Kirsten Dunst Pitches Herself for ‘Minecraft 2,’ Citing Paycheck Appeal

Her pitch follows the film’s near–$1 billion run that spurred early sequel chatter.

Overview

  • In a Town & Country cover interview published Wednesday, Dunst said she would gladly join a sequel and joked, “Maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money?”
  • She noted her two young sons loved A Minecraft Movie, which helped drive her interest in a family-friendly blockbuster.
  • A Minecraft Movie has earned roughly $955 million worldwide and remains 2025’s top domestic grosser despite lukewarm reviews.
  • Director Jared Hess has said there have been talks about a follow-up, though no sequel has been greenlit or cast.
  • Dunst continues to balance auteur projects with commercial work, with Roofman set to premiere at TIFF before an Oct. 10 theatrical release.
