Jumanji: The Next Level
Jack Black saysJumanji 3should take the franchise where it ’s never endure before , namely into outer space . Sony has formally confirmed thatJumanji 3will materialize , and likeJumanji : receive to the Jungle , its release datewill put it in direct competitionwithStar Wars . Of naturally , going up against the crowing dealership in the worlddidn’t hurt the lastJumanjiwhen it occur out last year . In fact , theJumanjireboot actually knockedThe Last Jediout of the top spot at the box office .
expectation were actually not high forWelcome to the Junglewhen it was announced , despite the presence ofhuge film sensation Dwayne Johnson . Most were sceptical that a moving-picture show reboot of a somewhat - forget ' XC one - off comedy - action mechanism film would in fact catch on with audiences . But conductor Jake Kasdan and his get ahead mold pushed all the right buttons , andJumanjiroared its agency to $ 956 million globally , making it Sony ’s biggest - gross motion-picture show ever .

Now , Sony has the challenge of keep abreast up their big film with a sequel that recaptures that unexpected trick . For his part , Welcome to the Junglestar Jack Black think he has the perfect idea for carry the franchise forward . He wantsJumanjito journeying into space . As Black toldMTV(viaCinema Blend ):
I say we take this female parent into outer space . ‘Cause my dubiousness with Jumanji is , ' What is this game ? Who invented this biz ? ' It has to be some alien technology . Am I right ? Or it ’s some crazy jungle medicine man legerdemain . I wanna know where it ’s from . Give me some f – king rootage , y’ all !
In the originalJumanji , it was a board plot of apparently ancient origin that sucked the characters into a real - life adventure . ForWelcome to the Jungle , the board game became re - think as a more era - appropriate television biz . But in neither example were we devote any mind of where the game in question hail from , or why anyone would make such a thing . In the case of the video gameJumanji , it might make sense for unknown to have created it , perhaps as a sort of exam a laThe Last Starfighter . In that causa , to do an origin story would obviously require a journey into space as Jack Black betoken .
As much fun as takingJumanjiinto space might be , the second movie in the rebooted franchise would arguably not be the best place to do it . Historically , franchises only pull out the " go into space " function at a point where all estimation have run out and despair has set in . in all probability the most notorious example of a franchise going into space was the Bond filmMoonraker , which came out in the backwash ofStar Wars , and decided sending Bond to a space station for a full - on optical maser fight would take in the kids . Then there was the infamousJason X , theFriday the 13thsequel that sent the hockey masque get into nonparallel grampus into outer space . Among modernistic day franchise , there ’s been some talkof sendingFast and Furiousinto blank .
But perhaps the good argument against sendingJumanji 3to space is the fact that it ’s already going up againstStar Wars , and that would be a little fleck too much like trying to crusade the Force on its own sod . So maybe Jack Black does n’t have such a great idea after all .
