Considering that Jumanji will arrive in UK theaters over the weekend, the trailer could premiere online as soon as this week . The U.S. release will follow on December 13.
Sony hasn’t provided confirmation about the sequel name, but the promotional campaign has begun. One item in particular is a Hi-C ad which appeared on Twitter a few weeks ago, according to ScreenCrush.

Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Carrie Coon, and Paul Rudd will star in the film, and it will premiere on July 10, 2020.
