The A Minecraft Movie sequel officially has a title: A Minecraft Movie Squared. What’s more, we now know that Kirsten Dunst will star as Alex, the game’s female character option, and that Matt Berry is set to play an even bigger role in this film. He voiced Nitwit in the first movie, but in this one, he’ll be playing a human character. Who exactly he’ll be hasn’t been revealed yet, but in the clip below, he can be heard dismissing a costume choice because “Steve would not be wearing that,” suggesting he might be playing the Herobrine, a creepy pasta evil counterpart to Jack Black’s Steve.
The director, Jared Hess, and Mojang Chief Creative Officer, Jens Bergensten, also took the opportunity during the May Minecraft Live event to announce the Minecraft Movie Build Challenge. The contest will see players submit their most epic Minecraft creations, with the winning build being featured during the end credits. The full details for the contest can be found here. But you’ll have to wait until A Minecraft Movie Squared release date of July 23th, 2027 to see the winner on the big screen.
