Sony Pictures has officially confirmed that Jumanji 3 is moving forward, with production gaining momentum thanks to $43.9 million in California tax credits. The much-anticipated third installment in the rebooted franchise will see the return of Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Jack Black. The film is scheduled for release in the United States on December 11, 2026.
Titled Jumanji 3, the movie continues the blockbuster saga that began with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019). Both films were global successes, grossing nearly $2 billion combined. The new chapter is expected to build on that success with an even bigger scale and budget.
According to industry sources, the film’s budget could exceed $125 million, making it one of the largest productions in the franchise’s history. The California tax credits indicate the state’s growing role in supporting major Hollywood projects, further solidifying it as a prime location for high-profile film production.
While Jumanji 3’s plot remains under wraps, fans can expect the signature mix of humor, adventure, and heart that made the previous movies so popular. The story is expected to bring back the video game world concept, with new challenges and expanded environments that push the limits of imagination.
The production team has hinted that this could be the final entry in the reboot series, though no official confirmation has been made. Filming is expected to begin in mid-2025, with updates on international release dates, including Germany, expected soon.
With its December 2026 release date, Jumanji 3 will once again target the holiday season—a slot that proved highly successful for its predecessors. Fans around the world are already counting down to the return of one of Hollywood’s most beloved adventure franchises.
