In an Instagram post made earlier today, Johnson revealed that, after a long search, Jumanji has cast Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Who) as the female lead.
The joy, the wonder, the fear: Jumanji awoke the imaginations of its generation, appealing directly to everything they loved about movies and storytelling.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (Fast 8) has been tapped to star in what’s been billed as a continuation of the original classic.
With its seemingly undying appeal, it’s no wonder that Sony would want to dip their toes in that water another time.
