Columbia Pictures’ remake of the beloved 1995 movie Jumanji looks to be one player closer to starting production.

Dwayne Johnson signed on to star in the picture three weeks ago and has been posting casting updates on Instagram. Yesterday, Johnson took to his account to welcome Jack Black to the production.

“It’s official,” he wrote. “An ol’ friend is ready to play in the world of Jumanji… Jack (mf’n) Black.”

Johnson also mentioned Kevin Hart playing one of the other lead roles.

“Two big roles left,” wrote Johnson. “One bad ass girl. One semi-sorta bad ass dude.”

While Johnson’s post is currently the only confirmation of Black’s involvement, it will serve to be a reunion for Black and director Jake Kasdan if accurate. (They previously worked together on 2002’s Orange County.)

Kasdan’s Jumanji rampages into theatres July 28, 2017.
