![]() ![]() What about the fact that the teens destroyed the Jumanji game, you ask? Welcome to the Jungle closes that plot hole effectively in the opening of the film. It's actually a pretty genius concept for an action movie franchise. ![]() For his part, Johnson has never shied away from a franchise - he's already got his own Fast & Furious spin-off in the works - and the narrative decision to make the major stars of the film (Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, and Nick Jonas) avatars in a video game means they could return as stand-ins for completely different characters, offering brand new stories at every turn. ![]() As Forbes pointed out, Sony could use a successful franchise to battle the surge of superhero films from other studios and recent flops of their own. ![]() Though plans for a Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle sequel have not yet been confirmed, it's easy to see that Sony and star Dwayne Johnson, who also worked as executive producer on the film, are hoping to spark a new franchise. The film ends with the group smashing the entire game and console with a bowling ball and leaving the scraps by a dumpster in an ally behind the school. And not only do the teenagers making it out of their virtual prison (this new version of Jumanji is a video game, not a board game), but they also destroy it once and for all. Following in the footsteps of the original film, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle ends with our heroes - Spencer, Fridge, Bethany, Martha, and Alex - winning Jumanji and being let out of the game. So, why doesn't Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle have a post-credits scene and what does it mean for a possible sequel? As we've learned before, the presence of a post-credits scene doesn't guarantee a follow-up film, and the absence of one doesn't mean a second movie is dead on arrival. Surprisingly, the Jumanji post-credits scene doesn't exist, but that doesn't mean a sequel is entirely out of the question. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle might be a spiritual sequel to the beloved 1995 Robin Williams classic Jumanji, but it's clear to even the most casual movie-goer that the new film is attempting to launch its own franchise. ![]()
