The first teaser for the upcoming Minecraft movie, creatively titled A Minecraft Movie has released.

Starring Jack Black as Steve and an expanded cast that includes Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks and Sebastian Eugene Hansen, A Minecraft Movie is slated for release April 4 2025 and is being directed by Jared Hess of Nacho Libre and Napoleon Dynamite fame. The plot revolves around four misfits who are pulled into Minecraft's Overworld where they must learn to survive and protect it from dangers to eventually return home.

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.

[gnmmarechal]

ehh I don't think this is gonna do well

 

[OilFreak]

Oh my god this is gonna be another fucking Borderlands movie

 

[DTApple]

Seems interesting!

 

[Cranesbill]

What the fuck

 

[Kioku]

At least with Borderlands there was a story to muck up. This just seems… pointless..

 

[Quore]

No fucking way

 

[linuxares]

People try to compare this to Borderlands? No kids will want to see it no matter what.

 

[Ryab]

ehh I don't think this is gonna do well

It will do well entirely off of popularity. Reviews who knows, but the IP is so popular it is bound to do well.

Jack Black as Steve is exactly how I feel with Kevin Hart as Roland in Borderlands, you can’t get a goofy celebrity playing a more serious character (I see Steve as a serious dude, a more down to Earth, chill, modest person, not . . . How Jack Black acts, y’know?)

 

[Robert Newbie]

I feel like, ever since Brütal Legend, Jack Black seems to be the default actor for these kinds of projects. (New Jumanji, Mario Movie, etc.) Kudos to his agent.

 

[DinohScene]

CGI gives me PTSD flashes of that sonic or pikachu movie.

 

[SylverReZ]

This is going to be another terrible cash grab just like any other video game movie tie-in.

 

[anindividual]

Okay but why. And Jack Black is really the go-to guy for video game movies, huh? I guess that makes sense given that he is actually into them.

 

[MysticStarlight]

Uhhh.. okay then?

 

[Sir Tortoise]

yikes

 

[DexterYeen]

It's a movie for kids, what did you expect guys?

You can have a movie targeted for kids, but still be amazing to adults, like I feel like Mario And Sonic did it well with their films, proving a point
