Alex sets the game aside. That night, it transforms into a video game cartridge which catches Alex 's attention when he is awakened by the Jumanji drums and he is transported into the game. Twenty years later, in 2016, four Brantford High School students serve detention : Spencer Gilpin, caught writing an essay for former friend Anthony `` Fridge '' Johnson ( also in detention ) ; Bethany Walker, who made a video call during an English - class quiz and Martha Kaply, who refused to participate in gym class. They are sent to the school basement to prepare magazines for recycling and to think about their future. Fridge discovers Alex 's discarded video - game system when he explores the basement, and he and Spencer set up the game. Although it has five playable characters, the first one can not be selected. Spencer and Fridge choose two characters, and the girls choose their own. When Spencer presses `` Start '', they are transported into the game. They are in a jungle, in the forms of their game avatars. Spencer is tough, muscular explorer and archaeologist Smolder Bravestone ; Fridge is diminutive zoologist Franklin `` Mouse '' Finbar, whom he chose after misreading `` Mouse '' as `` Moose '' ; Bethany is chubby male cartographer and intellectual Sheldon `` Shelly '' Oberon ( whose nickname she mistook for a woman 's ), and Martha is beautiful commando and martial arts expert Ruby Roundhouse. They each have three lives ; Spencer thinks that if they lose all three, they really die. They learn the game 's story from NPC Nigel : Corrupt Russel Van Pelt stole the Jaguar 's Eye ( a magic jewel ), cursing Jumanji. Nigel escaped Van Pelt with the jewel, and the players must return it to a jaguar statue and call `` Jumanji '' to lift the curse. Nigel warns them that Van Pelt will stop at nothing to retrieve the jewel, which gives him control of Jumanji 's animals. They begin tackling the game 's increasingly - difficult `` levels '', losing lives as they do so. The four are rescued by Alex ( the missing fifth player, whose avatar is pilot Jefferson `` Seaplane '' McDonough ). Taking shelter in a jungle house built by Alan Parrish, Alex believes that he has been in the game for a few months and is distressed to learn that it is really twenty years. The newcomers vow to help him return home. They break into a transportation shed, commandeering a helicopter to fly to the jaguar statue and return the jewel, but Fridge drops the jewel into a herd of white rhinoceros. Spencer uses one of Fridge 's lives, pushing him out of the helicopter as a distraction, and retrieves the jewel. Alex loses his last life when a mosquito bites him, but Bethany performs CPR and transfers one of her lives to him. At the statue, the players are surrounded by a pack of jaguars and Van Pelt 's forces. They outmaneuver their opposition while Spencer and Martha race to the statue. Van Pelt confronts Martha ( trapped in a pit of venomous snakes ) and demands the jewel, but she sacrifices one of her lives to re-spawn and get it to Spencer. With the players on their last lives, they end the game with Van Pelt disintegrating into a bunch of rats and return to the real world ; Nigel bids them farewell, but Alex does not appear with them. They find the formerly - dilapidated Vreeke home restored and decorated for a Christmas family gathering. An adult Alex arrives, returning to where he left off in 1996. Now married with children, he named his eldest daughter after Bethany out of gratitude for saving his life and introduces them to his infant son, Andy. Spencer and Fridge reconcile, Bethany begins caring for others than herself and plans a summer backpacking adventure, Martha and Spencer become romantically involved and the four are now friends after their experiences in the game. When they hear Jumanji 's drumbeats, they bring the game behind the school and Fridge destroys it with a bowling ball ( found in detention ) to prevent anyone from playing it again. Cast Dwayne Johnson as Dr. Smolder Bravestone, an Indiana Jones - like archaeologist and explorer who is Spencer 's avatar. Bravestone 's strengths are stamina, courage, reflexes, climbing, smoldering intensity, and boomerang throwing. Being the archetypically masculine, intelligent, and courageous video game hero of the story, he apparently has no weaknesses. He is credited as `` Spencer ''. Alex Wolff as Spencer Gilpin, a nerdy gamer at Brantford High School who goes to detention with Fridge, Martha, and Bethany, for writing Fridge 's homework for him. Spencer is panphobic ; he fears everything or nothing. His experience as Smolder Bravestone helps him cope with his anxiety and becomes assertive. He later becomes Martha 's love interest. He is credited as `` Young Spencer ''. Jack