As you may know from the trailers, not everyone makes it back into the same avatar they had last time.
It’s a longer setup than we saw in the last film, but it allows the viewer to really spend time with these characters this time around before they inevitably end up back in the Jumanji game. There, we also meet Milo (Danny Glover), a former buddy of Eddie’s who he has a beef with.
While the gang is thrilled to get back together on holiday break, Spencer ends up at home with his mom and ailing, grouchy and forgetful grandfather Eddie (Danny DeVito). The sequel starts off a while after the kids - Bethany (Madison Iseman), Martha (Morgan Turner), Fridge (Ser’Darius Blain), and Spencer (Alex Wolff) - have returned to their normal lives.
