Kevin Hart playfully mocked his Jumanji: The Next Level colleague Dwayne Johnson’s famous fanny pack picture in a comical Halloween advertisement, hinting at the release of a new movie trailer on Thursday. The amusing video, shared by both Hart and Johnson on their social media accounts, opens with Johnson greeting children dressed as the movie’s main characters and generously handing out full-sized candy bars. However, the following trick-or-treater turns out to be none other than Kevin Hart himself impersonating Johnson’s iconic fanny pack image from 1994, initially posted on Instagram in July 2014.
In a comical Halloween promotion, Kevin Hart playfully imitated his co-star Dwayne Johnson’s famous fanny pack photo from Jumanji: The Next Level. The entertaining clip also hinted at an upcoming trailer release for the movie set for Thursday.

In this delightful clip, Johnson can be seen interacting with a group of enthusiastic youngsters dressed up as the iconic characters from Jumanji: The Next Level. Adding to their excitement, Johnson surprises the kids by generously gifting them full-sized candy bars.
The upcoming individual to knock on the door is Kevin Hart, channeling his inner creativity by donning an outfit inspired by a memorable 1994 fanny pack snapshot of The Rock. The photo, initially posted on Instagram by The Rock in July 2014, served as the inspiration for Hart’s Halloween look. As The Rock opens the door, he is greeted by Hart striking the same fanny pack pose, playfully declaring, “Trick or treat.” Puzzled by Hart’s unconventional choice of attire, The Rock inquires about the reasoning behind it. Hart simply states that it is his costume and jokingly suggests that one can effortlessly achieve an absurd appearance by visiting a costume shop and requesting to be made to look foolish. Attempting to offer a bit of guidance, The Rock advises Hart to adjust his stance, but Hart remains steadfast, asserting that his posture mirrors that of the 1994 photograph.

Johnson advises Hart to change his posture, but Hart insists on standing that way, citing a picture from 1994 as proof. Hart jokingly claims that he came because he heard Johnson is distributing something worthwhile, to which Johnson confirms, although not for Hart.

Hart shared the video on his Instagram, boasting about his Halloween costume and teasing the upcoming trailer.
Compact: According to Hart, his presence is attributed to rumors of Johnson distributing top-notch goodies. Although Johnson confirms the claim, he clarifies that Hart is not the intended recipient. Playfully, Johnson hands Hart a minuscule candy bar, comparing its size to Hart and humorously instructs him to stash it in his fanny pack.
