When Johnson was announced as the lead of Jake Kasdan's Jumanji reboot, fans were convinced of something big and happening coming their way. Needless to say, they weren't disappointed. While the sequel to Johnson's Jumanji was released within a gap of two years, its next outing, though in development will take more time. Jumanji: The Next Level: Explained!
