The Jumping Ground II: Draxoid's Revenge

Jumping Ground Rising: Revengeance is an upcoming 3D traditionally-animated/computer-animated science-fiction comedy-action film based on the animated science-fiction sitcom The Jumping Ground, directed by Jabez Olssen (in his directional debut) from a script written by Jared Bush, and produced by series creators Lee Eisenhower and Conrad Vernon. It is the fourth theatrical film based on a Cartoon Network series, and a stand-alone sequel to 2016's The Jumping Ground Movie.

The voice cast features Matthew Mercer, Tom Kenny, Michelle Knotz, Nicky Jones, Tara Strong, and Dee Bradley Baker reprising their roles from the main series as PuffPuff, Lance, Zowie, Rob, Melvin, and Toad respectively, whilst the guest cast includes that of Daniel Brühl (replacing Q uinton Flynn in his role as  Raiden, who played a vital role in the  twentieth season), Bill Hader, Nick Offerman, Rosie Huntington-Whitley, Keegan Michael-Key, Charlie Day, Nick Frost, Jenny Slate, and Charles Dance.

Revengeance is set to be released in the United States on January 28, 2018, in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D, by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Background and Development
During an interview with MTV News in mid-November 2015, Sean Astin, the voice of PuffPuff at the time, talked about possible sequels: "It might be two films, three films, It could be four. It could be five. Who knows? The story will continue."

On March 21, 2016, it was reported that a sequel is already in the works with Jared Bush writing the screenplay and Eisenhower and Vernon returning to produce. On July 14, one day before the first film's US debut, it was announced that a sequel was officially going ahead based upon The Jumping Ground Movie's strong financial results internationally, with a January 26, 2018 release date. On September 15, an official title for the sequel, Jumping Ground 2, was announced.

Later in December, New Zealand film editor Jabez Olssen was confirmed to be making his directional debut with this film.

Producer Dan Ast told IGN in February 2017 that the sequel would have a significantly darker theme, but would regain a handful of comedic elements to it, therefore "staying true to the purpose of the whole franchise". The film was then renamed Jumping Ground Rising on March 2, 2017, until being given the official title of Jumping Ground Rising: Revengeance at CinemaCon 2017, whilst it was also confirmed that it would be a stand-alone sequel.

Casting
On August 2, it was reported that Daniel Brühl was in talks to voice the main villain (although it was revealed in April 2017 that Brühl would not be playing a villain, but a new character, which later appeared to be that of Raiden, a cybernetically-enhanced assassin who appeared in several episodes before playing a vital role in the show's twentieth season, replacing Quinton Flynn, who voiced the character in the series).

More cast members were announced on October 21, including Nick Offerman, Rosie Huntington-Whitley, Charlie Day, and Nick Frost. The main series' cast will also reprise their respective roles, whilst Bill Hader and Keegan Michael-Key will return for the sequel, playing different roles.
