Kirsten Dunst has her eyes on the green prize.
The “Roofman” star, 43, candidly admitted that she wants to be in the sequel to “A Minecraft Movie” — or any project that gives her bank account a much-needed boost.
“Maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money,” Dunst quipped in an interview with Town & Country.
The Oscar nominee threw her hat into the ring for a potential second film after the summer movie struck gold at the box office — becoming the highest-grossing film domestically in 2025, according to Forbes.
The New Jersey native said her sons, Ennis, 7, and James, 4 — whom she shares with husband Jesse Plemons — loved the first live-action film based on the popular video game.
Still, the “Bring It On” actress did not specify which kind of role she would prefer to take on in the movie.
Dunst boasts a resume full of action-packed projects, including the 1995 film “Jumanji,” the 2000s “Spider-Man” films and most recently, “Civil War.”
The actress that her upcoming film “Roofman,” in which she stars alongside Channing Tatum and Peter Dinklage, did not have a big budget.
The “Marie Antoinette” actress appeared in only two movies since 2020, and said her gap in between films was due to waiting “for the right director to ask” her to join a project she was passionate about.
Warner Bros. Pictures co-chairmen and CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy confirmed in the spring that “A Minecraft Movie” sequel was being developed “imminently.”
“The ink might not be dry on the deals yet, but imminently,” De Luca confirmed to Deadline in April 2025, reminding fans that the “creative process” could take time.
“The project was here for 12 years, and had trouble getting made,” De Luca said. “I think Pam and I did our jobs well, recognizing that it should be fast-tracked.”
“I think Jesse Ehrman is an unsung hero here. That should be hung from the rafters, how he kept this thing alive for those 12 years, through multiple regimes. That is hard to do,” he added.
De Luca continued praising Ehrman, the President of Production and Development at Warner Bros. Pictures, saying, “He never didn’t believe in it, and he kept the faith.”
Jason Momoa, who led the first flick with Jack Black, told Extra in March that he’d be open to reprising his role as Garett Garrison.
“We’ll call it ‘Another Minecraft Movie’ and then we’ll call it ‘And Another Minecraft Movie,’” he said at the time.