Black as Professor Sheldon `` Shelly '' Oberon, a cartographer, cryptographer, archaeologist, and paleontologist who is Bethany 's avatar after mistaking the character 's presented name ( `` Shelly '' ) for that of a woman and calling him, `` the curvy genius. '' Though Oberon 's strengths are his fields of his expertise, because of his state of being as an `` overweight, middle - aged man '', Oberon lacks endurance. He / she is credited as `` Bethany ''. Madison Iseman as Bethany Walker, a pretty and popular yet narcissistic and self - centered teenage girl at Brantford High School who goes to detention with Spencer, Fridge, and Martha, after talking on her phone during a quiz and displaying an arrogant contempt towards her class in the process. Her experience in the game changes her for the better, becoming apathetic with her smartphone, friendly, and seeks exciting interests. She is credited as `` Young Bethany ''. Kevin Hart as Franklin `` Mouse '' Finbar, a zoologist and weapons specialist whom Fridge chose as his avatar due to the character 's nickname being misread as `` Moose '' due to the game 's font. Finbar 's status as weapons specialist makes him Bravestone 's weapon valet, having everything Bravestone needs in his signature backpack. He is nicknamed `` Mouse '' for his short stature ; though this degrades him of speed and strength, he uses his nickname to rendezvous with the others in the climax of the film on the back of an elephant that was charging at him earlier. Cake makes him explode, making it another weakness. He credited as `` Fridge ''. Ser'Darius Blain as Anthony `` Fridge '' Johnson, a Brantford High School football jock who lacks confidence to succeed academically, namely because he cares more with dating than studying. He is kicked off the football team and sent to detention for having Spencer write his essays for him ; he is the one who discovers the Jumanji video game, as well as the bowling ball he uses to destroy it. Because of his avatar is highly intelligent, Fridge gains confidence from being Finbar to succeed intellectually. He is credited as `` Young Fridge ''. Karen Gillan as Ruby Roundhouse, a Lara Croft - like commando, martial artist, and dance fighter who is Martha 's avatar ( after Martha was peer - pressured into playing with the others ). Roundhouse is proficient in karate, t'ai chi, aikido and dance fighting and is reputed as `` killer of men '' because of both her skills and attractiveness. Similar to Bravestone, Roundhouse is the archetypically intelligent, athletic, beautiful, and scantily clad video game heroine of the story, with her only weakness being venom, such as that found in various animals and vegetation in the game. She is credited as `` Martha ''. Morgan Turner as Martha Kaply, a teenage girl at Brantford High School who goes to detention with Spencer, Fridge, and Bethany, for objecting to physical education class and disregarding her teacher. She later becomes Spencer 's love - interest and gains appreciation with physical fitness after her experience as Ruby Roundhouse. She is credited as `` Young Martha ''. Nick Jonas as Jefferson `` Seaplane '' McDonough, Alex Vreeke 's avatar. McDonough is a mysterious guide, adventurer, and pilot in the game, who waits for and joins the other avatars as they attempt to escape Jumanji. McDonough 's strengths are piloting and making margaritas that `` Mouse '' / `` Fridge '' takes a liking to. His only weakness is mosquito bites, which is bad for him and all the more ironic since the jungle, being a tropical one, is teeming with mosquitoes. He is credited as `` Alex ''. During his twenty - year absence, only a few months have passed for him in the game world ; and in the meantime, he lives in a treehouse built and once occupied by Alan Parrish ( portrayed by Robin Williams and Adam Hann - Byrd in the 1995 film Jumanji ). Mason Guccione as Alex Vreeke, a teenage boy who played, and was trapped inside, the Jumanji video game for 20 years. He is credited as `` Young Alex ''. Colin Hanks portrays adult Alex Vreeke after he returns to 1996 and appears 20 years later, changing history as a result. Out of gratitude for Bethany saving his life, he named his eldest daughter after her. Jumanji Bobby Cannavale as Professor Russel Van Pelt, a corrupt explorer once partnered with Dr. Smolder Bravestone. He seeks to regain the `` Jaguar 's Eye '', whose power he is demonically possessed by. He is the boss of the film 's game scenario, despite acting more like a classical kingpin ; Jonathan Hyde played a different variant of the character in the original film. NPCs in the game include : Rhys Darby as Nigel Billingsley, the main NPC guide in the game. William Tokarsky as an NPC food trader at the place of his name in