Jumanji 3 Gets a 2026 Holiday Release Date but Seemingly Without THIS Major Actor

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that Jumanji 3 has finally set a release date! Yet, there’s a bittersweet piece of news – one major figure from our beloved franchise is saying goodbye. According to the latest updates, Jack Black won’t be joining us for Jumaji 3, which feels like a departure indeed.

As stated by Discussing Films, the third installment of the popular action-adventure series is set to hit theaters on December 11, 2026. Unfortunately, the departure of the actor known for his role in School of Rock has left many fans feeling disappointed.

News emerged that Jack Black will no longer be part of the upcoming installment of the Jumanji series, as revealed during his conversation with Deadline. Even he seemed taken aback by the latest developments regarding the film’s continuation.

According to the news, the actor who played the star in King Kong found it hard to accept that the film was really going ahead, given that it had been postponed multiple times due to the pandemic, labor disputes, and scheduling issues among the stars, which ultimately moved the project several years back.

When asked about appearing in the next Jumanji, the multi-talented individual – who is equally known for his acting skills and rock music prowess – replied with a hint of optimism, “Perhaps it will happen. I certainly hope so.

In addition, he discussed his retirement, expressing that he believes he has completed his final film and is confident in his retirement. He mentioned that unless someone coaxes him back, he considers himself retired, but he’s grateful for the fantastic journey he’s had.

According to MovieWeb, Jack Black had mentioned that he originally intended to retire in 2019, implying that “Jumanji: The Next Level” might be his final movie.

In the movie, the actor portrayed Professor Shelly Oberon, a brilliant character with a more voluptuous figure, as depicted.

For anyone concerned that this might be their final chance to see him on-screen, take comfort in the fact that the same actor will appear in an upcoming Minecraft film and a modern adaptation of Anaconda as well.
