Trivia / Jumanji: The Next Level

• Acting for Two:
  • Dwayne Johnson plays Eddie as Bravestone, Spencer as Bravestone and Bravestone's father in a cut scene flashback.
  • Jack Black plays Fridge as Shelly Oberon, Martha as Shelly Oberon, and Bethany as Shelly Oberon.
  • Kevin Hart plays Milo as Mouse Finbar, and Fridge as Mouse Finbar.
  • Karen Gillan plays Martha as Ruby Roundhouse, and Fridge as Ruby Roundhouse.
  • Awkwafina plays Spencer as Ming Fleetfoot, and Eddie as Ming Fleetfoot.
• Playing Against Type:
  • Dwayne Johnson melds his action hero creds with the personality of a diminutive elderly man from Joisey (complete with accent).
  • Kevin Hart trades the fast talking, high attitude character he is known for to similarly become a low energy, long-winded elderly man.
• Production Nickname: Due to the final title not being chosen until after filming was over, Jack Black called this movie "Jumanji Deuce" while shooting, as evidenced on his YouTube channel.
• Promoted Fanboy: The Jumanji picture book was one of Danny DeVito's favorites to read with his kids.
• Real-Life Relative: Danny's daughter, Lucy DeVito, appears as a Maiden.
• Refitted for Sequel: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was originally going to end with Spencer and Martha choosing to remain on Jumanji as Smolder Bravestone and Ruby Roundhouse. While they ultimately consider the idea but desist in the final version of that film, here Milo chooses to stay on Jumanji to protect it given his declining health condition back in the real world.
• Role Reprise: At the end of the film, Bebe Neuwirth makes a cameo, reprising her role as Nora Shepherd from the original Jumanji film.
• You Sound Familiar: In the Canadian French dub, Eddie is voiced by Manuel Tadros, who voiced Carl Bentley in the original movie.
