A sequel to Warner Bros. and Legendary’s A Minecraft Film has gotten a brand new title: A Minecraft Film Squared.
In a joint Instagram put up Saturday with the studios and Minecraft, the brand new official title was revealed. “Ready for another adventure? The world of #Minecraft is expanding once again with A Minecraft Movie Squared!,” the put up reads partly.
The Hollywood Reporter beforehand reported that Jared Hess, who directed final yr’s movie, is ready to return to direct the online game adaptation and is penning the script with Chris Galletta, one of many authentic scribers. Producers will embrace Mary Mother or father, Cale Boyter, Roy Lee, Eric McLeod, Kayleen Walters, Torfi Frans Ólafsson and Jason Momoa.
Momoa, Jack Black, Sebastian Hansen, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks and Jennifer Coolidge starred within the original movie. Kirsten Dunst has joined the sequel.
A Minecraft Film was an enormous field workplace success, grossing $957.8 million globally and have become the second highest grossing film of 2025.
Nevertheless, the movie’s critiques have been blended. “The most disappointing aspect of A Minecraft Movie, isn’t that it’s born out of an existing IP. We live in a world of low-effort reboots, unnecessary remakes and movies operating as extensions of corporate brands. Another one of these gluttonous projects is hardly surprising. What makes A Minecraft Movie so dispiriting is how it fails to spark the imagination, betraying a core tenet of the game on which it’s based,” reads THR’s review, earlier than including, “For Minecraft novices like this critic, A Minecraft Movie succeeds when showing off the game’s potential and championing the value of maintaining a childlike wonder in a bleak world.”
A Minecraft Film Squared is slated to launch in theaters July 23, 2027.
