Jumanji sequel finally has a hilarious trailer starring Danny DeVito
It's a follow-up to the 2017 reboot
Author: Emma DoddsPublished 1st Jul 2019
Fans of the original 1995 Jumanji film were dubious to say the least when the reboot came out in 2017, entitled Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. However, the film - starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan - was a roaring success, grossing over $962 million worldwide and becoming the fifth-highest grossing film of the year.
So it's no surprise that there's a third one on the way! Set to be released on 13th December 2019, the film sees the return of the four main characters, as well as new faces Danny DeVito and Danny Glover, who apparently join the game as avatars Smolder Bravestone and Franklin 'Mouse' Finbar - Dwayne and Kevin's characters.
We now finally have a trailer for the third film entitled Jumanji: The Next Level - and it's safe to say it does NOT disappoint!
From the trailer, we can see that Spencer Gilpin, played by Alex Wolff, couldn't deal with returning to reality after being Smolder Bravestone AKA Dwayne Johnson in the game. He somehow fixes the game, despite having destroyed it in the previous film.
His friends - Bethany Walker, Anthony 'Fridge' Johnson and girlfriend Martha Kaply - notice that he hasn't been at school, and visit his house to find him, only to find his eccentric grandfather Eddie, played by Danny DeVito, and his friend Milo, played by Danny Glover.

Frozen 2
The first Frozen film was one of the most popular children's films of the decade, so it's no surprise that a sequel has been in the works since its release in 2013. Bringing back Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel as sisters Anna and Elsa, Frozen 2 will be released in the UK on 22nd November 2019.

Toy Story 4
There were no dry eyes in the house at the end of Toy Story 3 - and whilst many were happy with how the trilogy finished, the new trailer has made fans realise that perhaps they do need another film in the series after all. Toy Story 4 will be released in the UK on 21st June 2019.
Avengers: Endgame
The second part to the finale of the Avengers film series will be released next year. Following on from Infinity War where half the population of the world has been wiped out by Thanos - including a LOT of our favourite Avengers - how on earth will our heroes conquer the evil genius? Avengers: Endgame will be released in UK cinemas on 26th April 2019.
Star Wars: Episode IX
There's also another major finale to a trilogy coming out next year in the form of Star Wars: Episode IX. After Rey was able to harness the Force, fans have been left wondering if they'll ever discover her true parentage - or whether she really is a nobody, as Kylo Ren said. It will be released on 20th December 2019.
Dumbo
Disney are not holding back with their plans to give most of their old classic films the live-action treatment after the success of films like The Jungle Book, and Dumbo is now in the works. The trailer on its own had viewers weeping, so it's most likely to be a huge tear-jerker when it's released in the UK on 29th March 2019.
The Lion King
Another Disney classic to be given a live-action makeover next year is The Lion King. Fans of the original were dubious over whether anything could compare to the 1994 animated film, but the star-studded voice cast has managed to turn people around. The Lion King will be released in the UK on 19th July 2019.
It: Chapter 2
The sequel to the incredibly successful 2017 remake of It will be released next year, following the lives of the children after they've grown up. Although the child cast will still star, James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain and Bill Hader will take on the roles for the sequel. It: Chapter 2 will be released in the UK on 6th September 2019.
Aladdin
2019 is going to be a huge year for the Disney live-action remakes, as Aladdin is also set to be released. Directed by Guy Ritchie, fans of the original cannot wait to see Will Smith's take on the Genie after it was originated by the late, great Robin Williams. Aladdin will be released in the UK on 24th May 2019.
Men In Black: International
Men In Black: International will take the focus away from Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and instead reunite Thor actors Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. Also starring Liam Neeson and Emma Thompson, the sequel will be released in the UK on 14th June 2019.

The three pals then head back into the game to try and find Spencer - but whilst Martha has returned to her avatar of Ruby Roundhouse (Karen Gillan), Fridge has now become Bethany's former avatar Professor Sheldon Oberon (Jack Black).
They soon realise that Eddie has become Smolder (Dwayne Johnson) and Milo has become Mouse (Kevin Hart) - which is going to make for pretty hilarious viewing, as the body swapping continues!
The official synopsis reads, "In Jumanji: The Next Level, the gang is back but the game has changed.
"As they return to Jumanji to rescue one of their own, they discover that nothing is as they expect. The players will have to brave parts unknown and unexplored, from the arid deserts to the snowy mountains, in order to escape the world’s most dangerous game."
