Fans of the iconic yet deadly game will soon have to say goodbye to their favorite heroes as the adventure franchise reaches its conclusion with the final chapter of the new trilogy. Jumanji: Open World is set to hit theaters later this year.
RBC-Ukraine shares what we know about the upcoming movie.
What is the new Jumanji about?
This time, the game that once pulled its players into its dangerous world does the opposite: it escapes the console and spills into the real world. As the magical rules of Jumanji begin affecting everyday life, the heroes must figure out how to restore order.
One of the funniest twists involves the avatars. After entering the real world, they appear to be stuck in demo mode, causing them to behave in unexpected ways. For example, Dwayne Johnson's character suddenly starts speaking Spanish.
Audiences can expect another action-packed adventure as the characters struggle not only with new dangers but also with their lingering in-game quirks. The filmmakers also promise an ending that will be both exciting and emotional.
