Cast

Production

Dwayne Johnson revealed in an interview at the end of 2019 that Rory McCann's villain Jurgen the Brutal is actually an avatar of an unknown player, and would be explored in a potential sequel to Jumanji: The Next Level.[7] In March 2020, Jake Kasdan confirmed early developments for a follow-up film.[8][9] Kasdan confirmed plans to maintain the core cast of the previous two films.[10] The following month, the filmmaker stated that the story for the next installment was in development.[11] It was later reported that the follow-up film was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[12]

In November 2021, producer Hiram Garcia confirmed that a pitch was developed and was ready to be presented to the studio after Kasdan finished his work on the upcoming Red One (2024).[13] The following month he reiterated plans to develop the next Jumanji film, once filming on Red One wraps, stating that this time-table works with the actors' busy production schedules.[14] In October 2024, Sony Pictures Releasing confirmed that the film was in active development, with Kasdan returning to write and direct, and Johnson, Jack Black, Hart, and Karen Gillan set to reprise their roles.[3] In October 2025, Brittany O'Grady and Burn Gorman joined the cast with Awkwafina, Alex Wolff, Morgan Turner, Ser'Darius Blain, and Madison Iseman set to reprise their roles from the prior films.[4] The next month, it was revealed that Danny DeVito, Nick Jonas, Rhys Darby, Marin Hinkle, Bebe Neuwirth, and Lamorne Morris would reprise their roles from the previous film, with Dan Hildebrand and Jack Jewkes joining the cast.[5] Nasim Pedrad also features in the cast.[6] The film's complete title was revealed as Jumanji: Open World during the CinemaCon 2026 presentation in April 2026.[15]

Filming

Principal photography began in November 2025, in Los Angeles.[16][17] DeVito finished filming his scenes by February 2026, with Black finishing his scenes the following month.[18][19] Filming wrapped on March 30, 2026.[20] Ben Davis served as the cinematographer.[21]

Music

Henry Jackman composed the score for the film.[22]

Post-production

Mark Helfrich edited the film.[23]
