Despite the franchise being dormant for more than 20 years, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle completely revived the concept of characters getting sucked into the world of their favorite game, leading that movie to become one of the biggest hits of 2017. While last year’s Jumanji: The Next Level brought Danny Glover and Danny DeVito into the mix, the film wouldn’t have been the same without the returns of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan. Check out an exclusive featurette below celebrating the reunion of the last film’s cast and grab your copy of Jumanji: The Next Level on Digital HD on March 3rd and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD March 17th.

Jumanji: The Next Level catches up with Spencer (Alex Wolff), Fridge (Ser’Darius Blain), Martha (Morgan Turner), and Bethany (Madison Iseman) three years after their first adventure in Jumanji’s mystical video game world. When Spencer goes missing inside the game ahead of the group’s planned reunion from college, his friends, along with his grandfather (DeVito) and his grandfather’s friend (Glover), once again inhabit the avatars of Dr. Bravestone (Johnson), “Mouse” Finbar (Hart), Professor Sheldon Oberon (Black), and Ruby Roundhouse (Gillan) to rescue him. As they return to Jumanji, they discover that nothing is as they expect. With more action and surprises, the players will have to brave parts unknown and unexplored, from the arid deserts to the snowy mountains, in order to escape.
