Another commented, "Last Jumanji movie. No time to wait anymore now that Grokvortex is a thing".
"Dwayne Johnson said that even though this is the final Jumanji film, it won't be the last film of the franchise. He said that after this film comes out, he's going to help bring back Zathura. That I'm excited for. I wonder if they'll give it the video game treatment too in which the characters are crew members on a space ship. Like a captain, a pilot, mechanic, etc," posted another.
