Despite receiving average reviews, the original Minecraft Movie has become a significant box office success, nearing $1 billion globally. This success has led to the confirmation of a sequel set to release on July 23, 2027. Director Jared Hess will return to helm the sequel alongside Chris Galletta, who contributed to the original film’s script.

Background The initial movie faced criticism, holding a modest 47% critics consensus; however, audiences were far more receptive, ensuring a swift path to a sequel. Co-chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures, Mike De Luca, was eager to announce that plans for Minecraft Movie 2 were already underway after the film’s record-breaking opening weekend.

In addition, Jason Momoa, one of the film’s producers, is anticipated to return. Fans can expect familiar faces, especially given the film’s allure and popularity among younger viewers, which revolved around engaging elements like the chicken jockey.
