Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle continues to be a huge hit at the box office, where it opened against Star Wars: The Last Jedi and grossed $857 million worldwide (on a $100 million budget) — all but guaranteeing a sequel.
Sony, hoping for a repeat performance, plans to release the next Jumanji in December 2019, pitting it against Star Wars yet again.
According to Deadline, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black are all returning to reprise their roles as the characters in the Jumanji video game.
Screenwriting duo Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, who wrote the screenplay for Welcome to the Jungle, have been enlisted to whip up a worthy sequel.
