Dwayne Johnson Confirms Jumanji 3 Filming Starts November with Kevin Hart

Dwayne Johnson has confirmed that filming for Jumanji 3 will begin in November, reuniting him with Kevin Hart as they continue the successful franchise that began with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019). Johnson expressed his love for his past films and eagerness to revisit such projects, promising another round of adventure and comedy. Alongside this blockbuster, Johnson is preparing for a transformative role in Lizard Music, where he will portray an eccentric 70-something-year-old character named Chicken Man, requiring a significant lifestyle change including weight loss after gaining muscle for another film, The Smashing Machine. He reflected on feeling pigeonholed in his career as an action hero but sees these new roles as opportunities to explore diverse characters and redefine his acting path. Despite his focus on transformative roles, Johnson emphasized his commitment to continue appearing in large-scale blockbusters. This balance highlights his evolving career strategy as he embraces both commercial success and artistic challenges.
