The Rock’s ‘Jumanji 3’ Shifts Release Date, Hits Theatres After Avengers: Doomsday & Dune 3
Jumanji 3 has received a new release date.
According to Variety, Sony Pictures has moved the release date of the Dwayne Johnson “The Rock” and Kevin Hart-starrer threquel from December 11 to Christmas Day.
“The move strategically shifts ‘Jumanji 3’ to hit theaters after the launches of ‘Dune: Part Three’ and ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ on Dec. 18 — a box office collision colloquially called ‘Dunesday,'” Variety noted.
The previous installments in the Jumanji reboot — Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Jumanji: The Next Level — were both released in December. Together, the two films grossed over $1.7 billion at the box office.
The third installment in the reboot series stars Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan. Danny DeVito, Nick Jonas, Marin Hinkle, Bebe Neuwirth, Lamorne Morris, and Rhys Darby also return, with Dan Hildebrand and Jack Jewkes joining as new cast members.
The Rock reveals main challenge of live-action Maui costume in Moana
Dwayne Johnson is also set to reprise his role as Maui in the upcoming live-action remake of Moana. The trailer was released on Monday, giving fans their first look at the film.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Johnson and director Thomas Kail discussed the film, particularly the work that went into transforming Johnson into the real-life Maui, starting with the character’s iconic hair.
“The thing that became a challenge, that I had to work through very quickly, that I didn’t anticipate was the prosthetics and the hair and then the body. That is an additional 40 pounds on you,” The Rock said.
“There’s a freedom when you perform, whether it’s as an actor or singing. So that was an adjustment on how to actually work my emotions through the 40 pounds of prosthetics and hair and body that I had on me.”
The live-action Moana remake is set for a U.S. release on July 10, 2026.
