He spoke about <em data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"919\">Lizard Music<\/em>, an upcoming Benny Safdie film based on Daniel Pinkwater\u2019s novel, where he plays a quirky 70-year-old character named Chicken Man.

With projects like <em data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1541\">The Smashing Machine<\/em> and <em data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1560\">Lizard Music<\/em>, he hopes to showcase a different side of his talent.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1848\">For fans of <em data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1639\">Jumanji<\/em>, though, the biggest takeaway is clear: filming begins in November, and with Johnson and Hart back together, the franchise is set to deliver another round of action, laughs, and adventure on the big screen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"1974\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dwayne Johnson has finally confirmed what fans have been waiting to hear\u2014Jumanji 3 is officially happening and will begin filming\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":90294,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[3829],"class_list":["post-90293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-dwayne-johnson"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90293\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
