What do we know about the Minecraft movie?
Minecraft is directed by Jared Hess, who is known for making 2004’s Napoleon Dynamite, 2006’s Nacho Libre, 2009’s Gentlemen Broncos, 2015’s Don Verdean, and 2016’s Masterminds, along with a forthcoming animated Netflix movie called Thelma the Unicorn.
Shawn Levy, Rob McElhenney, and Peter Sollett were previously attached to the project before Hess was signed on to helm the film. Based on Mojang Studios’ popular video game, the script was written by Chris Bowman and Hubbel Palmer.
Along with Momoa and Black (who is playing Steve), Minecraft stars Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Euge Hansen, Memma Myers, Jennifer Coolidge, Kate McKinnon, and Jemaine Clement.
Plot details remain under wraps at this time; although, Black previously confirmed he and Brooks will sing in the movie.
Minecraft is being produced by Mary Parent, Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Cale Boyter, Momoa, Torfi Frans Olafsson, Vu Bui, and the late Jill Messick, while Todd Hallowell, Kayleen Walters, Brian Mendoza, and Jonathan Spaihts serve as executive producers.
Minecraft releases in the United States on April 4, 2025, from Warner Bros. Pictures.
