We seeJack Blackeating his rice, playing along with the gag, withKevin Hartteasing thatJack Blacksaid he “ain’t shooting s–t” until he finishes his rice, but whenDwayne Johnsoncomes into frame,Kevin Hartchanges his tune immediately. Last month,Dwayne Johnsonmade headlines after a scathing social media post where he called some of hisFast & Furious 8male co-stars “candy asses.”
Shortly after that post started going viral, rumors spread thatVin Dieselwas the target ofDwayne Johnson’s rant, with sources claiming thatVin Dieselis constantly holding up production, while other reports claim that the whole thing was a publicity stunt, leading up to a WWE match betweenDwayne JohnsonandVin Dieselat WrestleMania, which airs just days beforeFast & Furious 8hits theaters. While none of those reports have been confirmed, it seemsDwayne Johnsonhas no problem poking fun at the incident, even tweeting out an apology to one of his new co-stars,Rhys Darby, forKevin Hart’s “diva behavior.”
Dwayne Johnson’s tweet pointed to a new Empire story that bothRhys DarbyandMorgan Turnerhave signed on, joiningDwayne Johnson(Dr. Bravestone),Kevin Hart(Moose Finbar),Jack Black(Professor Shelly Oberon),Karen Gillan(Ruby Roundhouse) andNick Jonas.Rhys Darbywill be playing a character named Nigel, whileMorgan Turneris playing an unknown role. It isn’t known how many more roles are needed to be filled onJumanji 2, whichJake Kasdanis directing, and has been set for release on August 22, 2025.
Dwayne Johnsonalso revealed in another tweet that more “cool/fun details” will be released soon regardingKaren Gillan’scontroversial costume. Some believe that her character Ruby Roundhouse has been trapped in theJumanjigame since she was a child, and she has now emerged as an adult wearing the same “child-sized clothes,” but that hasn’t been confirmed quite yet. Take a look at the latest video from the set ofJumanji 2below.
