The announcement of this sequel comes 22 years after the original Jumanji was released, starring Robin Williams. The original actually teased a sequel when the game washed up on a beach and two girls decided to play it. Not sure if that’s what will happen in the sequel, but it would be a good start to build off of. But I think the sequel will come up with their own introduction to the sequel. But, Johnson already said that the sequel will honor Williams.

“An important thing that I want to be honest and bring up is Robin Williams. The love and respect I have for this man is boundless. You have my word, we will honor his name and the character of “Alan Parrish” will stand alone and be forever immortalized in the world of Jumanji in an earnest and cool way. I have an idea of what to do and I think his family will be proud. I also think Robin is somewhere lookin’ down and laughing, remembering the first time we met backstage and I (for the first time ever) was a star struck bumbling idiot that couldn’t even get my words out. Idiot. He literally calmed me down w/ that smile and laugh. But that’s for another fun story down the road.”

No plot details have been released yet, but with production coming close to completion, we might get something within a month or two. Jack Black and Nick Jonas will also star in this sequel.

Jumanji 2 is scheduled to be released on July 28, 2017!
