The third installment of Jumanji Franchise marks the return of Dwayne Johnson as Dr. Smolder Bravestone. The Hollywood star had to cut short the filming for ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ due to suffering from fluids in his lungs.
Dwayne, who is also known as ‘The Rock’ has returned to the sets and is currently shooting the third installment of the action-adventure film. This was the first time in his career that Dwayne was not able to put his illness aside and continue shooting for the film. He had to end his work for much-needed recovery.
The Rampage star via his Instagram announced his return to the sets of ‘Jumanji 3’ and wrote, “Got my a** kicked yesterday when I woke up with a fever”. He further added, “Saw my doctor who observed I had fluid in my lungs. Fun.”
“Went to work, but for the first time in my entire career – wrestling around the world thru pain and hardcore injuries – shooting movies/touring around the world – yesterday was the first time ever I tapped out with only 3 hours left in my shooting day. So sick I couldn’t finish the job. Drive home miserable.”
Dwayne also shared the news alongside a photograph of his magic potion, antibiotics, and vitamin supplements and was returning to the ‘Jumanji’ set to continue shooting.
“The kid is back. Going to work. Ready to finish what I started and finishing this week on a strong uptick with my hard-working crew.”
Actors like Kevin Hart, Nick Jonas, Karen Gillan, and Jack Black will be revisiting their roles in the third part with new additions of Danny DeVito, Danny Glover, and Awkwafina.
