Jumanji 3 (working title) is a recently announced film in development. It has been announced by several sources including Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black. This is likely a direct sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, given the surprisingly critical and financial success of at the box office. There had been reports that Sony was already developing a sequel, with the same cast and core creative team in place, but now it's a sure thing. Dwayne Johnson took to social media to announced that Jumanji 3 is being worked on.

Development

Dwayne Johnson confirms the developmental process is well-underway on Jumanji 3. Sony took a bit of a risk a few years back by announcing a Jumanji sequel/reboot was coming. There was a growing fatigue and negativity surrounding any reboots, and with The Rock attached, it had one of Hollywood's most prolific stars. They also planted it just a few weeks after Star Wars: The Last Jedi, a release date that would've sunk most movies. Instead, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle exceeded every expectation and was one of last year's most enjoyable blockbusters.

The feeling of satisfaction it left audience with was proven time and time again as Welcome to the Jungle climbed the box office charts. It has now became Sony's biggest movie ever domestically, and is nearing $1 billion worldwide - even though it's already available on Blu-ray. That's why it came as no surprise when reports surfaced that a sequel being in the works; something that the film's star and producer has now confirmed to be true.

Jumanji 3 is clearly in the early stages of development, but Sony chairman Tom Rothman reportedly already has plans for Jumanji 3 to hit theaters by next Christmas.
