AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Warner Bros has officially dated A Minecraft Movie Squared for July 23, 2027, bringing back Jack Black, Jason Momoa, and Matt Berry while adding Kirsten Dunst as Alex.
The blockbuster cinematic adaptation of Mojang's sandbox giant is officially getting a follow-up. Warner Bros has confirmed that A Minecraft Movie Squared will hit theaters on July 23, 2027. Returning cast members Jack Black and Jason Momoa are stepping back into their respective roles as Steve and Garrett Garrison. Comedian Matt Berry is also returning to the franchise, though a recent behind the scenes promo reveals he is keeping his new character details completely under wraps for now, according to reporting by Victoria Phillips Kennedy over at Eurogamer.
Alongside the returning faces, the sequel is introducing a major heavy hitter to the blocky universe. Kirsten Dunst is joining the cast as Alex, rounding out the iconic duo of default player skins on the big screen. Alex was previously teased in a post-credits sequence in the first film, which set up a natural expansion of the cinematic lore for fans and younger viewers who treat the franchise as a core social hub.
The first film proved to be a massive commercial powerhouse after its debut last April, pulling in 301 million dollars worldwide during its opening weekend alone and sparking plenty of viral theater trends across social media. Whether the sequel can recapture that exact lightning in a bottle remains to be seen, but the confirmed release date gives the production team plenty of time to build out the hype cycle.
