New 'Minecraft' Movie Trailer Highlights Jack Black as Steve and Game-Inspired Adventures

The live-action adaptation of the world's best-selling video game is set for release in April 2025, featuring Jack Black and Jason Momoa in a quest through the Overworld.

The second trailer for 'A Minecraft Movie' offers a deeper look at the live-action adaptation, showcasing iconic game elements like Redstone contraptions, Ender Pearls, and blocky landscapes.
Jack Black plays Steve, a mining-obsessed crafter who leads a group of misfits through the Overworld to battle dark forces and find their way back home.
The film has faced criticism for its live-action approach, with fans questioning the departure from animation, though producers defend it as a creative choice to explore new dimensions of the Minecraft universe.
The trailer features nods to Minecraft's culture, including a reference to the viral 'The Children Yearn for the Mines' meme and familiar in-game mechanics like taming wolves and crafting.
The movie, directed by Jared Hess, stars Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and others, with its release confirmed for April 4, 2025, in North America.
