All good things come to an end, and for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, the comedic action movie actually had a few different endings in sight. With the ending shown on the big screen being a bit happily ever after (and close-ended), fans have been curious to know other ways the film could have concluded, particularly in terms of leaving it more open for a sequel.

“There is that conversation of what could have happened,” Nick Jonas said, as he revealed that there were multiple endings considered for the film. According to producer Matt Tolmach, “We played with a bunch of different endings. There’s a trap when you make movies about games. You have to make sure they have stakes. We were very intent on making it clear that you could also not get out of the game. That idea was very important to us throughout.” Karen Gillan who stars alongside Dwayne Johnson and Jonas as well as Kevin Hart and Jack Black, said: “In previous versions there was more of that where [Spencer] wanted to stay in the game with Martha. We made way more of that.” She added: “It definitely could be interesting and would definitely leave it open to a sequel.“

Another ending considered included a special twist where everyone gets sucked in the game – again.
