A new trailer for the Minecraft live-action movie has been released
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have released the second trailer for the Minecraft live-action movie, which is viewable above.
Following the release of a teaser trailer in September, the new trailer offers a longer look at the film, which will be released on April 2, 2025 internationally, and on April 4 in the US.
Helmed by Jared Hess, who previously directed Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, the film’s headline stars are Jack Black and Jason Momoa.
They’re joined by Emma Myers (Wednesday), Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), Sebastian Eugene Hansen (Just Mercy) and Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus), among others.
“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,” reads an official synopsis.
“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.”
It was revealed this week that Merlin Entertainments, the group behind Alton Towers, Peppa Pig World, Madame Tussauds and Legoland, has acquired the global theme park rights to Minecraft.
As part of the deal, two attractions are planned to open in the UK and the US in 2026 and 2027 respectively. These first attractions won’t be full-scale Minecraft theme parks, but will instead be included as themed areas in existing Merlin locations.
