‘A Minecraft Movie’ sequel officially announced; arriving in 2027

After being in some level of development for over a decade, Warner Bros. ‘A Minecraft Movie’ finally arrived earlier this year to middling critic reviews but a strong fan response. Most importantly (for WB), the film was a box office juggernaut – earning just shy of $1 Billion and landing as the 3rd highest grossing film of the year. As such, it comes as little surprise that a sequel has now been officially announced.

As reported by Deadline (and making the announcement via a teaser image showcasing two pickaxes), Warner Bros. officially confirmed that a sequel to ‘A Minecraft Movie’ is in the works.

Currently penned for the 23rd of July 2027, the sequel will see Jared Hess return as director while also serving as one of the screenwriters. Hess will also be joined by Chris Galletta (who helped write the screenplay for the first film).

Beyond this, little is known about the sequel, with the aforementioned screenplay said to be “under wraps”. However, it would not be surprising to see all the main cast from the first entry brought back for A Minecraft Movie 2 – or whatever it ends up being called.

Though it may have taken a decade for the first Minecraft film to come to fruition, Warner Bros. are clearly not wasting any time in trying to get the sequel out as soon as possible. It will be interesting to see just how much money the next film makes – and whether it will surpass the Billion Dollar mark.
