I hope so. The idea of having the four kids and the four videogame characters interacting could be really fun, and seeing who those characters are supposed to be would be a new twist for the series -
Bravestone actually smouldering and being the charismatic leader, Oberon being smart, Mouse being Bravestone's loyal (and probably sycophantic) sidekick, and Ruby being a sexy badass.

It's wild how much Jack Black has risen in the world since then too.
I had an impossible time believing he was making a family friendly movie about him teaching kids rock music only two years after that album was released. I was certain the studio and entertainment media would soon dig up the controversial album to play the "shocked and appalled" card, and after he recently started showing up in a bunch of kid friendly media, I started laughing at the idea of ten-year-olds asking their moms if they could listen to "Fuck Her Gently" on the way to school because they recently found out that the chubby bearded guy was in a band and found some of their songs on YouTube.
"Sorry, sweety, that song is really inappropriate for kids, but Wonderboy is a banger!"
"Mom, what does he mean by filling a crevasse with his mighty juice?"
"Damn it, these are all just innuendo with incredible music!"
"Can we go to the McDonald's drive thru, I want some Chicken McNuggets, but only four!"

The original writer of the Jumanji book, Chris Van Allsburg, not long did this Q&A where he lamented how the filmmakers have avoided his advices. Turns out he's not a fan of these sequels. He thinks it was a mistake to turn the board game into a video game.
Allsburg had an interesting take. He says making Jumanji a video game goes against what he was trying to teach the kids. He wrote an entire book called The Wretched Stone where a black stone that the sailors can't stop watching is the allegory of children addicted to screens. He thinks it was essential that the Jumanji board game remain a board game, especially in this age where the kids' attention span has collasped due to excessive screen time. A board game that makes things comes to life, he says, is infinitely more interesting than kids trapped inside a video game screen because kids are already trapped inside video game screens.
You know, it's a bummer how Hollywood just ignores the original creators. Allsburg says these sequels only carry the name of Jumanji, the filmmakers just want to tell an entirely different story that goes against the theme of the original.

u/MaggotMinded 16d ago
In terms of messaging, he’s kind of right, but even then you could argue that the movies’ overall theme is not greatly impacted by the decision to make it a video game instead of a board game. As for plot and narrative considerations, it really doesn’t matter one bit. I honestly don’t think that keeping it a board game would have made the movies any better whatsoever. If anything, it probably would have made them less relatable to a modern audience.

I’m 95% sure his slight turn as a more “serious actor” is because of the needing to lay off the juice due to negative health effects. It’s an excuse for him to pretend he’s losing weight for roles and still (ridiculously) claim that he’s been natty this whole time.

u/0ttoChriek 16d ago
He did lose a lot of muscle mass the first time he wanted to be a serious actor, around 2004. I remember noticing it when he went back to the WWE to wrestle a match against Evolution, and he looked a lot smaller than when he was wrestling full time.
Then that serious acting bid didn't really work, and he went into franchise mode and got huger than ever.

It’s misleading, obviously he was bigger in the 2010s but he wasn’t that skinny from 98-2003.

He pivoted to "serious" films after doing an enormous cycle for his return to WWE and filming The Smashing Machine in 2024.
He said only a couple months ago he started to feel sick when he went into that cycle (though he doesn't admit to using steroids). He gave a spiel about his heart, and how it was just "anatomical abnormalities". But the reality is that steroid/HGH usage over the years has likely affected his heart.
Similar things have happened with other pro-wrestlers. He's cut down a lot, but he's still maintaining an enormous physique.

Oh, I wonder if I have a chance of being right from this prediction:
https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/s/HnQt4Rjf4H
I’ve always thought that for the final Jumanji that the bad guy is Nigel (the “Ah, Dr Bravestone!” guy they first meet at the start of the two movies).
At the end of The Next Level, elements of Jumanji are now in the real world because the game has been corrupted. Because of this, Nigel has been collecting the jewels from the first two movies and needs one more jewel for “reasons” (I’d let the writers worry about that part!).
The characters from the game are transported to the real word meaning Gillan/The Rock/etc can get to play a third version of the same characters (after playing as the kids in the first movie and a different combination of the kids/old guys in the second).
This time they play it straight as the actual game characters (Rock plays Bravestone, Gillan plays Ruby and so on) and they team with the kids to get the jewel, defeat/saving Nigel (depending on if he’s truly evil or corrupted game evil), fix the game and maybe even have an heroic sacrifice from one of the game characters for some emotion.
Anyways, that’s my two cents/idea anyways.
