Filming for the new Jumanji movie kicked off in Hawaii on Monday.

And the next day a photo of the cast in character was shared by actor Kevin Hart.

Also in the snap is Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Jack Black and Karen Gillan. The original came out in 1995 and starred the late Robin Williams as well as Kirsten Dunst, Bonnie Hunt and Bradley Pierce.

All new: A first photo of the Jumanji cast - Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan - has been shared

'Day 1 of shooting Jumanji is officially in the can. We had a amazing first day,' wrote the comedian.

'The chemistry & energy of our cast & crew was beyond amazing!!!!

'This movie is going to be dope as hell....Can't wait to get back to work tomorrow.' His hashtags included the names of his co-stars.

Also joining the cast is singer Nick Jonas though he was not pictured.

Pointing out how well the cast is getting along seems deliberate as The Rock had a hard time with some of his cast mates on his late film, Fast 8.

It's clear Hart does not want people thinking that bad energy followed the 44-year-old superstar.

This movie is not being billed as a remake of the Williams classic, but rather a 'continuation.'

The Rock said: 'As a producer on this movie and someone who loves the original, you have my word we'll honor the legend of 'Alan Parrish' and properly introduce a whole new generation to the fun and crazy Jumanji universe that so many of us loved and grew up on.'

Johnson shared concept art of his Jumanji character in costume recently.

'EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK: Concept art of my #JUMANJI character. "The Smoldering" Dr. Bravestone. (not sure where my pecs went),' Johnson quipped.

The older one: The original came out in 1995 and starred the late Robin Williams as well as Kirsten Dunst, Bonnie Hunt and Bradley Pierce

'This is gonna be fun...,' the actor promised.

The first Jumanji was about a magical board game that unleashes a world of adventure on siblings Peter (Pierce) and Judy Shepherd (Dunst). While exploring an old mansion, the youngsters find a curious, jungle-themed game called Jumanji in the attic. When they start playing, they free Alan Parrish (Williams), who's been stuck in the game's inner world for decades.

If they win Jumanji, the kids can free Alan for good, but that means braving giant bugs, ill-mannered monkeys and even stampeding rhinos.
