Mojang Studios announced that the Minecraft film adaptation will remain faithful to the game and its community. The film, directed by Jared Hess, will feature a live-action approach that honors Minecraft modders and content creators. It will blend live-action with animation, inspired by adaptations like Pokémon Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog. The film introduces characters Steve, portrayed by Jack Black, Henry, played by Sebastian Eugene Hansen, and Garrett, portrayed by Jason Momoa, who navigate challenges in the Minecraft universe. The team aims to translate key game elements into a live-action format while preserving the essence of Minecraft. The film's release date is set for April 4, 2025.
