Karen Gillan Cast In Dwayne Johnson’s Jumanji

Confirming speculation from a while ago, now Dwayne Johnson has announced Karen Gillan is joining the cast of Jumanji.

Between myself, [Kevin Hart], Jack Black and [Nick Jonas] we’ve searched far and wide to find the one person to complete our [Jumanji] family,” Johnson posted on Instagram. “This isn’t just any role, but in many ways the most important role of the movie. We had to find a girl. But not just any girl. A girl who has ‘Chutzpah.’ Guts, nerve and talent to stand her ground and hold her own against Nick’s cool rockstar ways, Jack’s relentless energy and genius, Kevin’s masterful timing and skills and the big, brown, bald tattooed guy who just simply stands there and oooooozes smoldering, captivating, sizzling, can’t take your eyes off this brilliant manly man.. never mind I got drunk on the ol’ DJ kool aid again. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m proud to announce a girl who’s playing the most important role in our movie – the talented, beautiful and down for a Scottish fight at any time, Ms. [Karen Gillan]. And yes, this is the girl who is so bad ass she shaved her freaking head for Guardians of the Galaxy. We start production next month in Hawaii and as many of you already know, this isn’t a remake or reboot, but a continuation of the awesome [Jumanj] story we love. Jake “The Snake” Kasdan directing, Matt “OG” Tolmach producing. Yup, I give everyone nicknames. The adventure and fun continues…”

As Johnson notes, the new Jumanji movie is a sequel to the 1995 film that starred Robin Williams.

Karen Gillan first teased involvement in the Jumanji movie back in 2013 noting “things are really happening.”

Gillan also stars in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Jumanji has a July 28, 2017 release starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Nick Jonas.

Dwayne Johnson Updates Jumanji Remake

Dwayne Johnson has taken to his social networks to offer an update on the Jumanji remake.

Johnson said cast announcements will be made later this week. See below for more. 

Jumanji has a July 28, 2017 release directed by Jake Kasdan also starring Kevin Hart, with Tom Holland rumored for a role as well.

Via The Rock’s Instagram:

therockAnd the #JUMANJI magic begins.

Excellent meeting with our director Jake Kasdan, producer Matt Tolmach, and our @SevenBucksProd team to work on our new re-imagining of this amazing story.

I felt like in order to craft something cool we should begin where it all started. Award winning writer Chris Van Allsburg’s source material of JUMANJI. Chris also wrote THE POLAR EXPRESS (later adapted by Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks) and has a very special & magical way of storytelling.

I’m feelin’ good and confident stepping into these shoes as a producer as well as actor to bring you something great that you and your entire fam can enjoy.

An important thing that I want to be honest and bring up is Robin Williams. The love and respect I have for this man is boundless. You have my word, we will honor his name and the character of “Alan Parrish” will stand alone and be forever immortalized in the world of JUMANJI in an earnest and cool way. I have an idea of what to do and I think his family will be proud. I also think Robin is somewhere lookin’ down and laughing, remembering the first time we met backstage and I (for the first time ever) was a star struck bumbling idiot that couldn’t even get my words out. Idiot. He literally calmed me down w/ that smile and laugh. But that’s for another fun story down the road.

We got a great team assembled already over at our home base of SONY and now we build from here.

Here’s another fun part… in the original movie there were three big roles. In our new story there’s now FIVE. Been so damn cool to see all my actor buddies push their projects aside so hopefully they can come play in our world. Should have cool casting announcements this week. Will keep you posted.
