Following its massive success earlier this year, fans have been wondering when the sequel to the blockbuster hit, A Minecraft Movie, will be arriving in theaters.
Thanks to the chicken jockey memes and the fans of the game who rushed to theaters, A Minecraft Movie ended up being one of the highest-grossing films this year, with a box office of almost $1 billion. A sequel to the movie felt inevitable for the fans, and as we expected, the project was put into development weeks after its successful theatrical opening.
When is A Minecraft Movie 2 Coming Out in Theaters?
Warner Bros. finally confirmed that they are officially moving forward with a sequel to A Minecraft Movie. Jared Hess, who helmed the first film, is returning to direct the follow-up.
The movie is scheduled for release in theaters on July 23, 2027, making it one of the major summer releases that year. Interestingly, it will be opening on the same day as the release of The Simpsons Movie sequel.
So far, the plot details regarding the sequel are currently under wraps, but it will likely explore the other worlds and characters from the game that were not featured in the first movie.
Hess and Chris Galletta are currently working on the screenplay, with Legendary Pictures also returning to produce and finance the project. Jason Momoa is also returning to serve as producer.
The first A Minecraft Movie focused on four misfits who were suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into a bizarre cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination.
Who is Starring in A Minecraft Movie 2?
So far, no cast members are currently confirmed to be involved in A Minecraft Movie at the moment. However, considering that Momoa is returning as producer, he will likely reprise his role again.
It is likely that Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Sebastian Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge will also return in the sequel to reprise their roles from the first movie. After all, the post-credits scenes teased that there's more in store for their characters.
For now, fans should wait for more news and updates regarding the development of A Minecraft Movie 2 in the coming months.
