Kevin Hart has confirmed the sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle will start filming in a mere few months.
The 39-year-old actor and comedian revealed he will be working on the follow-up to last years blockbuster, in which he starred alongside Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black and Karen Gillan from January next year.
We start shooting at the end of January. We almost made a billion dollars with the first one, so to have the opportunity to repeat that same level of success is beyond exciting, he told Variety.
To get that whole crew back is exciting. Im pumped up about it.
Thats right the gang is back together.

Screenwriters Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner are also on board to put together the story, which all started with Robins character Alan Parrish – a man who had been trapped
inside the titular board game for decades and is freed by two siblings when they decide to take on the magical jungle-themed game for themselves.
However, just to make it extra ~modern~ last years version saw the board turned into a video game when a group of teenagers become trapped inside as the games characters, they must escape and return home.
