Jack Black will play a teenage girl in the fantasy continuation
The first footage of the Jumanji continuation (it's not a remake) starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, now titled Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, has been unveiled.
A sizzle reel was shown to an audience assembled at Sony's CinemaCon presentation on Monday evening (27 March), attended by Johnson and his co-stars Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas and Jack Black.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the "crowdpleasing" clip shown to the audience followed four high-schoolers in detention who, after being ordered to clear out the school basement, discover a video game console featuring a version of the game Jumanji.
After picking a character, you're transported to the jungle meaning the main cast are playing different version of high-school students (a teenage girl ends up as a character played by Jack Black).
Following the release of the first Jumanji still, many criticised the skimpy costume worn by former Doctor Who actor Gillan, however Johnson - who will next be seen Fast & Furious 8 and Baywatch - assured fans there was a good reason for the outfit.
The original Jumanji, released in 1996, was directed by Joe Johnston and starred Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt in the lead roles.
The first Jumanji 2 footage actually went down pretty well
