Stars Jack Black and Jason Momoa revealed the news during a recent live stream, and promised the new movie will explore even more of the game’s rich story when it’s released on July 23, 2027.

The first movie was a huge financial success, breaking records for video game adaptations with a $163 million opening weekend in the US and Canada and eventually earning almost $960 million globally. Now, director Jared Hess is back to make the sequel, having co-written the script with Chris Galletta. The main characters will return, including Kevin Black as the skilled builder Steve and Jason Momoa as former esports star Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison.

Although the exact story is still a secret, the actors have hinted that the upcoming movie will feature brand-new environments and delve deeper into the world of Minecraft. The returning cast, including Danielle Brooks, Matt Berry, and Jennifer Coolidge, will be joined by Kirsten Dunst, a well-known actress who will play Alex, the female character often seen alongside Steve. She takes over the role from Kate McKinnon, who briefly played Alex in a short scene after the first movie ended.

Alongside the announcement of the new movie, Warner Bros. and Legendary are launching a special contest to connect with the huge Minecraft community. Fans can submit their own Minecraft builds, and the winning design will be included in the movie itself or shown during the end credits. The winner will also get a private screening of the film.

Filming is happening now in New Zealand, and fans around the world are already helping to shape the project, meaning everything is in place for a blockbuster movie. A Minecraft Movie Squared is set to be released in theaters globally on July 23, 2027.
