Four misfits – Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks) – find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: the bizarre, blocky wonderland that we know and mine extensively love. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like piglins and zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

What is A Minecraft Movie about?
A synopsis for A Minecraft Movie reads, “Four misfits — Garrett 'The Garbage Man' Garrison, Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks) — find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination,” per People.
Grab your pickaxes because A Minecraft Movie is Hollywood's next big video game adaptation. That's right, Warner Bros. is taking Mojang Studios' classic sandbox title (aka one of the best open world games ever made) to put on the big screen in 2025.

And the studio isn't holding back, as A Minecraft Movie kickstarted with a preliminary budget of $150 million and has a shining A-Lister cast featuring the likes of Jason Momoa and Jack Black. Now, that may seem like a lot, but if you are a gamer, you know why Tinsel Town has set its eyes on Minecraft and doesn't mind investing in what could just be one of the best video game movies ever made.

Minecraft has sold over 300 million copies worldwide, is dearly beloved, and is a clear canvas for creativity. It's a game where you can make your own story. Luckily, we already know quite a bit about what A Minecraft Movie plans to do with its source material. So read below to learn more about the A Minecraft Movie release date, trailer, cast, and more.

Good news, everyone! After years of waiting, the A Minecraft Movie release date has finally been confirmed as April 5, 2025.

This date has been a long time coming, as talks of a Minecraft movie began back in 2014. And, back in 2023, there were filming delays due to the SAG-AFTRA strike that was going on at the time. Luckily, it looks like there won't be any more push backs since production wrapped in April 2024. So mark your calendars because 2025 is basically set in stone (or should we say Obsidian).

A Minecraft Movie trailer

We got the trailer for A Minecraft Movie on September 4, 2024, and let's just say fans have mixed feelings. In the clip above, we see a bunch of people getting pulled into the world of Minecraft, complete with questionable-looking sheep, Piglins out for blood, and Jack Black as the iconic character Steve.

The teaser is short but also came out a month after the poorly received video game movie Borderlands (read our Borderlands review for more information on that Hollywood fumble), so it's been met with a lot of folks already worried that the upcoming adaptation won't do the world of Minecraft justice.

There's been some complaints about the look of the film and to be fair, the sheep showcased in the teaser are pure nightmare fuel. However, the trailer is still fun, captures the blocky aesthetic of the game, and (most importantly) is too short to make any firm judgment on its overall quality just yet.

We should get a more in-depth trailer closer to April 2025, so until then, check out the clip above for yourself and decide if ugly animated animals are truly a deal breaker for you.

A Minecraft Movie plot

If you've played Minecraft, you'll know that the game doesn't really have a story. Sure, we've had spin-offs like Telltale Games's point-and-click Minecraft: Story Mode, but really, Minecraft is all about using your imagination to craft whacky homes for Creepers to blow up when you least expect them to.

Part of its appeal is that you are free to do as you please instead of following a linear story. Luckily, A Minecraft Movie has recognized this fact and is taking more of a Jumanji approach with its plot.

The film will follow four "misfits" who find themselves thrown into the Overworld. To get back to the real world, they enlist the help of the master crafter Steve (aka, the blue shirt-wearing mascot of the Minecraft franchise) and use their creativity to overcome various challenges, such as zombies and Piglins.

Jared Hess, who previously helmed Napoleon Dynamite, directed the upcoming movie, so we expect that the story will have plenty of comedy in it as well. If you want to know more about the original game ahead of seeing the film's story, you can read our Minecraft review.

A Minecraft Movie is packed with A-listers. Playing Steve, we have Jack Black, and Jason Momoa is taking a step away from the DC movies to play Garrett (aka The Garbage Man).

We also know that Emma Myers from Wednesday is in the film, as is the Orange Is the New Black star Danielle Brooks. However, there are also a lot of big celebrity names whose characters haven't been announced yet.

Read the full A Minecraft Movie cast list down below:

Jason Momoa as Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison
Jack Black as Steve
Emma Myers as Natalie
Danielle Brooks as Dawn
Sebastian Eugene Hansen as Henry
Jennifer Coolidge
Kate McKinnon
Jemaine Clement
Matt Berry
Fans have speculated that Jennifer Coolidge will be voicing the Minecraft villagers, as her iconic voice would be perfect for the role. But besides that speculation, the remaining mystery characters don't have many leads. We'll keep you posted as more casting news heads our way.

Finally, the first live-action ‘A Minecraft Movie’ trailer has been released, and many fans aren’t happy. Directed by Jared Hess, it stars Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge.

The film follows four eccentric characters – Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks) – who find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld. In other words, they enter the world of Minecraft, a strange, cubic universe that thrives on imagination. It’s slated to hit theaters in the US on April 4, 2025.

They should’ve made it look like the Minecraft update trailers, with actual Minecraft characters and footage that ACTUALLY looks like Minecraft. In my opinion, story mode actually looked good, and captured the essence of early Minecraft very well, but this? this is incomparable. The closest thing this looks similar to are those Minecraft but in real life videos from 2015-2016,” said one commenter.
It seems like we’ve been talking about a Minecraft movie for years now here at Nintendo Wire. But now, after years of waiting, the very first trailer for the Minecraft movie is here!

Who will star in the Minecraft Movie?

Besides Jack Black, other announced cast members include Wednesday’s Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks (Peacemaker, Orange is the New Black), and Sebastian Eugene Hansen. It was also confirmed that Jason Momoa will star in the film in an unannounced role.

Who’s Making the Minecraft Movie?

The latest in a new wave of video game adaptations, Minecraft is being worked on by a veritable smorgasbord of companies, including Warner Bros., Vertigo Entertainment, Legendary, and, somehow, Jason Mamoa’s clothing brand, On The Roam. Minecraft will be directed by Jared Hess (Nacho Libre, Napoleon Dynamite), though the writing team is still unannounced.

When is the Minecraft Movie Coming Out?

The Minecraft Movie is set to release on April 4th, 2025.
An official teaser for the Minecraft movie has been revealed!

Movie Synopsis:
As four outsiders – Garrett Garrison, aka ‘the garbage man’ (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers), and Dawn (Danielle Brooks) – struggle with their daily problems, they suddenly cross a mysterious portal and are transported to the Overworld – a strange cubic world fueled by imagination. To return home, they must master this world (and protect it from evil creatures like Piglins and Zombies), while embarking on a magical quest alongside Steve, an expert builder (Jack Black). This adventure will push them to be bold and to use their unique creative qualities, which they will need to thrive in the real world.
