Would you ever dare to play Jumanji?

The original film was based on the children’s book, Jumanji, written by Chris Van Allsburg, who also co-wrote the film in 1995. In 2017, Columbia Pictures released the film’s first sequel, starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillian. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was followed by Jumanji: The Next Level in 2019.
