Danny DeVito is the latest actor to join the sequel to "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle."

Along with new addition Awkafina ("Crazy Rich Asians"), the sequel will bring back the original cast with Jake Kasdan returning as director.

"Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," a loose sequel to the 1995 film, earned $962 million worldwide. It followed four teens transported into the world of Jumanji, where they're turn into their adult avatars. Including, hilariously, a teenage girl who's now Jack Black -- and crushing on her now beefed-up schoolmate played by Dwayne Johnson.

While we don't know who DeVito is playing, it's likely he'll be a game character as well.

"The magic of 'Jumanji' is who becomes who. And the idea of Danny DeVito joining our cast was too irresistible and something we knew we wanted to deliver to our audience this upcoming Christmas. Dwanta Claus loves everyone," Johnson said.

DeVito will next be seen in as the circus ringmaster in Tim Burton's live-action "Dumbo."
