Dwayne Johnson has introduced a special Dwayne Johnson Jumanji 3 easter egg, sharing how the upcoming film will honor Robin Williams, the legendary star of the original Jumanji. Production began in Los Angeles, where Johnson, known for his role as Dr. Xander Bravestone, discussed the significance of working in his home city and the unique tribute during a post on X/Twitter.
Homage to Robin Williams with Original Jumanji Dice
On set of Jumanji 3, Dwayne Johnson wore a necklace featuring a dice pendant—the same dice used in the 1995 Jumanji led by Robin Williams. Johnson explained that this was his way to recognize the foundation Robin Williams laid for the entire franchise, especially as the upcoming film promises to be the fifth and final installment in the beloved series. Johnson said,
“A little day one of Jumanji excitement. That was cool. So good to be shooting in Los Angeles. I have not shot a film in Los Angeles in.. I don’t know when, so it feels so good to bring a production back home to Los Angeles and have a hard-working crew sleep in their own bed every night.”

The actor continued, emphasizing the meaning behind the hidden detail,
“Especially just a big fun movie like Jumanji, as you see (points to the necklace he’s wearing), little easter egg with Dr. Bravestone. This is the dice from the original Jumanji with Robin Williams, as a show of respect and a way of honoring Robin and this entire franchise that he started, as we film our very last Jumanji. Big finale, here we go, let’s shoot!”

Legacy and Anticipation for Jumanji’s Final Chapter
