The official title for Jumanji 3 is: Jumanji: Open World.

The stars for the third film, Stars Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black, also presented the trailer for CinemaCon attendees.

Deadline offers a description of the trailer:

The trailer opens with a computer repairman (Lamorne Morris) coming into the home of Janice (Marin Hinkle), the mother of our teen protagonist, Spencer (Alex Wolff). Therein, he finds an old video game console. Cut to the exterior of a house with supernatural clouds brewing over it and a shot of ostriches storming through the streets of the real world.

Later, we reunite with Spencer and friends at a restaurant where they cross paths with Spencer’s grandfather (Danny DeVito). Granddad points them to a corner booth where Dwayne Johnson’s game avatar Dr. Bravestone sits — speaking, for some reason, in a Spanish accent.

We see that the Jumanji game has invaded the real world, as the avatars of Hart, Black and Karen Gillan also show up — not as themselves but in “demo mode.”

“I’m beginning to suspect,” Black’s avatar says, “that we’re not in Jumanji.”

This leads our teen heroes back into the game world with the fate of both Jumanji and their world in their hands.

Jake Kasdan returned to direct Jumanji: Open World from a script written with Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg. Matt Tolmach, Kasdan, Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia produced the pic alongside EPs Barry Waldman, Melvin Mar, William Teitler, Ted Field, Mike Weber and Van Allsburg.

Jumanji: Open World opens Christmas Day.
