JumanjiThe Next Level 2019
Jumanji: The Next Level is a 2019 American fantasy adventure comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan and co-written by Kasdan, Jeff Pinkner, and Scott Rosenberg. It is a sequel to 2017's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, is the second follow-up to 1995's Jumanji, and is the fourth installment in the Jumanji franchise. It stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff, Morgan Turner, Ser'Darius Blain, and Madison Iseman reprising their roles from the previous film, while Awkwafina, Rory McCann, Danny Glover, and Danny DeVito also join the cast. The film's plot takes place three years after Welcome to the Jungle, in which the same group of teenagers, along with an old friend and two unwitting additions, become trapped in Jumanji. There, they all find themselves facing new problems and challenges with both old and new avatars, while having to save the land from a new villain in order to escape.
Principal photography took place during 2019, between January 21 to May 11 in locations including Atlanta, New Mexico, Alberta, and Hawaii, with much of the cast consisting of those from the previous film reprising their original roles for the sequel.
Jumanji: The Next Level was theatrically released in the United States on December 13, 2019, by Sony Pictures Releasing, under its Columbia Pictures label. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $796.6 million worldwide against a $125 million budget, becoming the tenth highest-grossing film of 2019. A sequel is in development.
In 2019, three years after their adventure in Jumanji, Spencer Gilpin, Anthony "Fridge" Johnson, Martha Kaply, and Bethany Walker lead different lives, but plan a reunion brunch in Brantford, New Hampshire, that year. Spencer, apprehensive of the meeting due to depression, contemplates returning to Jumanji where he had purpose, and spends his first night looking over the broken video-game system he held onto. The following day, his friends visit his home, meeting with Spencer's grandfather Eddie, who is recovering from hip surgery, and Eddie's former friend and business partner Milo Walker, who is visiting for an unknown reason. Learning that they have no idea where Spencer is, the group searches the house and finds the Jumanji game partially repaired in the basement. Realizing Spencer returned to the game, his friends decide to follow him.
The game malfunctions when starting up, drawing in Fridge, Martha, Eddie and Milo, leaving Bethany and forcing her to contact fellow Jumanji alumnus Alex Vreeke for help. Inside the game, Martha finds herself as her avatar Ruby Roundhouse, yet Fridge becomes Bethany's avatar Professor Sheldon Oberon, while Eddie and Milo become avatars Dr. Smolder Bravestone and Franklin "Mouse" Finbar respectively. After instructing Eddie and Milo on the game's rules, the group encounters non-player character Nigel Billingsley, the game's guide, who reveals that since its last use, Jumanji is suffering from a massive drought. To leave the game, Nigel reveals that the group must recover the "Falcon Jewel" – a magical necklace stolen by warlord Jurgen the Brutal – which can end the drought if brought before sunlight and uttering "Jumanji".
Transported to a desert called the Dunes to track down Jurgen, and after narrowly escaping a flock of pursuing ostriches, the group encounters Spencer operating as skilled thief Ming Fleetfoot, a new avatar, who agrees to help them after blaming himself for their predicament. While attempting to escape the Dunes, the group faces new challenges and problems, along with collecting an in-game item called a Jumanji Berry, and discovering a pool of glowing green water that allows them to switch avatars. In the process, Eddie bickers with Milo, revealing their friendship ended when a diner they owned was sold behind Eddie's back, forcing him into retirement. During their argument Eddie realises that Milo is terminally ill and wanted to make amends before he died - the two reconcile their differences with Eddie saving Milo's life during a Mandrill attack. After the group crosses a series of rope bridges they are reunited with Alex, as his avatar Jefferson McDonough, and Bethany, operating a new avatar called Cyclone – a black horse that can only be understood by Finbar.
