Minecraft 2 Reportedly Starts Filming May 1 in New Zealand

by

A sequel to A Minecraft Movie is reportedly moving ahead quickly.

According to Page Six, Minecraft 2 is on track to begin filming May 1 in New Zealand.

This new movie comes after the huge success of the first one, which is now considered one of the best video game adaptations of all time.

The Minecraft Movie is currently a major box office success, earning almost $1 billion worldwide and topping the charts in the United States.

Jason Momoa And Jack Black Returning

The sequel is expected to bring back the stars of the first movie.

According to IMDb, Jason Momoa and Jack Black are expected to reprise their roles in the upcoming Minecraft movie, but the complete cast list hasn’t been confirmed yet.

I remember when the movie first came out, Jason Momoa played this cool, rough character named Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, and Jack Black was absolutely perfect as Steve – you know, the Steve from Minecraft! It was so fun seeing him bring that iconic character to life.

More casting announcements are expected as production gets closer.

Jared Hess Returns To Direct

Jared Hess is also set to return to direct the sequel.

Hess directed the first film, which became a box office hit and particularly resonated with younger viewers and families, exceeding industry expectations.

I was so excited to see a movie based on Minecraft! The game, created by Mojang, is still one of the biggest sellers ever, and it’s awesome to see that world come to life on the big screen.

Release Date

Minecraft 2 is currently scheduled to be released in theaters on July 23, 2027.

I’m hearing production on the sequel is set to kick off May 1st, which is fast! Warner Bros. is clearly eager to capitalize on the massive success of the original and get this follow-up made quickly.
