Karen Gillan, 38, is clearly having the time of her life on the Jumanji 4 set, and she’s not hiding it. Production has been rolling for months, and the cast keeps feeding fans with behind-the-scenes moments that feel loose, warm, and slightly unhinged in the best way. Gillan leads that charge. Her latest Instagram photo dump does a lot without trying too hard. You get laughs. You get teamwork. You also get Ruby Roundhouse back in full force with rock-hard abs.
The images bounce around the set like a group chat gone public. One snap shows the Guardians of the Galaxy actor striking a pose next to a giant nutcracker. The outfit is the familiar crop top and shorts combo, and yes, the abs are doing their job.
Other shots slow things down. Gillan leans into selfies with what looks like her hair and makeup team. The same energy popped up earlier when the cast marked her birthday on set. These people don’t just show up, hit marks, and leave. They hang out. They’re friends. That chemistry shows up on screen.
Then there’s the standout image. Gillan, Jack Black, and a child, all squeezed into one moment of chaos and joy. Black pulls one of his classic faces. Gillan grins like she’s trying not to laugh mid-take.
She wraps the dump with a quieter photo. Gillan holds a child while studying a storyboard, with a deliberately silly spoiler warning slapped over anything useful. Years in the Marvel system taught her well.
The setting hints at a holiday backdrop, maybe even a real-world shift instead of a game.
What’s clear is this. The core cast is back. They’re fit. They’re bonded. And they’re counting down to December 11, 2026, when Jumanji 4 lands in theaters. You can feel the momentum building.
