The live-action Minecraft movie has its first teaser trailer and an official title.
What is the live-action Minecraft movie called?
The official title for the Minecraft movie is, quite fittingly, A Minecraft Movie. Starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, Warner Bros. and Legendary will release the film in theaters on April 4, 2025.
“Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers), and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world,” says the synopsis.
