JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL - EXCLUSIVE Blu-ray Clip Explores Kevin Hart's Hysterical Body Swapping Antics

The aforementioned clip spotlights Kevin Hart's (Franklin "Mouse" Finbar) scene-stealing performance in the film, which saw him debut a hilarious impression of his 4x Primetime Emmy-nominated co-star Danny Glover (Milo Walker). His new character was a considerable departure from the usual high energy characters he's known for, which brought for a new challenge for the fan-favorite comedian-turned-actor. 

The sequel, which saw the return of stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan, grossed over $769.3 million worldwide on an estimated $125-132 million production budget, which, while not reaching the heights of its predecessor, should still more or less guarantee that Sony will greenlight a sequel.

The home video release comes jam-packed with special features, including a gag reel, informative making of featurettes, scene breakdowns, VFX pre-vis breakdowns and an exclusive AR Game that will include a collectible map that is fully interactive, employing Augmented Reality to bring Jumanji to life through a smart phone, allowing users to create their own 8-bit Avatar, navigate a series of mini games and much more!
