The Sydney Sunday Telegraph on Christmas Eve 2017 has a review by Vicky Roach of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
Under the headline, “Reboot a walk on the wild side”, Roach gave the film three stars and the verdict of “Game over”.
Karen Gillan’s name is included in the brief cast list of this review and for the character she plays that of “a butt-kicking heroine” and a picture of Karen with her co-stars in the movie accompanied this review.
Elsewhere on this paper is an interview with cast member Jack Black about playing a 16-year old girl transported to a man’s body with Black being the man. This is accompanied by another picture of Karen, Black and their co-stars in the movie. This article written by Neala Johnson mentioned Karen in the piece saying that she played “the timid bookworm in a kick-butt “killer of men” and quoted from Karen about Black’s take on teenage girlhood.
Karen said that Black’s take on teenage girlhood was “alarmingly accurate” and in fact she had to be reminded that she was the only female on the Hawaiian set. Karen then says that Black “somehow grounds it in such reality that I totally brought into it.”

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle: Karen Gillan plays Ruby Roundhouse the avatar in Jumanji for Martha (Morgan Turner) from reality and Karen is credited as playing Martha while Morgan Turner is credited in playing Young Martha. Karen had played Amy Pond in Doctor Who and what is curious from a Doctor Who fan standpoint of hearing her being called Martha in Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle is that Doctor Who had its own Martha played by Freema Agyeman and predates Karen’s Amy Pond. Among the other members of the Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle cast is Colin Hanks and just as this movie was released in December 2017, Karen had earlier appeared with his father Tom Hanks in the movie The Circle which was released earlier in 2017. For me personally as the soon game started I was eager to see its name. Very uneasy playing this game.

I again saw a Karen/Jumanji bus. Coincidentally this came on the same day that the ABC began a rerun of Martha episodes of Doctor Who.

A month after seeing Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle I coincidentally saw Nick Jonas in the Mr Sunshine episode Employee of the Month as well as seeing Rhys Darby in his regular role in Wrecked season 2.
In the midst of all this I read up on the possibility of a Jumanji 3 with Karen Gillan saying an alternate ending for Welcome to the Jungle would have left the door open for another movie but it did not due the changed ending.
Personally I would be very content if Welcome to the Jungle is the end of the Jumanji story. Welcome to the Jungle was mainly made as a tribute to the late original star of Jumanji Robin Williams. It has fulfilled this purpose and frankly further Jumanji movies would simply diminished the memory of Williams.

Karen Gillan was interviewed by the Sydney Sunday Telegraph’s Neala Johnson for an article on April 29 2018 about her role as Nebula in Avengers: Infinity War The article is presented under the headline “It’s Personal” and followed by the subheading “Karen Gillan was both fighter and fan while working on the star-studded Avengers epic” The pictures that are presented of her are of her at the Avengers: Infinity War world premiere and from her at the world premiere it has an arrow pointing to her as Nebula. Curiously enough the picture of Nebula that was used is one that I saw on the Internet just hours before coming across this article. marvelcinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Nebula?file=Nebula_AIW_Profile.jpgIt also presented a picture of her with her co-stars in Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle as it also looked at this movie. On Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle, Johnson says that Karen threw her arms in the air when Johnson told her that it became the 13th biggest box office hit of all time in Australia. Karen: “It’s so exciting to see how well people have responded to the film. That’s really cool.” Johnson also said that Karen is a fan of the original Jumanji in childhood and there was no way she would have let the remake spoil its legacy.

Although not an update on Jumanji 3, Jack Black and Madison Iseman who both played Bethany in Welcome To The Jungle, were both in Goosbumps 2: Haunted Halloween.
Like Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween is the second film in its respective film franchise.
In Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle, Madison Iseman and Black were not seen together as the former played Bethany in the real world while Black played the avatar of her in Jumanji. That was not the case in Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween as they briefly interacted together. Ironically just as they were both credited in Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle, Black is not credited in Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween.
Both Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle and Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween are essentially stand alone films with only a brief reference to what went on in the respective previous films but audience could still enjoy these respective second films if they had not seen the respective previous films beforehand.
Like Bethany, Madison Iseman’s character Sarah in Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween is also a high school student.
