It's a follow-up to the 2017 reboot

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.

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."
