On his Instagram account, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson confirmed that Jack Black has been added to the cast of the Jumanji remake. Black will join Johnson and Kevin Hart in the film, with two more key characters yet to be cast. Aware that remaking a Robin Williams film may not sit well with some people, Johnson recently posted the following statement:
“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.”
