Sony Pictures releases the first trailer for “Jumanji: Open World,” the third film in the current live-action trilogy and described by multiple outlets as the “final” chapter. The teaser reunites the core ensemble—Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan—along with additional cast members including Alex Wolff, Madison Iseman, Morgan Turner, Ser’Darius Blain, Rhys Darby, Nick Jonas, and Danny DeVito, according to reports.
Across coverage, the central premise is that the game escapes into the real world. Several outlets describe a “real-world twist” in which the characters’ video game avatars, previously tied to the Jumanji setting, are pulled out of the console and forced to deal with the chaos in everyday surroundings. The trailer also highlights game-like elements such as respawns and boss-fight style encounters.
Sony releases the film in theaters on December 25, with some reporting noting it aligns with the Christmas release window and competes with other major films. The trailer positions the story as a wrap-up of the trilogy, following 2017’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” and 2019’s “Jumanji: The Next Level.”
