Production Insights on A Minecraft Movie Sequel
The original A Minecraft Movie, released in April 2025, was a remarkable success, grossing approximately 8 million globally against a budget of 0 million. This achievement not only marked it as one of the top films of 2025 but also set records for the largest domestic opening weekend for a video game adaptation. With such a positive reception, the announcement of a sequel was almost inevitable, and Warner Bros. confirmed Minecraft 2 for a summer 2027 release, with director Jared Hess returning to helm the project.
During a recent guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Momoa expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming film. He stated, “Very soon. Dude. Bro, end of April. They’re in it. The script is even better. It’s so good, I was laughing out loud. I haven’t laughed out loud in a very long time at a script.” His excitement hints at a promising direction for the sequel, which aims to build on the humor and charm of the first installment.
While specific plot details remain under wraps, Hess has previously indicated a desire to delve into new biomes and creatures within the expansive universe of Minecraft, exploring areas that were not featured in the initial film. The first movie showcased a diverse cast, including Momoa as pro gamer Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, alongside talents like Jack Black, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Jennifer Coolidge. Although a complete cast list for the sequel has yet to be announced, it is clear that Momoa will reprise his role.
As anticipation builds for Minecraft 2, fans can look forward to more adventures in the Overworld, with the promise of laughter and excitement on the horizon. With filming set to begin soon, the journey back into this pixelated realm is officially underway.
