Jack Black is set to star in yet another big video game movie adaptation, as it's being reported that the actor will play Steve in the upcoming Minecraft movie.
According to Deadline, production on the Minecraft movie is getting underway ahead of its planned release date of April 4, 2025, with sources claiming that Jack Black is set to star as the one and only Steve. Black is now the second high-profile actor to be included as part of the production, with Aquaman star Jason Momoa already confirmed as the leading role.
Even though we're only a little over a year out, we still don't know what the plot of the Minecraft movie will be or what role Black will play as Steve. We know that it's supposedly live-action rather than fully animated, and that the movie will feature a young girl and her group of pals who go on an adventure to stop the Ender Dragon, according to IMDB.
We also know that Wednesday star Emma Myers will be playing an unknown role in the movie, as will Peacemaker star Danielle Brooks and Sebastain Eugene Hansen, who will supposedly play characters called Dawn and Henry respectively. That's about all the information we have on the movie at the moment as things are being kept under wraps, though Jack Black's involvement does make things a little more interesting.
