Jason Momoa has good news for Minecraft fans who have been waiting to find out what’s next in the Overworld block.
The actor has confirmed that a sequel to A Minecraft movie is officially moving forward and will begin production very soon, bringing you back to a world that clearly left a strong impression.
Momoa, who starred in the first film as professional gambler Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, shared the update during an appearance on Tonight’s show starring Jimmy Fallon.
Speaking openly about his excitement, he revealed how close the sequel is to starting.
“Very soon. Dude. Bro, end of April. They’re on it,” he said, adding that the new script had a big impact on him.
“The script is even better. It’s so good that I laughed out loud. It’s been a long time since I laughed out loud at a script. I was stumped by the first script, I’m laughing out loud with this one.”
The sequel was first confirmed in October, when Deadline reported that director Jared Hess would return to the helm A Minecraft 2 movieworking from a script written by Hess and Chris Galletta.
The film is currently scheduled for release on July 23, 2027.
Hess has previously expressed his excitement about continuing the story, especially after the first film’s record-breaking box office debut in April, which became Warner Bros.’ third-biggest opening of all time.
Reflecting on that success, Hess explained that the Minecraft universe still has a lot of room to explore.
He said the team had a lot of fun making this film and noted that the game world is so vast that many ideas were left untouched.
He added that returning for a sequel would be exciting, especially given the positive response from fans and the tease hidden in the end credits.
That preview included the introduction of another important character from the game.
As Hess confirmed, “It’s Steve (Jack Black) and Alex, and that’s the one we’ll bring to the table hands down.”
With production set to begin and the creative team energized, Momoa’s update indicates that Minecraft’s next adventure is officially loading.
