And now, we can exclusively reveal a few other notable names that will join this motley bunch on their next adventure. One will be a newbie to Jumanji, and the other two are returning.
Bebe Neuwirth, who’s perhaps best known to the mainstream for her work on the beloved sitcom Frasier but is reknowned the world over for her work in theatre, will appear in Jumanji 3. As will New Girl‘s Lamorne Morris, and comedic character actor Rhys Darby- who has stolen scenes in films like Yes Man and What We Do In The Shadows.
Fans of the first Jumanji will remember that Neuwirth played Nora Shepard in the first film, back in 1995. Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle worked in a nod to the original, but having Neuwirth appear in this film in some capacity seems like a more definitive way to link these new movies to the one that started it all.
Yeah, out of any of the original cast that you could bring back, she's probably the least exciting character. Bonnie Hunt would have made more sense. Personally, I'd love to see the original Van Pelt again too.Odd that she would come back but not Bonnie Hunt who’s character would still remember her time in the game.

Karen Gillan was on this week's Jablinski video.

That pic could be an exact pic from the first movie.
Maybe that's the point, but not very exciting.
