In a surprising flip of occasions, this 12 months’s field workplace smash hit A Minecraft Film is formally getting a sequel. I wager you could not probably have seen that one coming.
In response to a Deadline report, A Minecraft Film 2 (which most likely will not be its ultimate title, if solely as a result of One other Minecraft Film is staring the filmmakers proper within the face) is ready for launch on July twenty third, 2027.
A Minecraft Film director Jared Hess will as soon as once more helm the sequel, and the script is being written by Hess and Chris Galletta, the latter of whom was one of many 5 writers for the primary Minecraft film. Whether or not extra writers will be part of the sequel in future stays to be seen.
We do not know whether or not any solid members from A Minecraft Film will return for the sequel.Naturally, for the reason that film is properly over a 12 months and a half away from launch, different particulars in regards to the undertaking are scarce proper now, so we do not know whether or not actors like Jack Black and Jason Momoa shall be reprising their roles in A Minecraft Film 2.
Equally, we do not know what sort of narrative route the sequel will take, however Deadline says “the excitement” across the undertaking is that “there have been at all times different worlds to construct out and characters within the Minecraft-verse”, so there ought to be at the very least a number of new faces within the film.
Should you missed the unique A Minecraft Film, it was launched earlier this 12 months, and whereas it hasn’t damaged $1 billion on the field workplace but, it is simply the highest-grossing film within the US domestically, in addition to the second highest-grossing film of the 12 months all over the world.
The film is actually an isekai story during which 4 misfits are dragged right into a blocky world of creativity and should escape with the assistance of Jack Black’s charismatic Steve. I actually was not a fan of the film’s first trailer, however hey, $420 million is nothing to smell at.
The Minecraft film sequel joins a number of different video game-related movie tasks at the moment within the works, together with diversifications of the likes of Name of Obligation, Bloober Crew’s horror recreation The Medium, and The Legend of Zelda, the latter of which can also be due for a 2027 launch.
