Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart play a dangerous game in the new trailer for “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.”
The reboot’s second trailer reveals new footage of the upcoming film, where four misbehaving students are transported into a video game. There, they take on alter-ego avatars, played by Johnson, Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black — and some are in for a surprise.
“Weakness: none?” Johnson’s character says in surprise as he looks at his character stats.
“Weakness: cake,” Hart’s character discovers — and his obsession with cake gets him into trouble later, the trailer reveals.
Directed by Jake Kasdan, the screenplay was written by Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers and Scott Rosenberg & Jeff Pinkner with a story by Chris McKenna, based on the book Jumanji by Chris Van Allsburg. Matt Tolmach and William Teitler are producers.
