Alex sets the game aside, asking himself, `` Who plays board games anymore ? '' That night, the game, taking advantage of Alex 's interest in video games, magically transforms into a video game cartridge which catches Alex 's attention when he is awakened by the Jumanji drums. As he plays it, he is teleported into the game. Twenty years later in 2016, four students in Brantford High School are placed in detention together : Spencer Gilpin, who was caught writing an essay for his former friend, Anthony `` Fridge '' Johnson, who is there for the same reason and has been kicked off the football team ; Bethany Walker, who made a video call during an English class quiz and barely missed talking her way out of it ; and Martha Kaply, who refused to participate in P.E. class and accidentally insulted her instructor. Their principal punishes them by sending them to the school basement to prepare magazines for recycling, as an opportunity for them to think about their future. Upon exploring the basement, Fridge discovers Alex 's discarded video game system with the Jumanji cartridge ; Spencer and Fridge set up the game out of curiosity. The game presents five possible playable characters, but the first one is unable to be selected. Spencer and Fridge end up selecting two of the remaining characters, and the girls are also persuaded to choose their own characters. When Spencer hits `` Start '', the four are sucked into the game. They find themselves in a jungle, each now in the forms of their game avatars. Spencer is a tough, muscular explorer and archaeologist named Dr. Smolder Bravestone ; Fridge is a diminutive zoologist named Franklin `` Mouse '' Finbar, whom he had selected upon misreading the name as `` Moose '' ( it later causes tension as Fridge 's character is designed as a valet for Spencer 's ) ; Bethany is an overweight male cartographer and intellectual named Professor Sheldon `` Shelly '' Oberon, whose nickname she mistook for a woman 's ; and Martha is a gorgeous commando and martial arts expert named Ruby Roundhouse. They soon realize that they each have three lives, and Spencer speculates that if they lose all three, they die for real. Each of them also has special skills and weaknesses. They learn the game 's story from Nigel, an NPC guide : power - corrupted Professor Russel Van Pelt stole the `` Jaguar 's Eye '', a magical jewel, cursing the land of Jumanji. Nigel escaped from Van Pelt with the jewel, and the players must now return it to its proper place in the eye socket of an enormous jaguar statue and call out `` Jumanji '' ( possibly the only remnant of Jumanji 's board game origins ) to lift the curse. Before departing, Nigel warns them that Van Pelt will stop at nothing to retrieve the jewel, which gives him control over Jumanji 's animals. The group begins to tackle the game 's increasingly difficult `` levels '', losing lives periodically as they do so. When the group is cornered by Van Pelt 's men at a bazaar, they are rescued by Alex, the missing fifth player, whose avatar is a pilot named Jefferson `` Seaplane '' McDonough. Having taken shelter in a jungle house built by Alan Parrish, Alex believes that he has only been gone for three months, and is distressed to learn of his twenty years of absence. The newcomers vow to help him return home. Working together, the group breaks into a transportation shed, commandeering a helicopter to fly to the jaguar statue and return the jewel, but Fridge accidentally drops the jewel into a herd of white rhinoceros. Spencer sacrifices one of Fridge 's lives by pushing him out of the helicopter as a distraction, and manages to secure the jewel. Upon landing, Alex loses his last life when a mosquito bites him, but Bethany performs CPR and saves him by transferring one of her lives to him. Arriving at the statue, the players find themselves facing a pack of jaguars on one side and Van Pelt 's forces on the other. Using their resources and teamwork, the players 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 respawn strategically to get the jewel to Spencer. With all players on their last life, they end the game ( with Van Pelt disintegrating into a crowd of rats ), and return to the real world ( courtesy of shaking hands with Nigel, who gives them fond farewells ), though Alex does not appear with them. On their way to the Vreeke household ( formerly the dilapidated home of Alex 's father, `` Old Man '' Vreeke ), they discover it to be restored and decorated for a Christmas family gathering. An adult Alex arrives, having returned to where he left off in 1996 and changing the course of history. He is now married with children and named his eldest daughter after Bethany out of gratitude for saving his life. He also introduces the four to his infant son Andy. Spencer and Fridge reconcile, Bethany evolves to care for others than herself and makes plans for a summer backpacking adventure, Martha and Spencer become romantically involved ( the end of the film sees them sharing a kiss ), and the teens are now friends after their experiences in the game. The four hear Jumanji 's drumbeats and take the game behind the school where Fridge destroys it with a bowling ball they found in detention to prevent anyone from playing it again. Cast 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 ''. Dwayne Johnson as Dr. Smolder Bravestone, an 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 ''. 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 ''. 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. '' Because of his state of being as an `` overweight, middle - aged man '', Oberon lacks endurance. He / she is credited as `` Bethany ''. 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 ''. 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 earns the nickname `` Mouse '' from his short stature ; though this degrades his speed and strength, Fridge uses the nickname to his advantage to rendezvous with the others in the climax on the back of an elephant that was charging at him earlier. Cake makes him explode, losing a life. In better comparison to Oberon rather than Fridge, despite his size, Finbar is intelligent with his strengths as his fields of expertise. He is credited as `` Fridge ''. 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 ''. Karen Gillan as Ruby Roundhouse, a 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 ''. 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. 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 ). Jumanji Bobby Cannavale as Professor Russel Van Pelt, a corrupt explorer once partnered with Dr. Smolder Bravestone, seeking to control the `` Jaguar 's Eye '', whose power he is demonically possessed by. Despite being the `` boss '' of the film 's video game scenario, he is more relatable to classic kingpin villains ; still, 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. While many fans theorized whether the film was a sequel or a reboot, the second trailer, which was released on September 20, 2017, revealed that the film takes place over twenty - one years after the events of the first. 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.

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 ''.