the credits : Bread / Cake vendor. Rohan Chand as the boy at Bazaar, a young NPC guide who leads Spencer, Fridge, Martha, and Bethany to the black mamba 's basket, which has the next clue. Reality Marc Evan Jackson as Principal Bentley, the principal who makes Spencer, Bethany, Fridge, and Martha clean up the basement as part of their detention. Sean Buxton as Alex 's Father / Jogger, who discovered the Jumanji game Tim Matheson as Older Alex 's Father ( Old Man Vreeke, uncredited ) ; his dialogues in the beginning of the film implies that he had witnessed his son being teleported to the game and was traumatized since. After Alex 's return to 1996 alters history, he is shown to be a happy family man and grandfather. Maribeth Monroe as Bethany Walker 's English teacher Missi Pyle as Coach Webb, Martha Kaply 's physical education ( PE ) instructor Production Development In July 2012, rumors emerged that a remake of the film Jumanji was being developed. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad said : `` We 're going to try and reimagine Jumanji and update it for the present. '' On August 1, 2012, it was confirmed that Matthew Tolmach would produce the new version, alongside William Teitler, who produced the original film. In August 2015, Sony Pictures Entertainment announced that they had scheduled the film for a December 25, 2016 release. Internet reception to this was negative, with some posters remarking that the announcement came too soon after the death of Robin Williams, who portrayed Alan Parrish from the original film, and had died in August 2014. The news was heavily criticized by Bradley Pierce, who played Peter Shepherd in the original Jumanji, as well as by E ! News, which stated that they felt that the remake was `` unnecessary and kind of insulting ''. On October 23, 2015, Scott Rosenberg was hired to rewrite the script for the film, whose production was a high priority for the studio. On January 14, 2016, Deadline reported that Jake Kasdan had been hired to direct, from a script by Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, based on a draft by original writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. On April 15, 2016, Variety reported that Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart were in early talks to star in the film, though both actors had other projects to shoot, which might have created schedule conflicts. Later in April, Johnson confirmed his casting through his Instagram account. In July 2016, it was reported that Nick Jonas had joined the film 's cast, along with the confirmed casting of Johnson, Hart, and Jack Black. In August 2016, Johnson clarified that the film would not be a reboot, but a continuation of the 1995 film, while Karen Gillan was also announced as having been cast. On September 20, 2016, Ser'Darius Blain and Madison Iseman were cast in the film, with Blain playing Anthony `` Fridge '' Johnson and Iseman playing Bethany Walker. Following them, on September 22, 2016, Rhys Darby, Morgan Turner, and Alex Wolff joined the cast, with Darby playing Nigel Billingsley, Turner playing Martha Kaply, and Wolff playing Spencer Gilpin. In November 2016, Bobby Cannavale announced his casting in the film, and in December 2016, Tim Matheson also joined the cast, playing Old Man Vreeke. James Newton Howard was originally attached to compose the film 's score ; after the film 's release date was pushed back half a year, he was replaced by Henry Jackman. In March 2017, during CinemaCon, it was announced that the complete title of the film is Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle. The plot was revealed to involve teenagers cleaning out a school 's basement who find a vintage video game version of Jumanji, and get sucked into the jungle setting of the first film.

Filming Principal photography began on September 19, 2016, in Honolulu, Hawaii, primarily taking place in the Kualoa Ranch private nature reserve.

David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a `` C '' and called it unnecessary but mildly amusing : `` Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle is further proof that even the stalest whiff of brand recognition has become preferable to originality. Only part of the blame for that belongs to the studios but after cannibalizing themselves for much of the last 20 years, Hollywood has clearly eaten their way down to the crumbs ''. Writing for Variety, Owen Gleiberman was critical of the film saying `` Excitement ! Suspense ! Childlike innocence ! Ingeniously staged action set pieces ! These are a few of the things you will not find, anywhere, in Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle... It 's supposed to be a board game come to life but really, it 's just a bored game.
