The highly anticipated third and final installment of the iconic “Jumanji” franchise has officially kicked off its production.

Hollywood action superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson confirmed the news through social media, revealing that filming for the much-awaited conclusion is now underway in Los Angeles.

This marks a significant shift in the series’ filming locations, as it is the first time a Jumanji film is being shot in Los Angeles.

The previous installments of the franchise were filmed in Hawaii and Atlanta, but now, with the final chapter, the team has brought the adventure to the bustling heart of Hollywood.

Returning to the big screen alongside The Rock are the franchise’s familiar stars: Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan, all reprising their iconic roles.

Fans can expect the same chemistry and excitement from the beloved cast as they face new challenges in the world of Jumanji.

The direction of the film has once again been entrusted to Jake Kasdan, who successfully helmed the first two movies, “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” (2017) and “Jumanji: The Next Level” (2019).

Kasdan’s experience with the franchise has made him the perfect fit to conclude this thrilling adventure with the same level of excitement and heart that audiences have come to expect.

To mark the beginning of the shoot, Dwayne Johnson shared exclusive behind-the-scenes photos on his Instagram account, featuring the full cast together on set.

In a heartfelt caption, he expressed his excitement, stating, “The official production of Jumanji has started in Los Angeles. This journey has been incredibly enjoyable and deeply personal for us. The final chapter of Jumanji feels like a beautiful conclusion. It’s been a joy to work with the team again. We laughed so much, and we all realized how much we missed that fun and humor. Now, it’s time to create the best movie ever.”

The upcoming film is expected to be a spectacular conclusion to the highly successful Jumanji franchise, which has captivated audiences worldwide, grossing billions of dollars at the box office. With the combined talents of the cast and crew, this final chapter promises to be an unforgettable adventure for fans of all ages.
