The fine folks behind the scenes of Sony's new Jumanji film have been having a good ol' time in the lush landscape of Hawai'i, and have been kind enough to share the fun with those of us on the outside. Jack Black has been happy to kick back on set while Kevin Hart passes the time doing his best impressions of co-star Dwayne Johnson. The Rock, meanwhile, was the reigning Instagram king, having posted nearly daily updates to his social media feed. But the crown has a new contender.
Karen Gillan has upped her own Instagram ante in the past few days with a number of behind-the-scenes posts. Her character drew some criticism early on when her "jungle-inappropriate" costume was revealed, but new plot details (and assurance from the stars themselves) explain this apparent wardrobe malfunction. It seems that, rather than simply playing a boardgame like in the 1995 original movie, the new film will see players competing in a video game in which they play as avatars Moose Finbar (Hart), Dr. Smolder Bravestone (Johnson), Professor Shelly Oberon (Black), and Ruby Roundhouse (Gillan).
Also starring Alex Wolff, Ser’Darius Blain, Madison Iseman, and Morgan Turner as the young players, plus Nick Jonas and Rhys Darby, Jumanji opens July 28, 2017. Are you excited to see Jumanji on the big screen? Let us know in the comments section below!

And not to be outdone, Johnson shared another photo of himself, Hart, and Black in costume:
While on set, one of us has a knack to break out in song at any moment (Jack Black), the other angrily eats Doritos and will tell you "go f*ck yourself" if you stare too long (Kevin Hart) and the last one has convinced himself that popping his pecs triggers sexual pheromones to be released from women. And Komodo Dragons. #OnLocation #Hawaii #Jumanji #TresHombres #WeHaveIssues
