The first puzzle lagger forJumanji 3has been revealed , and it contains a surprising , secret plan - changing twist for the continuation : Danny DeVito is The Rock ! Yes , the crux of the story ofJumanji : The Next Levelis that it convey two new player into the game , played by DeVito andDanny Glover , who are transformed into Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart severally .
It is , as you ’d require , utterly ridiculous , and yet also completely glorious . The trailer begins much like you ’d expect from the upcomingJumanjimovie , with the setup of the game ’s whereabouts and establishing the view for the role player to be sucked back in . Spencer has repaired Jumanji , unbeknown to his friend , and is take back inside it . Building on the somewhat unexpected succeeder of 2017’sJumanji : Welcome to the Jungle , it was anticipated thatJumanji 3would keep a similar status quoamong its core characters since the four primary cast members - Karen Gillan and Jack Black alongside Johnson and Hart - are all returning . It was knownDeVito would appear , but not quite in what electrical capacity .

We ’re introduce to DeVito as Eddie , the grandad of Spencer ( who reverse into The Rock ’s Dr. Smolder Bravestone in the previous movie ) . Alongside him is Glover as Eddie ’s friend , Milo Walker . The tyke go to the cellar , get give suck back into Jumanji , and all seems as you ’d think , until Bravestone start to talk , and it ’s revealed that Danny DeVito ’s character is now The Rock ’s , while Glover ’s has become Hart ’s Franklin " Mouse " Finbar . And from there , insanity ( and hilarity ) ensues .
Johnson and Hart have apparently been give free rein to impersonate DeVito and Glover as much as possible , which leads to a pair of impressions you never have a go at it you needed but do n’t want to forget . Although theJumanji 3twist is the kind of half - idea you could imagine being thrown out into a rake meeting as nothing more than a joke , it somehow really form here .
WhileJumanji : Welcome to the Junglewas salutary than most expect , there was very much a risk that the continuation would simply give up more of the same . Adding The Rock / DeVito and Hart / Glover into the mixing is on the face of it a masterstroke , designed to insure Jumanji : The Next Level does n’t feel moth-eaten . It ’s sure not a criticism you could level at theJumanji 3trailer , at any rate . It fuse up the dynamics of the group - aboard Black now being the embodiment of Fridge ( Ser’Darius Blain ) this time around , rather than Bethany ( Madison Iseman ) - and gives it a whole newfangled component , since the two older theatrical role have perfectly no thought what ’s going on .
adept of all , though , is that this is all clear done with a knowing wink . That ’s become a hallmark of Johnson ’s action mechanism movies , and is something he ’s keep open here . TheJumanji 3trailer only gets more bonkers once the turn is let on , with the splendid visual sense of RockVito & Co. being chased by an army of imp , but it ’s in the twist itself that the genius dwell . It undertake masses are pass to be talking aboutJumanji 3for starters , it live up to the promise ofThe Next Leveltitle and , well , The Rock is Danny DeVito , and Danny DeVito is The Rock .
