There are still quite a lot of blockbusters set to hit the big screen later this year, including Jumanji: The Next Level. The highly-anticipated threequel will follow a brand-new adventure set in the bizarre and hilarious video game world, and now we have our latest look at what the film will entail. A new international trailer has made the rounds online, which features bits and pieces of new footage from the film. You can check it out above.

The film follows the runaway success of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which grossed nearly a billion dollars at the worldwide box office when it debuted in 2017. Returning from that film are Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Jack Black, who will play the game's four main avatars. As the first trailer showed earlier this year, there will be a bit of a new take on who is embodying which avatar, as Eddie (Danny DeVito) will be played by Johnson and Bethany Walker (Madison Iseman) will be played by a horse.

Also returning from Welcome to the Jungle are Nick Jonas, Rhys Darby, and the film's teenage cast members. Newcomers joining the cast include Awkwafina, Danny DeVito, and Danny Glover.

"From Awkwafina to Danny DeVito to now one of my action heroes, Danny Glover — it's been awesome having so many actors and OG legends raise their hands wanting to come and play in our Jumanji universe," Johnson previously told The Hollywood Reporter. "'Who turns into who?' will always be the fun magic sauce for our audience."

Also returning is director Jake Kasdan, who is working with a script from Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner. Last year, Kasdan spoke about his love for this revitalized franchise, and seems to be very excited about what's to come with the next installment.

"It's a big part of what we've all loved about that story and that movie was that it was this big fantasy that has kind of like a real kind of like strong, emotional center to it, and I do think that's a big part of what DJ responded to about it in the first place, and I know it's a big part of what I loved about it," Kasdan said. "So part of the challenge of figuring out how it continues is to keep that alive in ways that feel earned and, you know, like a true continuation of the story."
