Directed by Jared Hess (Nacho Libre), the Minecraft Movie live-action adaptation is set to hit theaters next year. Starring Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Emma Myers (Wednesday), and Jennifer Coolidge, the film follows four misfit characters—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Myers), and Dawn (Danielle Brooks). They’re unexpectedly transported through a portal into Minecraft’s iconic Overworld, a dazzling cubic land filled with Piglins, Zombies, and endless opportunities for creativity. With help from expert crafter Steve (Black), the group must embrace their imaginations to survive the challenges of this world and make their way back home.

The movie brings a dynamic creative team, including Oscar-winning VFX supervisor Dan Lemmon (The Jungle Book), BAFTA-nominated cinematographer Enrique Chediak (127 Hours), and composer Mark Mothersbaugh (Thor: Ragnarok). Jared Hess teams up with producers Roy Lee, Mary Parent, Jason Momoa, and more to deliver a visually stunning and emotionally engaging cinematic experience.

The Overworld will be brought to life with cutting-edge effects and intricate designs from Oscar-winning production designer Grant Major (The Lord of the Rings). The ensemble cast, paired with a powerhouse production team, promises a magical adventure packed with humor, heart, and nostalgia.

Minecraft fans can expect thrilling action, beloved in-game elements, and a celebration of the creativity that has defined the game for over a decade. Whether you’re a hardcore player or a casual fan, A Minecraft Movie is shaping up to be an unforgettable cinematic adventure for all ages. Be sure to mark your calendars for April 4, 2025.
