A Minecraft Movie Squared is an upcoming sequel to A Minecraft Movie based on the video game Minecraft. The film is set to be directed by Jared Hess and written by Hess and Chris Galletta, and is slated to be released on July 23, 2027, by Warner Bros. Pictures.[1]
Plans for the film originated around April 11, 2025 following the success of A Minecraft Movie when it was reported by several outlets that a sequel was already in early development.[2][3]
Additionally, Jennifer Coolidge and Matt Berry have been cast in undisclosed roles.[4]
On March 30, 2025, during the green carpet premiere of A Minecraft Movie, Jared Hess expressed interest in the idea of making a sequel, noting the world's use of infinite mods, characters, and biomes, outlining how Minecraft is virtually endless.[5][6] He later stated that there were many ideas they had for the film that they were unable to use, but would likely be included as part of a sequel.[7]
On April 8, 2025, Jared Hess said that there were talks about a sequel in development.[8] On April 11, 2025, it was reported by several outlets that a sequel was in early development.[3] A day later, the CEO of Warner Bros. confirmed that there would be a follow-up film.[9] At the end of an interview released by The Art of VFX in May 2025 discussing the film, the VFX supervisor Sheldon Stopsack and the animation supervisor Kevin Estey both referred to a hypothetical sequel as "Another Minecraft Movie."[10] Some media outlets referred to the sequel as "A Minecraft Movie 2" or "Minecraft 2".[1][11]
On October 9, 2025, the official A Minecraft Movie Twitter account posted a teaser announcing that a sequel was set to release on July 23, 2027.[12] That same day, it was reported that Jared Hess would return to direct, while also writing the script alongside Chris Galletta. Cale Boyter, Roy Lee, Jason Momoa, Torfi Frans Olafsson, and Mary Parent are set to return as producers alongside Eric McLeod and Kayleen Walters.[1]
On March 19, 2026, it was reported that Jill Messick would be given a posthumous credit as a producer.[13]
On April 14, 2026, at CinemaCon 2026, the movie was reportedly referred to as A Minecraft Sequel.[14]
On May 30, 2026, during Minecraft Live, the name was officially revealed to be A Minecraft Movie Squared.[4]
On April 2, 2025, Jack Black and Jason Momoa were asked many questions in a Q&A for the film. Black was asked if he would be playing Herobrine in a sequel. His response was "Dude, you want to know if there’s Hero Brian in the sequel? We don’t know. We don't know... I hope so."[15]
On April 4, 2025, Emma Myers and Sebastian Hansen told Yahoo UK how likely they thought a sequel would be. Emma said that she would love to do as many as they want, saying "Oh yeah, please. Minecraft 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 — as many as they'll have me in I would love to do!" Sebastian revealed that it would be "great [to] keep it going" but also is unsure how it could go about because of the way in which the movie tells a story entirely new to the world of the game so that means a potential sequel could go anywhere and do anything, which is an overwhelming concept.[16]
In March 2026, it was reported that Kirsten Dunst would star in the film as Alex, with Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Matt Berry, and Jennifer Coolidge returning.[13]
Filming began on April 29, 2026 in New Zealand under the working title Obsidian.[17][18][19]
The film is being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and is currently slated to be theatrically released in North America on July 23, 2027.[1]
