It can absolutely make it's release date. It will only take 3-4 months to film and then maybe a few more months in post.

Nick Jonas Returning for 'Jumanji' Sequel
The star played a teen trapped in the game for decades in 'Welcome to the Jungle.'
Nick Jonas is getting back in the game.
Jonas is returning for Sony's sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The actor and musician appeared in the 2017 hit as a teen who had been stuck in the game for decades. In a nod to Robin Williams' original, Jonas' character Alex was living in the hideout that had once been home to Williams' Alan Parrish.
Plot details are remaining under wraps for the Jumanji sequel. The film, which made more than $962.1 million globally, followed four teenagers who are sucked into a video game and take over avatars played by Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan, all of whom are returning. The four actors who played the teens — Ser’Darius Blain, Alex Wolff, Madison Iseman, and Morgan Turner — are also back for the sequel. Crazy Rich Asians star Awkwafina is joining the franchise, along with Danny DeVito and Danny Glover.
Jake Kasdan, who helmed the 2017 film, is returning to direct and penning the script with Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner. Matt Tolmach will produce with Seven Bucks’ Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Hiram Garcia, as well as Kasdan.
The untitled Jumanji sequel opens Dec. 13.
Jonas recently wrapped on Roland Emmerich’s Midway and has the thriller Chaos Walking coming up. Jonas is repped by WME and Philymack Management.

Didn't need/want the teens or Jonas back, since it would've been better to see the main cast playing as avatars for different personalities. Maybe they'll switch them up this time? Either way, I barely even remembered the teens.

Jonas makes sense because he's an in-game character. Not sure how the real world teens play a apart.

I wonder if there is any intention of trying to bring in a character from the original film this time around. I guess it wouldn't really make sense though, since the game has moved to a different location than the first movie.

In Jumanji: The Next Level, the gang is back but the game has changed. As they return to Jumanji to rescue one of their own, they discover that nothing is as they expect. The players will have to brave parts unknown and unexplored, from the arid deserts to the snowy mountains, in order to escape the world’s most dangerous game.
In theaters this Christmas!

Interesting twist that they’re different characters.
I enjoyed the first one so I’ll check this out.

So Bethany and Spencer must be Jonas and Awkwafina. I would think the twist is Bethany is Jonas this time?

Finally Kevin Hart gets to play a different type. He was basically the only actor playing himself in the last movie.

That's a really fun idea - same actors but with completely different personalities. I'm on board with that.

Looks great and I like that they added a different twist with the characters. Having The Rock and Hart act like DeVito and Glover should be really fun.
