In a recent conversation with a lifestyle magazine, Kirsten Dunst expressed her enthusiasm for a potential new venture in the film industry, one that aligns with both her children’s interests and her desire for financial success. Following the impressive box office performance of ‘A Minecraft Movie,’ Dunst revealed her eagerness to participate in its sequel, a project that she believes could be both enjoyable and lucrative.
Seeking a Fun and Profitable Role
Dunst shared that her children were fans of the original film, which has influenced her interest in joining the franchise. She articulated a desire for a project that would not only entertain but also contribute positively to her career’s financial trajectory. “Maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money?” she mused, highlighting her pragmatic approach to selecting future roles.
Director Jared Hess, who was at the helm of the first Minecraft film, has also expressed enthusiasm for a sequel. He noted that the initial film merely scratched the surface of the expansive universe presented in the game. “We had so much fun making this movie, and it’s such an expansive world in the game, and there were so many things that we didn’t tap into that we wanted to,” Hess remarked.
He further conveyed his excitement about the possibility of returning to this vibrant world, stating, “I would have a blast doing the sequel, and it seems like there’s already talk about it happening, so I’m super excited. It’ll be so much fun to go back into the world. The fans are just having such a good time.” The end credits of the original film hinted at the introduction of another beloved character, Alex, voiced by Kate McKinnon, though the character’s face remained a mystery, fueling speculation about who might bring Alex to life in a sequel.
As fans eagerly await news of the sequel, there is growing curiosity about whether Dunst could step into the role of Alex, adding another layer of intrigue to this potential project. Dunst’s recent success with her film ‘Civil War’ (2024), which grossed over 7 million globally, showcases her continued relevance in the industry. Her highest-grossing film remains ‘Spider-Man 3’ (2007), which amassed an impressive 2 million worldwide, further solidifying her status as a box office draw.
