Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has officially announced that Guardians of the Galaxy star Karen Gillan has joined the cast of Sony’s Jumanji sequel in a key role.
The project will be directed by Jake Kasdan. Gillan joins Johnson (San Andreas), Kevin Hart (Central Intelligence), Jack Black (Goosebumps) and Nick Jonas (Scream Queens). Details about her role are being kept under wraps, but Deadline reveals that her character will be called Martha. The movie will start principal photography sometime next month in Honolulu, Hawaii.
While it was initially believed that the upcoming movie will be a reboot of the original 1995 fantasy film starring Robin Williams, Johnson recently took to Instagram to say that it will actually be a continuation of the franchise.
