Dwayne Johnson Reveals ‘Jumanji’ Movie is NOT a Reboot

Dwayne Johnson reveals the Jumanji movie is actually a sequel and not a reboot.

In between the Fast & Furious on set beef between Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Vin Diesel, The Rock revealed some interesting hints about his next movie, Jumanji. 

Tucked into Johnson’s Instagram message thanking the Fast 8 team after wrapping filming is a note of clarification about this new Jumanji offering.

Finished strong and on to the next. That’s an officially wrap on #FastAndFurious8. Thank you to our director @fgarygray for the vision and execution. Thank you UNIVERSAL for being tremendous partners as always, thank you to all my fellow co-stars for the daily effort and grind. Scott Eastwood you handsome sumbitch! Natalie Emmanuel I have a cold Budweiser ready for you and Tyrese Gibson you still have the biggest smile and forehead I’ve ever seen.? And a huge THANK YOU to our hard working production crew – the backbone of our business. Your kind words meant a lot to me last night – thank you! In the end, we all rallied, as great teams do, kicked ass and will deliver an amazing movie to the world. Proud of our entire FAST FAMILY. And now in two weeks I’ll reunite with ol’ friends Kevin Hart & Jack Black and we have the honor to introduce a whole new generation to the amazing world of #JUMANJI. *(for the record we are NOT making a reboot, but rather a continuation of the awesome JUMANJI story). It’s also crazy to me how much me, Kev and Jack look like triplets when we’re together. ??????. Man this is gonna be FUN. #WheelsUp #ThatsAWrap #FromFastAndFurious #StraightIntoJumanji #BigBrownBaldTattooedMan #DarkChocolateComedicRockStar #BrillaintCrazyCurvyCaucasion #TheseHashtagsAreRidiculous #INeedSleepAndCARBS #ButIWillSettleForTequila

“And now in two weeks I’ll reunite with ol’ friends Kevin Hart & Jack Black and we have the honor to introduce a whole new generation to the amazing world of #JUMANJI,” shared Johnson on his current schedule. “For the record we are NOT making a reboot, but rather a continuation of the awesome JUMANJI story.”

There you go, it is not a reboot. This is probably good news for everyone who was worried that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was going to replace Robin Williams in the next Juamnji movie. But, what do you imagine is in store for The Rock’s Jumanji when it hits theaters? Until then all we can do is wait and see.
