Nick Jonas Confirms He's Returning for 'Jumanji' Sequel and 'Couldn't Be More Excited'
The actor shared the news on social media on Wednesday.
Nick Jonas is headed back to the wild jungle for the upcoming sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
The 26-year-old recently married actor announced the news to social media on Wednesday, posting a clip of his character from the 2017 blockbuster donning sunglasses like a seasoned action hero.
"Guess who’s back... Let’s go people!" Jonas wrote. "The #Jumanji sequel is on the way and I couldn’t be more excited to bring Alex back to the big screen."
In Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Jonas played Alex, a teenager who has been stuck inside the Jumanji game -- in the guise of his digital avatar Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough -- for decades, which served as a thematic nod to Robin Williams' character, Alan Parrish, from the original film.
In fact, as the new Jumanji was technically a sequel and only a partial reboot, Alex had, in fact, been living in a hideout Alan had made during his earlier time in the game's deadly world.
Jonas joins returning co-stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black, as well as newcomers Awkwafina, Danny Glover and Danny DeVito.
The upcoming yet-untitled sequel is slated to swing into theaters Dec. 13. Check out the video below for more.
