A Minecraft Movie’s sequel, which was revealed in 2025 under the working title A Minecraft Movie 2, and it has an official name. Revealed during Minecraft Live, the sequel is called A Minecraft Movie Squared.
That’s not all–in a promotional video, actor Matt Berry appeared in a tease for his role in Squared. What that role is, however, remains a mystery. The What We Do in the Shadows actor was supposed to play Steve in the first movie, but had to play a smaller role–a villager who gets hit by a car and goes on a date with Jennifer Coolidge–due to scheduling conflicts.
Jack Black ultimately landed the role of Steve, and he will reprise the character in Squared. Jason Momoa, who played Garrett, is coming back in that role as well, while Danielle Brooks will reprise her character, Dawn.
Squared is currently filming in New Zealand. Black said in the video that there is a “massive team hard at work taking this production to the next level.” Brooks, for her part, said the sequel goes “so much deeper into the Minecraft world,” featuring new biomes, new characters, and new mobs.
Additionally, Kirsten Dunst joins Squared in the role of Alex. After the first movie came out in 2025, Dunst lobbied to be in the sequel because her kids love Minecraft and she wanted to make some big money.
A Minecraft Movie Squared releases on July 23, 2027. That’s a couple months after the live-action The Legend of Zelda movie arrives in April 2027.
A Minecraft Movie made $960.4 million in theaters. It ranked as the No. 2 highest-grossing video game movie ever until The Super Mario Galaxy Movie passed it with $992 million worldwide.
