With Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle notching up an impressive run at the box-office, it’s not surprising to find out that Sony has already greenlit a follow-up. Jumanji 3 is now confirmed for Christmas 2019 and it will once again go head to head with Star Wars. Episode IX is due to be released around the same time but helping Jumanji 3 along will be Dwayne Johnson who is confirmed to return for the sequel. No word yet on Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan’s involvement but do expect casting announcements to be made in the coming months.
Amazon Renews Jack Ryan
Although it hasn’t premiered yet, Amazon is apparently confident that Jack Ryan will be well received by fans. Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan will have a second season despite season 1 premiering only on 31 August 2018. Starring John Krasinski, the new series will see Clancy’s beloved character engage in all-new adventures on the streaming service, Amazon Prime. Krasinki has been riding a wave of popularity as of late following his success with A Quiet Place. It would seem that Amazon Prime wanted to secure the services of Krasinki before he got too busy.

Louis C.K. Replaced In Secret Life of Pets 2
Following the fallout from his sexual misconduct issues from last year, Louis C.K. has largely kept out of the public eye. He has also lost a number of roles and projects stemming from this. One of the key roles the comedian will lose out on is his reprisal as Max from the sequel to Secret Life of Pets. Replacing Louis C.K. in the animated movie is Patton Oswalt who will now voice Max. Also joining the production is Harrison Ford who will make his debut voicing a character in a feature length animated movie.
John Wick Chapter 3 Details Revealed
The John Wick franchise has been one of the most intriguing actioners in recent memory and next year we will likely see the culmination of the series with John Wick 3. It will be interesting to see where the third chapter takes the titular character following the open contract on his life for taking a life on the grounds of the Continental Hotel. The film will take off immediately after John Wick 2 with Wick on the run and fighting his way out of New York City. John Wick 3 is scheduled to open in cinemas in May 2019.
