The cast of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle are currently in production for the film’s sequel, and the actors have been sharing tons of behind the scenes content for fans to enjoy. The latest post comes from Kevin Hart, who will be reprising his role as the avatar, Franklin Finbar, in the upcoming film.
“Just hanging,” the actor wrote. It looks like his character is going to have to experience one of those classic dangerous/unstable bridge scenes that has become a staple in the adventure genre.
