The movie, set to hit theaters in 2025, promises to bring the blocky world we all know and love to life, and judging by the early excitement, it’s going to be an epic adventure.
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, A Minecraft Movie is the first-ever live-action adaptation of Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time.
Minecraft Movie Cast
With a star-studded cast, the Overworld is about to get a whole lot more exciting. Here is what we know so far about the Minecraft Movie cast:
- Jason Momoa is playing Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison.
- Jack Black will play Steve, the iconic character from the Minecraft game.
- Danielle Brooks portrays Dawn, one of the main characters in the adventure.
- Emma Myers will play Natalie, rounding out the main 4 characters showcase in the Minecraft trailer.
- Sebastian Eugene Hansen will play the role of Henry.
Other star-studded names that we plan to see: Jennifer Coolidge, Jemaine Clement, and Kate McKinnon have also joined the cast, though their specific roles have yet to be disclosed.
What’s the Story?
Directed by Jared Hess (Nacho Libre), the film introduces us to four unlikely heroes: Garrett, Henry (played by Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Myers), and Dawn (played by Danielle Brooks, The Color Purple). These everyday misfits find themselves pulled into a strange portal that drops them into the Overworld, a bizarre and pixelated wonderland.
But surviving in Minecraft isn’t as easy as crafting a bed or punching some trees. Our heroes quickly discover they’ll need to master the game’s unique mechanics—think Piglins, Zombies, and the ever-dreaded Creepers—to get back home.
With Steve’s help (and some quick crafting skills), they embark on an epic quest that tests their creativity, courage, and teamwork. Along the way, they learn the very same qualities they need to thrive in the real world, all while keeping the Overworld safe from the forces of evil.
The Star-Studded Team Behind the Scenes
This movie isn’t just about what happens on-screen; the talent behind the camera is equally impressive. The film’s production design is led by Oscar-winner Grant Major (The Lord of the Rings), and the special effects team is headed by Dan Lemmon (The Jungle Book).
Combine this powerhouse team with a score by Mark Mothersbaugh (Thor: Ragnarok, LEGO® Movies), and we’re in for a cinematic treat that promises to push the boundaries of live-action adaptations.
Minecraft Movie Release Date
Mark your calendars: the Minecraft Movie hits theaters and IMAX screens across North America on April 4, 2025, with an international release starting April 2.
From the looks of the trailer, this blocky adventure is going to be one of the biggest movie events of the year, combining the creativity of Minecraft with the humor, action, and heart that fans expect.
The buzz is building, and with nearly 4 million views in just the first few hours, the Minecraft Movie is already on track to be a blockbuster hit. So, grab your pickaxes, stock up on some snacks, and get ready to dive headfirst into the Overworld—because in 2025, it’s not just about surviving, it’s about thriving! #MinecraftMovie
