A Minecraft Movie 2 is set to enchant audiences once again, following the remarkable success of its predecessor, which emerged as the highest-grossing film of 2025. With a domestic box office tally of 4 million, it narrowly surpassed Lilo & Stitch by a mere 0,000. On the global stage, the film secured a fifth-place finish, amassing an impressive 8.2 million, trailing behind notable titles such as Ne Zha 2 and Zootopia 2. Given this overwhelming reception, a sequel was a natural progression, and director Jared Hess, known for his work on Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, is returning to helm the project with the original cast.

Jason Momoa recently graced The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, sharing his enthusiasm for the upcoming sequel. He expressed his delight after reading the new script, stating, “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.” Momoa, who portrayed Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, a video game store owner who discovers his purpose in the Overworld, confirmed his return alongside Jack Black, who reprises his role as Steve, the game’s iconic character.
What to Expect from A Minecraft Movie 2
Jared Hess has shared intriguing insights regarding the sequel, hinting at exciting developments that fans can anticipate. The first film included a post-credit scene featuring a significant character from the game, Alex, who serves as the female counterpart to Steve. Hess has clarified that in A Minecraft Movie 2, Steve and Alex will be portrayed as distinct individuals. While Jack Black returns as Steve, Alice May Connolly made a brief appearance as Alex in the post-credit scene, with Kate McKinnon providing a vocal cameo. The casting for Alex in the sequel remains unannounced, but the post-credit scene teased further adventures.
In this scene, Alex resides in Steve’s former home, where a mysterious chest is discovered. Fans speculate that this chest may be an Ender Chest, a unique item in the game that allows players to access their inventory across different dimensions. This element could potentially lead characters into the enigmatic End dimension, home to the formidable Ender Dragon. Hess remarked, “It’ll be so much fun to go back into the world. The fans are just having such a good time. We teased it in the end credits, and the fans seem to be going wild for it.”
As anticipation builds, the community is eager to engage in discussions about the sequel’s direction and its connection to the beloved game. What are your thoughts? Join the conversation in the ComicBook Forum!
