In exciting news for fans of the original Jumanji film, David Alan Grier, who played Carl Bentley in the 1995 classic, recently spoke about the possibility of returning for new sequels. While there has been a resurgence of the beloved franchise with the success of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and its subsequent sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level, Grier revealed that he has not yet been approached to reprise his role.
Grier shared his enthusiasm for the prospect of starring in a new Jumanji sequel but acknowledged that the decision ultimately lies with the studio. He described the current trend of reboots, where the original property is divorced from the new iteration, likening it to keeping a last name after a divorce. Although Grier has not been asked to join any new Jumanji films, he remained open to the possibility.
