Production
Background
Talks for a potential sequel to A Minecraft Movie began a few days after the film's release in April 2025.[1] In an interview with Variety, Legendary Entertainment's Chairman of Worldwide Production Mary Parent explained how the movie earned the "A" in its title, stating that "we're calling it 'A Minecraft Movie' because we're respecting the fact that there's no one story that drives the game". Director Jared Hess also included that the film is "not the official story" and that it is "just one of a zillion stories". In another interview, Hess expressed interest in making a sequel, noting the world's use of infinite mods, characters, and biomes, outlining how Minecraft is virtually endless.[2] On April 11, Warner Bros. Pictures reported that a sequel was in early development.[3][4] At the end of a behind the scenes interview of the first Minecraft film, the VFX supervisor Sheldon Stopsack and the animation supervisor Kevin Estey both refer to the film's sequel as Another Minecraft Movie.[5] The sequel was officially announced in October 2025, with a release date of July 23, 2027. Hess was announced to return as director, while Chris Galletta would return to write the script with Hess.[6] In January 2026, Jason Momoa revealed that he would be returning for the sequel.[7] In March 2026, it was announced that Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Coolidge, and Matt Berry would reprise their roles, while Kirsten Dunst joined the cast as Alex, replacing Kate McKinnon from the first film's post-credits scene.[8][9] Months prior, Dunst had spoken publicly about wanting to join the Minecraft film series as her children were fans of the game and first film.[10] In April 2026, it was announced at CinemaCon that the film would be titled A Minecraft Sequel.[11]
Filming
In January 2026, Momoa stated that principal photography was scheduled to begin in late April 2026.[7] Production was underway by May,[12] and a first look at filming, which took place in New Zealand, was shown at Warner Bros. Discovery's annual upfronts presentation.[13]
Release
A Minecraft Sequel is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 23, 2027.[6]
