“Have I died? Is this hell?”

Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we’re taking a sneak peek at the brand new trailer for Jumanji: The Next Level.

Plot’s it all about? After 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle became a surprise box office hit, making over $960 million worldwide, it came as no surprise that the sequel would be fast-tracked.

So here we are, with The Next Level set to arrive practically two years to the day from that first rebootquel, with all of the original leading cast members back, as well as that movie’s director, but with some brilliant new additions, including Danny DeVito, Danny Glover, and Awkwafina.

This time, The Rock and Kevin Hart are no longer channeling hormonal teenagers, but two old men who believe that the Jumanji video-game they’re stuck in is actually a part of the afterlife.

So, yes, The Rock is pretending to be Danny DeVito.

We’re 100% here for this, as we’ve already LOL’d more than once at the trailer.

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Danny DeVito, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, Danny Glover, Nick Jonas

Directed by: Jake Kasdan

Irish release date: Friday 13 December

Enjoy!
