Fans can expect their first glimpse at Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle later this week, now that the first trailer is scheduled to debut on Thursday.
Columbia Pictures has been developing Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle for several years now, and it’s just the latest movie to follow Hollywood’s recent trend of producing sequels to age-old movies.
Instead, the Jumanji sequel follows the adventures of four new teenagers who come into contact with the Jumanji video game and, consequently, get sucked into its world.
That’s something that Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle‘s cast and crew have been cognizant about; they know the original film is revered, and they need to tread carefully with the material.
