It’s officially a wrap for Danny DeVito on the upcoming Jumanji 4, and no one marked the moment quite like Dwayne Johnson. The actor took to social media to share behind-the-scenes pictures from the set, celebrating DeVito’s final day of shooting with a caption that perfectly blended gratitude and humor.
“That’s an official Jumanji wrap on the one and the only, Danny DeVito,” Johnson wrote. “To work with you, and learn from you has been an honor — and to call you my friend, will always be a privilege.” He thanked the veteran star for his “anchoring heart and JOY” throughout the franchise, before cheekily adding, “please keep smilin’ and please keep exfoliating the top of your head.” Classic Rock energy.
Directed once again by Jake Kasdan, the next installment in the blockbuster franchise is slated for a December 2026 release. The rebooted Jumanji series — which kicked off with 2017’s smash hit — has collectively grossed over a billion dollars worldwide, turning the fantasy adventure into one of Sony’s most bankable modern franchises.
DeVito, now 81, brought his signature comedic timing and warmth to the rebooted universe, starring alongside Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan. The ensemble’s chemistry has been a major part of the films’ success, blending action, video-game absurdity, and heartfelt humor. Fans still fondly recall the hilarious body-swap dynamic that became a standout element of the newer films.
The wrap-up post included three candid behind-the-scenes photos capturing hugs, laughter, and that unmistakable on-set camaraderie. Within hours, the tribute racked up tens of thousands of likes and comments, with fans applauding both DeVito’s enduring screen presence and Johnson’s genuine affection for his co-star.
As anticipation builds for the final chapter of the reboot saga, Johnson’s tribute serves as a reminder that beyond the CGI jungles and high-stakes quests, it’s the relationships that make Jumanji special. And if this really is the last roll of the dice, it looks like the adventure is ending on a heartfelt — and hilariously bald — high note.
