Summary

• The Jumanji: The Next Level cast features top-tier actors in a fun body-switching adventure full of laughs and action-packed moments.
• Dwayne Johnson returns as the capable adventurer Dr. Smolder Bravestone, while Kevin Hart shines as the small-sized zoologist Franklin "Mouse" Finbar.
• Karen Gillan impresses as the skilled commando Ruby Roundhouse, and Jack Black delivers comedy gold as the high-intellect Professor Sheldon "Shelly" Oberon.

The Jumanji: The Next Level cast is filled with top-tier actors and actresses, some of whom appeared in the last film and some who are new to the franchise. The third Jumanji movie is directed by Jake Kasdan and takes fan-favorite characters on another rip-roaring adventure in Jumanji as they face unknown dangers to rescue a friend. Though Robin Williams was the beloved star of the original movie, the likes of Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black proved they could carry the legacy in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle while the ensemble grows in the follow-up.

The ensemble cast of Jumanji: The Next Level is especially fun given the body-switching element of the story. The previous movie saw a group of teens enter into the video game avatars such as Johnson's rugged adventurer and Black's professor. However, this time around, not all of the same characters are winding up in the same body and there is a lot of fun switching going on throughout the movie with the actors, both Hollywood movie stars and veteran performers, having a lot of fun with the premise.

Dwayne Johnson

Dr. Smolder Bravestone

Dwayne Johnson stars as Dr. Smolder Bravestone in Jumanji: The Next Level. Partially inspired by Indianan Jones, Bravestone is the most capable avatar in the game with the timid Spencer assuming his rugged stature in the first movie. However, due to a mix-up this time around, Spencer's older grandfather, Eddie, ends up being Bravestone for the majority of the adventure.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson got his start in the world of wrestling, where he became one of the biggest names in the business. Johnson took his charisma and big personality to the big screen with his early starring roles in the likes of The Rundown and The Scorpion King. However, Johnson quickly became one of the biggest stars in Hollywood thanks to blockbusters like San Andreas, Jungle Cruise, and Moana. He is also known for playing Hobbs in the Fast and the Furious franchise, a role he is expected to return to in the near future.

Kevin Hart

Franklin "Mouse" Finbar

Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson have appeared in many movies together with Jumanji: The Next Level further cementing their terrific chemistry together. Hart returns to the Jumanji sequel as the avatar Franklin "Mouse" Finbar, a zoologist and weapons carrier who is made the butt of many jokes for his lack of physical skills in the game and his small size. This time, the avatar is controlled by Milo Walker.

Kevin Hart began his career as a standup comedian, gradually becoming one of the biggest and most profitable stars in the business. Hart recently teamed with fellow comic superstar Chris Rock for the documentary Kevin Hart and Chris Rock: Headliners Only. Hart also began to build a successful and busy movie schedule with movies like Ride Along, About Last Night, and Get Hard. Alongside Johnson, Hart has starred in the likes of Central Intelligence and DC League of Super-Pets. Hart recently took on his first action role in the Netflix movie Lift.

Karen Gillan

Ruby Roundhouse

Ruby Roundhouse is the skilled commando avatar in the movie. Just as in the first movie, Martha takes over the character when she enters the game. Hilariously, she points out the ridiculous costume her character wears which is in line with the outfits many female video game heroes are seen wearing to appease the male gamers. Within this capable and strong body, Martha finds a lot of confidence and has to serve as something of a leader in the sequel.

Karen Gillan is a Scottish actor who is best known for playing Nebula in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies as well as several other MCU projects. Gillan has also shown her incredible versatility in a number of roles like the underrated sitcom Selfie, the action movie Gunpowder Milkshake, and the horror film Oculus. She will next be seen alongside Tom Hiddleston in the Mike Flanagan fantasy movie The Life of Chuck.

Jack Black

Professor Sheldon "Shelly" Oberon
