There are no hints about plot specifics for Jumanji 4 yet, but the basic premise of the upcoming movie is easy to establish. The original Jumanji movie was directed by Joe Johnston and starred Robin Williams as Alan Parrish, who discovers a strange-looking board game and is pulled into a terrifying jungle world after a bad roll. Jake Kasdan’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle updated this premise by turning Jumanji into a video game.
Jumanji: The Next Level’s mid-credits scene provides a clear setup for Jumanji 4 as the game releases some of the jungle’s animals into the real world. This last part is particularly interesting, since if animals have escaped the game then the characters can too — including the avatars. Dwayne Johnson had plans for the franchise in the third movie as he teased that Jumanji: The Next Level’s villainous Jurgen the Brutal was an avatar, and the true villain behind him would be revealed in Jumanji 4
