A Heartfelt Tribute on Social Media
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Johnson paid tribute to his co-star, marking both the end of DeVito’s filming and the commencement of the conclusion for this beloved adventure saga. Johnson expressed his admiration for DeVito, referring to him as a “friend” and a “legend,” thus elevating the wrap announcement beyond a mere formality.
“That’s an official wrap on my friend and the one and only legend, Danny DeVito,” Johnson wrote, reflecting on their shared experiences.

Principal photography for the film kicked off in November 2025, with DeVito finishing his scenes approximately three months into the production timeline. Johnson emphasized that this project will serve as the “final chapter” of the Jumanji saga, deeming it a “beautiful grace note” to the franchise.
In his announcement, Johnson hinted at the film’s likely title, often referred to as Jumanji: The Final Level, by including the hashtag #TheFinalLevel.

The upcoming film will reunite the primary cast, including Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan, alongside DeVito and the returning teenage ensemble from previous installments. Sony Pictures has set the theatrical release for December 11, 2026.
Additionally, the film is expected to pay homage to the late Robin Williams, who starred in the original 1995 Jumanji.
