As of the latest information available, there is no officially announced film titled "Jumanji 5". Therefore, there is currently no name for a fifth Jumanji movie.
The Jumanji film series has evolved over the years, starting with the original board game adventure and later introducing a video game concept.
The Jumanji Film Series So Far
Understanding the existing films helps clarify why there isn't yet a "Jumanji 5" title. The modern series, which the reference Jumanji: The Next Level belongs to, is a continuation of the original story.
Here's a quick look at the core films:
- Jumanji (1995): The original film based on Chris Van Allsburg's book.
- Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005): A spiritual spin-off also based on a Van Allsburg book, set in the same universe with similar game mechanics.
- Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017): A direct sequel to the 1995 film, introducing the Jumanji video game concept. This is often considered the third film in the overall franchise.
- Jumanji: The Next Level (2019): This is the film mentioned in the reference. It is the direct sequel to Welcome to the Jungle and the fourth film in the overall franchise. It follows the same group of characters (and some new ones) as they return to the Jumanji game when one of their friends gets stuck inside again.
