‘Jumanji 3’ is set for a Dec. 11, 2026 theatrical release. Per Variety, the film franchise will return to theaters for the third installment starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart and Jack Black.

Jake Kasdan, who directed 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and 2019’s Jumanji: The Next Level, is returning to helm the next chapter. In addition to the three Jumanji movies, Kasdan and Johnson collaborated on Red One, the holiday movie co-starring Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, J.K. Simmons and Kiernan Shipka that recently premiered in theaters.

The blockbuster Jumanji franchise follows a group of teens who get sucked into a video game and have to meet numerous challenges to get home. The originally 1995 film Jumanji — starring Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt and Kirsten Dunst — followed a similar plotline, but involved a board game instead of an electronic one.
