Following the success of LEGO movies, a first-of-a-kind Minecraft film adaptation has garnered attention from both children and adults. A Minecraft Movie is an upcoming adventure comedy based on the popular sandbox game by Mohjang Studios. It is directed by Jared Hess and has a star-studded cast which includes Jason Momoa, Jack Black, and Emma Myers. The film is slated for release in the United States on April 4, 2025, after being reportedly postponed by Warner Bros because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A Minecraft Movie: What Is The Story?
A Minecraft Movie has four main characters, namely Garett, Henry, Natalie, and Dawn. According to the synopsis provided by Warner Bros, a mysterious portal sucks them into the virtual cubic Overworld of Minecraft and they are forced to adapt and survive. The teaser trailer shows Garrett creating objects with his imagination while the characters enjoy and comprehend the unique world.
The Minecraft movie also stars Jack Black in the role of an expert crafter named Steve. Together, with the other adventures, they try to survive and get back in the real world. The Overworld is full of challenges, including aggressive piglins and zombies, but there are docile creatures like llamas. In Minecraft, the llamas are tamable and used to transport goods, a feature that could get a shout out in the movie.
What Is Jason Momoa’s Role In The Minecraft Movie?
Jason Momo will be in the role of Garrett Garrison in the Minecraft movie. Garrett used to be a garbage man before being transported to the Overworld by a portal. He will seemingly have the larger role in the film, judging by the teaser, and there will be lots of action, as one would expect from a movie starring the Aquaman lead actor.
Other notable actors that are part of the Minecraft movie are Sebastian Hansen (Henry), Emma Myers (Natalie), and Danielle Brooks (Dawn). Jack Black, renowned for his voiceover of Po in Kung Fu Panda, was added to the cast in January 2024. The shooting and preparation for the film ended in April as disclosed by Jason Momoa on Instagram.
The White Lotus actress Jennifer Coolidge is also part of the film although in an undisclosed role. More information about the characters will be provided by Warner Bros in the coming months.
