“Officially planting our Jumanji flag. On December 13th, 2019 - the game is not over. I hold Jumanji very close to my heart and I’m beyond grateful you made our movie into the global juggernaut ($1 billion plus) it became. Can’t wait for you to see what our new adventure and new characters have in store as Christmas comes early.”

“And once again, I get to slap Kevin Hart’s lips into next week. The world is happy. #FearTheDrums #TheGameIsNotOver #Jumanji December 13th, 2019,” Johnson wrote.
