The JUMANJI SEQUEL is officially underway,” Johnson’s Instagram post said. “Holy shit what a dynamite pitch from our writer/director Jake Kasdan.

He did add a nbit of a spoiler in the following sentence, saying that co-star Kevin Hart meets his maker pretty early on in proceedings.
“And sorry for the spoiler but @kevinhart4real dies in the first 15 seconds of the movie, to what I’m assuming will be a HUGE standing ovation from the audience and the cast.”
Karen Gillan and Jack Black were also amongst the cast of the last movie and are expectd to return for a new one.
The last film in the series was a huge hit with fans and critics, and managed to score a massive $961 million around the world. It was the 27th biggest film to open at the U.S. box-office ever.
