Actor-singer Nick Jonas has officially touched down in the jungle for the upcoming โJumanjiโ sequel, reprising his fan-favourite role as Jefferson “Seaplane” McDonough.

Jonas took to social media to confirm his return to the next chapter of the blockbuster franchise, which is currently locked for a high-stakes global theatrical release on December 11, 2026.
ย
Captioning the post, “We are so back. Jumanji round 3,” he expressed his excitement about stepping once again into the role of the skilled pilot avatar.

His wife and actor Priyanka Chopra commented on the post, writing, “Let’s go.”

Jonas first appeared as Jefferson “Seaplane” McDonough in the successful revival of the franchise and has since become an integral part of its ensemble cast.
ย
He joins returning co-stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan.
ย
Earlier this week, Johnson shared an update from the set, marking the completion of Danny DeVito’s scenes with a tribute posted on February 17, 2026.
ย
Jonas’ return to โJumanjiโ follows a busy start to 2026. The musician recently released his solo album โSunday Bestโ on February 6, marking a significant milestone in his music career.
ย
โSunday Bestโ is Jonas’ fifth solo studio album. Described as his most “honest and introspective” work to date, as per Billboard, the 37-minute project reflects his life as a husband to Priyanka Chopra and a father to their daughter, Malti.
ย
The album focuses on family, love, faith, and his 20-year journey living with Type 1 diabetes. The cover art even features his Dexcom G7 glucose monitor as a symbol of transparency.
ย
A departure from his previous pop-heavy solo work, this record features a more organic, stripped-down sound with acoustic guitars, piano, choirs, and a string quartet.
