the new Jumanji. Johnson makes sure to state in his IG post that the film will be a sequel and not a reboot. It will be “a continuation of the awesome JUMANJI story.” The key word in that sentence is “continuation,” which most likely means it won’t be an exact sequel. Fans can guess it’s going to acknowledge the events of the past while also being its own original story. His hashtags on IG prove that with these three stars we can expect some good laughter, a new family, and a new story-line honoring the first film. The film is set to come out sometime next year.
