Cast of Jumanji 3: The Full Actor List, the Release Date and Who Plays Whom

Status Released since

Since Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

2y 2 years since the original

It exists, under a title that hides it: the third Jumanji film is Jumanji: The Next Level, released in December 2019, which is why searches for "Jumanji 3" so often come up empty. Danny DeVito and Awkwafina joined the returning cast.

EXT. JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL — NIGHT

The film exists, it just has no number in its title

The cast of Jumanji 3 is easy to find once you know the film is called Jumanji: The Next Level. It was released on 13 December 2019, directed by Jake Kasdan for Sony Pictures, two years after Welcome to the Jungle.

This is the single most common reason someone lands on a page like this and thinks the film was never made. Nothing in the title says three. The same thing happens across the sequel tracker — Beverly Hills Cop 4 is Axel F, Mission: Impossible 6 is Fallout — but it bites hardest here, because Jumanji has a second counting problem on top of it.

The counting problem, briefly

There are two reasonable ways to number these films, and they disagree:

  • Counting from 1995, The Next Level is the third Jumanji film.
  • Counting only the modern run with Dwayne Johnson, it is the second.

Most people searching for the cast of Jumanji 3 mean The Next Level, because that is the film that had a cast to announce. Anyone who means a fourth entry is asking about something that has not been dated.

The full cast of Jumanji 3: the actors, and who each one is playing

This is where a normal jumanji 3 cast list fails. A flat jumanji 3 cast table gives you six actors and six characters and hides the mechanism entirely. Knowing that Dwayne Johnson plays Dr Bravestone tells you almost nothing, because the interesting question is whose consciousness is inside Bravestone at the time, and in this film it changes.

The table above carries both columns: the avatar each actor plays, and the real-world character occupying it. The pairings that matter:

  • Dwayne Johnson is Bravestone, occupied first by Eddie (Danny DeVito) and later by Spencer. So Johnson is, for much of the film, doing an impression of Danny DeVito.
  • Kevin Hart is Mouse Finbar, occupied by Milo (Danny Glover), then by Fridge.
  • Awkwafina is Ming Fleetfoot, occupied by Spencer, then by Eddie.
  • Jack Black is Professor Oberon with Fridge inside, and Karen Gillan is Ruby Roundhouse with Martha inside.

That structure is why the full cast of Jumanji 3 needs twelve names rather than six: every avatar has a real-world counterpart, and both are performances.

Is there a Jumanji 3 sequel, meaning a fourth film?

A separate question, and one where “is there a jumanji 3” is genuinely ambiguous. The honest answer for a fourth film is that it has no date. The 2019 film ends on a setup, and interest has been expressed by people involved, but nothing this reference would treat as a commitment has been announced — no title, no cast, no calendar entry.

Anyone asking is there a Jumanji 3 in the sense of “another one after the last one” is therefore asking about an unannounced film, which is a different search from the one that brought most people here.

What the Jumanji 3 release date tells you about the series

The jumanji 3 release date is worth noting against the rest of this tracker. Two years between instalments is a studio treating a property as an active series rather than a revival, and it is the fastest turnaround among the completed entries here apart from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. For contrast, Beverly Hills Cop took thirty years to produce a fourth film, and Spaceballs will have taken thirty-nine when its sequel arrives in 2027.

A jumanji 3 release date arriving that quickly is the clearest possible signal that the 2017 film had worked. Whether a fourth follows on the same rhythm is a question the absence of any announcement answers reasonably clearly.

Questions about Jumanji: The Next Level

Is there a Jumanji 3?

Yes, and it has been out since December 2019: it is called Jumanji: The Next Level. The title contains no number, which is why searching for "Jumanji 3" so often looks as though the film does not exist.

Who is in the cast of Jumanji 3?

Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan return as the avatars, joined by Awkwafina, with Danny DeVito and Danny Glover added as Eddie and Milo. The full twelve-name billed cast, with the avatar pairings, is in the table above.

What is the Jumanji 3 release date?

13 December 2019 in the United States, from Sony Pictures, directed by Jake Kasdan. Two years after Welcome to the Jungle.

Who does Danny DeVito play?

Eddie Gilpin, Spencer's grandfather, in the real world. Inside the game his avatar is Dr Bravestone, so Dwayne Johnson spends much of the film playing Danny DeVito, which is the film's central joke and the thing the cast list exists to explain.

Who does Awkwafina play?

Ming Fleetfoot, an avatar occupied first by Spencer and later by Eddie. Awkwafina is the main cast addition to the sequel.

Is Jumanji 3 the same as Welcome to the Jungle?

No. Welcome to the Jungle (2017) is the second film in the modern run and the third overall counting the 1995 original; The Next Level (2019) is the one people mean by Jumanji 3. The counting is genuinely confusing, which is covered below.
