A new video has been released for Minecraft's 15th anniversary starring both Jason Momoa and Jack Black, both of whom are wielding what appear to be props from the upcoming movie.
Almost everyone did a double-take when it was revealed that a live-action Minecraft movie was in production, and we were baffled even further by the casting of Jason Momoa and the news that Jack Black will be playing the iconic Steve. Everything about the movie feels cursed, from the strangely blocky set to the actors involved in the production, but despite all of our reservations, it's still going ahead.
In fact, we're less than a year away from the movie's dreaded release date, yet we still know very little about what the movie is about or what it will even look like. Thankfully, we did get a first look at the movie's take on the iconic Minecraft sword and pickaxe recently, thanks to a new video celebrating Minecraft's 15th anniversary.
In the video, Minecraft stars Jason Momoa and Jack Black take to what appears to be a set for the movie, before coming across a cake. Obviously, you can't tuck into a cake without the correct implements, and a sword and pickaxe are thrown at the duo from off-screen, which appear to be props from the movie itself. It would make sense anyway, given they're standing in an actual set.
From this very short video, we can see that both the sword and pickaxe have their classic designs, but have been altered and made more realistic since the movie is in live-action. They're still very blocky and jagged, so not exactly one hundred percent realistic, and it does once again raise the question as to what our main characters are going to look like if pretty much everything else is made out of cubes.
We shouldn't have to wait too long to find out though, as the Minecraft movie is still expected to hit theaters on April 4, 2025, barring any potential delays. We'll obviously get some proper trailers before release, so it's possible we might get our first good
