From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

Dwayne Johnson has offered a first look at the upcoming sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

A loose sequel to the 1981 film, starring Robin Williams and itself based on the 1981 book by Chris Van Allsburg, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle became a surprise hit. Not only did it garner positive reviews, but the film earned over $962m worldwide and became the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2017.

Johnson posted an image of the film’s main cast – himself, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Jack Black – to Instagram, looking exactly as they did in the original film.

“Yes, you’re favorite band is back ~ lookin’ lean (ish) and mean,” he wrote in the photo’s caption. ”Even though things may not be as they seem. So buckle up world because soon we’ll all play when a brand NEW JUMANJI drops this Holiday!”

“Oh the fun you’re gonna have. Love, The Smoldering Dr. Bravestone.”

Alongside returning cast Alex Wolff, Ser’Darius Blain, Morgan Turner and Madison Iseman, the sequel will also see Awkwafina, Danny Glover, and Danny DeVito star.

The film will be released in US cinemas on 13 December 2019.
