Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures have released a teaser trailer for A Minecraft Movie, set to release in theaters next April. The film will star Jason Momoa, Jackk Black, Emma Myers, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, and Danielle Brooks, among others.
Check out the teaser trailer for A Minecraft Movie below:
“Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival,” the film’s synopsis reads.
“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: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination.
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.”
Minecraft was first released in 2011 and has become the best-selling video game in history, boasting over 300 million copies sold and 140 million monthly players as of 2023. Microsoft acquired Mojang and the game’s IP rights for $2.5 billion in 2014.
A Minecraft Movie is set to release in theaters and IMAX on April 4, 2025. An animated Minecraft series for Netflix is also currently in the works.
