Jack Black is well-known for his roles in the 2017 film Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and its 2019 follow-up. He has stated that he is not currently involved with Jumanji 4 and is uncertain if he will claim a stake in the game to return for the third sequel to the 1995 Robin Williams adventure comedy, even though it is moving forward at sony Pictures, along with the other major players of Jumanji: The Next Level, Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan, and Kevin Hart. After years of delays brought on by the epidemic, strikes, and schedule issues among the all-star cast, he genuinely found it difficult to believe it was finally occurring.At the end of last year, Jumanji 3 was given a 2026 release date despite some production issues, although Black has hinted that he may not return for another installment in the franchise. He first said, "Well, we'll see," when Deadline directly asked him if viewers could anticipate seeing him in the upcoming Jumanji film. I'm hoping so. He was uncertain about the idea and whether he would go back for a third visit, though, when pressed for more details.
Jack Black: No. No. I don't believe that. I'll believe that when I get to set.
Deadline: Do you have any idea when that might be?
Jack Black: No. In fact, my feeling is always, 'I've already done my last film. I'm pretty sure I'm done. I'm pretty sure I'm retired.' I'll let you know if someone pulls me out of retirement, but it's been a great, great ride.Playing the "in-game" characters of four teenagers who keep getting lured into the enchanted game, Black said that he wished to retire in
2019 and that Jumanji: The Next Level might be his last film and collaboration with Johnson, Gillan, and Hart. Despite having "a couple of tricks" in his sleeve, the actor stated that he was "looking to wrap it up pretty soon" and "ride off into the sunset." Several voice-acting jobs, such as Bowser in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, reprising Po in Kung Fu Panda 4, and portraying Claptrap in Borderlands, are examples of these tactics.
