Minecraft Movie Sequel Revealed: "A Minecraft Movie Squared" Set for 2027

The much-anticipated sequel to *A Minecraft Movie* has finally been given its official title: *A Minecraft Movie Squared*. This announcement was made during the Minecraft Live event held in May 2026, creating a buzz among fans who have been eagerly awaiting more information since the sequel was first announced in October 2025.

The cast of the movie, including Jack Black and Jason Momoa, took to the stage in a video presentation that showcased behind-the-scenes footage from the film's set in the picturesque landscapes of New Zealand. Jack Black, who reprises his role as Steve, and Jason Momoa, returning as Garrett, opened the video, setting the stage for what looks to be an exciting continuation of the Minecraft cinematic universe.

One of the highlights of the announcement was the confirmation that Matt Berry, who previously lent his voice to the character Nitwit in the 2025 film, will be returning in a live-action capacity. However, Berry has kept the specifics of his new role under wraps, teasing fans with cryptic clues, including a joke about a shirt "Steve would not be wearing."

Joining the returning cast is Kirsten Dunst, who will portray the character Alex, and Danielle Brooks, who will reprise her role as Dawn. Brooks added to the excitement by teasing the introduction of new mobs in the sequel, with concept art revealing a Polar Bear mob.

Director Jared Hess and Mojang's chief creative officer Jens Bergensten also took the opportunity to announce a Minecraft Build Challenge. This event invites fans to construct their own creations, with the chance of having their builds featured in the movie's end credits, and finalists being invited to an early screening of the film. This initiative not only engages the community but also bridges the gap between the game and its cinematic adaptation.

While the behind-the-scenes video offered tantalizing glimpses of the film, many details remain shrouded in secrecy, as Jason Momoa admitted that most of the behind-the-scenes elements are "top secret." The sequel's release is slated for July 23, 2027, leaving fans with just over a year to speculate and anticipate what surprises *A Minecraft Movie Squared* will bring.
