Is There Going To Be A 3rd Jumanji
Remember that board game that sucked Robin Williams into a jungle? Then remember how that became a video game that sucked in Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and a bunch of teenagers? Yeah, Jumanji! The question on everyone’s mind is: are we going back to the jungle (or wherever it decides to take us next)?
The Rumor Mill is Churning
The internet is buzzing like a beehive that just got poked with a stick. Whispers, theories, and even a few outright proclamations about a third installment are everywhere.
Is it happening? Is it just wishful thinking? Let's dive into what we (think) we know.
Must Read
The Rock Says...Maybe?
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, being the super-busy superstar that he is, hasn’t exactly been shouting from the rooftops about Jumanji 3. But, he hasn't said "no" either!
In the past, he's expressed interest in continuing the story, hinting that there are more layers to explore within the Jumanji universe. That sounds promising, right?
The Director's Game Plan
Director Jake Kasdan, the guy behind Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Jumanji: The Next Level, seems to be on board too.
He's mentioned wanting to connect the original Jumanji with the newer films, suggesting a possible storyline that bridges the gap between the board game and the video game worlds. Imagine that!
What Could It Even Be About?
This is where things get really fun. The ending of Jumanji: The Next Level left the door WIDE open for some serious craziness.
Remember how the jungle animals escaped into the real world? Picture rhinos stampeding through Times Square or monkeys wreaking havoc in a library. Comedy gold!
Perhaps the original characters (Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Jack Black) need to find a way to get those animals back where they belong. Or maybe the game glitches and creates even MORE bizarre crossovers.
The Hurdles to Overcome
Of course, making a blockbuster movie isn't as simple as snapping your fingers and shouting "Jumanji!". There are schedules to coordinate, scripts to write, and budgets to consider.
The cast, particularly The Rock, has a million projects going on at once. Getting everyone together at the same time is like herding cats… very famous, very busy cats.
And then there's the script. It needs to be funny, exciting, and offer something new to keep audiences engaged. No one wants to see the same movie for the third time.
Why We WANT Another Jumanji
Beyond the action and the special effects, the Jumanji movies have a surprising amount of heart. They're about friendship, self-discovery, and learning to embrace your inner weirdo.
Seeing these actors embody completely different characters is hilarious. Plus, who doesn’t love a good adventure that takes you to wild and unpredictable places?
Ultimately, the success of a third Jumanji movie hinges on a combination of factors: the cast's availability, a compelling story, and the studio's green light.
But for now, we can dream about what might be. Maybe the game will evolve again. Maybe we'll see even stranger characters. Maybe, just maybe, Jumanji 3 will be the wildest ride yet!
So, keep your ears open and your eyes peeled. The jungle (or whatever it is this time) may be calling sooner than you think!
