The trailer for Jumanji: The Next Level arrived today and fans can't stop talking. The sequel to Jumanji sees the kids from Welcome to the Jungle enter the world of video games, where everything is broken and the characters have swapped places. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Danny DeVito will play the grandfathers of Spencer and Maya, played by DeVito and Johnson respectively. Obviously, fans are going crazy over the casting news and sharing their excitement on social media.
According to Extra Butter, Danny DeVito told the show that he heard Dwayne Johnson's voice in a television show. Although The Rock's accent is not as distinctive as DeVito's, it's still a great way to distinguish the two actors. In the movie, they are both avatars of the same character, Smolder Bravestone.
While DeVito is clearly not a fan of Dwayne Johnson, he's also happy to have the role. The Rock's impression of him is very close to DeVito's, and his angry screeches make the movie an easy watch. The actors who play Smolder are also great, and the actors hardly hold back.
