Sony Unveils Jumanji: Open World Title and Trailer at CinemaCon

Sony Pictures unveiled the title and first trailer for the third installment in its rebooted Jumanji franchise at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 13, 2026, with stars Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black joining the presentation to the theater industry audience.

The film, titled Jumanji: Open World, marks the conclusion of the trilogy that began with 2017's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and continued with 2019's Jumanji: The Next Level. Directed by Jake Kasdan, who helmed the previous entries, it features a screenplay by Kasdan, Jeff Pinkner, and Scott Rosenberg. The production is overseen by Matt Tolmach, Johnson, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, and Kasdan, with executive producers including Barry Waldman and Chris Van Allsburg, the author of the original 1981 children's book that inspired the series.

In the trailer, the story shifts the action from the video game world into reality, as jungle elements from Jumanji invade a quiet New England town. Johnson's character, Dr. Xander "Smolder" Bravestone, adopts a Spanish persona, while Hart's Franklin "Mouse" Finbar and Black's Professor Sheldon "Shelly" Oberon appear stuck in "demo mode," navigating glitches in their avatars....
