The sequel to 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has been in development for some time, with writers Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner taking on the script.
The sequel to 1995’s Jumanji ended up bringing in around $956 million worldwide, over 3.5x the worldwide gross of the original film from 1995.
“Since I was one of the characters that existed outside of the game, I don’t get the plush, tropical locale.”
The director of the previous film, Jake Kasdan (Orange County, Bad Teacher), is also returning to helm the new installment.
