Jumanji is coming back, baby.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star Dwayne Johnson announced on Instagram Wednesday that the reboot of 1995's Jumanji will be receiving a sequel.

With the news that the Jumanji reboot is now Sony Picture's highest grossing movie ever domestically, the artist formerly known as The Rock thanked fans on Instagram and let slip the news that the team is already working on a sequel. It was only inevitable, given the movie's success.

Johnson didn't give any hints about what we can expect with the sequel, but he did joke about Kevin Hart's character, Franklin "Mouse" Finbar.

"Speaking of giving the audience what they want, I'm gonna go ahead and kill Kevin Hart's character off for good, and everybody will be happy," Johnson said with a laugh.

Or maybe he's not joking and he's going to really kill off Mouse. That would be a hell of a way to tease it.