Working together, the party leaves the Dunes, and finds a river with the same glowing green water, allowing Spencer, Bethany, and Fridge to become their original avatars, while Eddie and Milo respectively end up as Ming and Cyclone. Shortly after changing characters, Jurgen's mercenaries capture Eddie and Milo. The group infiltrates Jurgen's fortress separately to rescue teammates and steal the Falcon Jewel. When the confrontation turns into a battle, Spencer pursues Jurgen to his airship, while the others distract his men. Finding himself unable to best Jurgen, Spencer discovers he is weak to the Jumanji Berry, incapacitating him long enough to send him plummeting to his death in the wintery fog below. Discovering Cyclone has retractable wings that allow him to fly, Eddie and Milo work together to rescue Spencer and bring the recovered Falcon's Heart to the sun, calling out "Jumanji" and ending the drought.
Returning the necklace to Nigel for safekeeping, the group is surprised when Milo elects to stay behind and protect the land. Upon returning to the real world, Spencer decides to teach his grandfather about video games, while Eddie uses what he learned in the game to convince the owner of his old diner to hire him on as a manager, with his grandson and his friends turning up to enjoy a meal together.
In a mid-credits scene, the heating mechanic who Spencer's mother hired finally shows up, only to be drawn to the game, while Spencer and the others are surprised to witness a flock of ostriches rush past the diner.
Cast :
Dwayne Johnson as Dr. Xander "Smolder" Bravestone: Eddie's avatar (Later Spencer's again) who, unlike previously, has a weakness: he cannot escape the wrath of Jumanji NPC Switchblade without dying.
Johnson also portrays Bravestone's father in a flashback scene in the film, where Zachary Tzegaegbe portrayed a young Bravestone while Jennifer Patino portrayed Bravestone's mother.
Jack Black as Professor Sheldon "Shelly" Oberon: Fridge's avatar (Later Martha's temporarily and Bethany's again) who develops a new skill (geometry) and three new weaknesses (heat, sun and sand; simply for comedic effect as the first level is in a desert).
Kevin Hart as Franklin "Mouse" Finbar: Milo's avatar (Later Fridge's again) who develops a new skill: linguistics - the ability to communicate with animals.
Karen Gillan as Ruby Roundhouse: Martha's avatar (and temporarily Fridge's) who gets a new skill: nunchuck mastery.
Nick Jonas as Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough: Alex's avatar who is an aircraft pilot.
Awkwafina as Ming Fleetfoot: Spencer's new avatar (Later Eddie's) whose character's background is a thief with skills in burglary, pick-pocketing and lock picking, and who has a weakness to pollen.
Rory McCann as Jurgen the Brutal: a new antagonist of Jumanji, whose backstory presents him as an iron-fisted and arrogant warlord, responsible for murdering Bravestone's parents years ago. Like the game avatars, he has a list of strengths and weaknesses.
Danny DeVito as Edward "Eddie" Gilpin: Spencer's grandfather. He is retired, following the sale of a diner he owned in Brantford, with little understanding of video games.
Danny Glover as Milo Walker: Eddie's estranged friend and diner co-owner, before its sale ended their friendship. Characters Milo Walker and Bethany Walker are not related.
Alex Wolff as Spencer Gilpin.
Morgan Turner as Martha Kaply.
Ser'Darius Blain as Anthony "Fridge" Johnson.
Madison Iseman as Bethany Walker.
Colin Hanks as Alex Vreeke.
Rhys Darby as Nigel Billingsley.
Bebe Neuwirth as Nora Shepherd
In addition, the film also cast a number of actors for supporting roles, which included: Dania Ramirez as Jumanji NPC Flame; Massi Furlan as Jumanji NPC Switchblade; John Ross Bowie as Cavendish, a minion of Jurgen; and Lamorne Morris as a heater repairman. Lucy DeVito portrays Maiden, while Marin Hinkle returned alongside returning cast members from Welcome to the Jungle to reprise her role as Mrs. Gilpin. Ashley Scott was originally intended to also appear as herself, but her scenes were later dropped from the final edit.[citation needed]
