A Minecraft Movie, directed by Jared Hess and produced by Warner Bros., Legendary Pictures, and Vertigo Entertainment, is set to release on April 4, 2025. The film follows siblings Natalie and Henry as they navigate life in Chuglass after losing their parents. They encounter Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, a former video game champion, and inadvertently assemble the Orb of Dominance, leading them to miner Steve's cave entrance to the Overworld. They seek Steve's help to find a replacement Earth Crystal to return to reality while evading the piglin witch Malgosha. The film has five writers but struggles with subpar CGI and humor aimed at adults rather than its younger audience. It faces challenges in capturing the essence of Minecraft and connecting with its target demographic, with missed opportunities for engaging with the game's lore and prominent YouTubers.
