Jumanji fans rejoice — Bravestone, Oberon, Finbar and Roundhouse are all back and this time they're in the real world. Jumanji: Open World brings that classic Jumanji mayhem out of the console in a way that hearkens back to the original Robin Williams classic.
It's been a hot minute since the last Jumanji outing, which ended with the main characters watching as the animals of Jumanji ran riot on the streets of Brantford. Now, the chaos seems to have been stepped up a notch as the characters have to contend with threats both inside the world of Jumanji and back at home.
And with the whole gang back, including Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan, Open World promises a particularly wild adventure.
Jumanji has long been one of those sleeper franchises that provides consistently solid and reliable family fun, which has translated to big numbers at the box-office. A combination of a charming comedic cast and a fun twist on the original film's classic premise, the first two video game-focused Jumanji films were both pleasant surprises for fans of the 1995 original.
Now, after a six year wait, we're heading back to Jumanji for another adventure.
Read on to find out all you need to know about how and where to watch the latest Jumanji outing.

Jumanji: Open World plot – what is the film about?
Open World picks up right where The Next Level ends with the characters and animals from inside the Jumanji game having burst out of the console and into the real world. And to add insult to injury - in many cases literal injury - the heroic Dr. Xander Bravestone, Professor Sheldon Oberon, Franklin Finbar and Ruby Roundhouse are all stuck in something called 'demo mode', which we're sure will make solving this whole situation easier.
