Jumanji: The Next Level Cast & Character Guide

The Jumanji: The Next Level cast is filled with top-tier actors and actresses, some of whom appeared in the last film and some who are new to the franchise. The third Jumanji movie is directed by Jake Kasdan and takes fan-favorite characters on another rip-roaring adventure in Jumanji as they face unknown dangers to rescue a friend.

The popular franchise is based on the two books, Jumanji and Zathura, which was written by award-winning children’s book author Chris Van Allsburg. These highly imaginative classics resulted in the creation of the films Jumanji (1995), Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005), Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) and now Jumanji: The Next Level (2019). But the latter two movies have taken on a life of their own by leaving the books behind.

Key members of the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle cast have returned for Jumanji: The Next Level along with some new additions this time around. Some of the biggest names in Hollywood are on board to make this the best installment yet. Here’s everyone on the Jumanji: The Next Level cast.
