Warner Bros. and Legendary are in the process of expanding their Minecraft franchise. They recently revealed that an unnamed sequel to A Minecraft Movie will hit the big screens on the 23rd of July, 2027.

Earlier this year, the video game adaptation became an astounding success by grossing a total of $957.8 million worldwide. This ranked it as the second highest grossing movie of the year. Following this victory, Warner Bros. kept the ball rolling by releasing an array of successful movies, including Sinners, Final Destination: Bloodlines, and Weapons.

Jared Hess, who directed the original movie, will be returning to helm the sequel. He will also be collaborating with Chris Galletta, who was one of the writers for the first movie, to write the sequel’s script. The producers of the movie will encompass an array of talent, including Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Roy Lee, Eric McLeod, Kayleen Walters, Torfi Frans Ólafsson, and Jason Momoa. Momoa was a part of the star-studded cast of the first movie.

Not only did the inaugural Minecraft movie feature Jason Momoa, but it also starred Jack Black, Sebastian Hansen, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Jennifer Coolidge.

The commercial success of Minecraft caught industry insiders off guard. They were aware that they were onto something big but did not anticipate the game adaptation grossing nearly a billion dollars. Besides the box office success, the movie became an online sensation, particularly among the teenage audience, who were enthralled by its memorable “chicken jockey” scene.

With its release in early April, the original movie raked in $163 million domestically, and an impressive $313 million worldwide. This stellar performance set a new record for the highest debut sales for a video game movie. This surpassed the record previously set by The Super Mario Bros. Movie, two years earlier. This sequel aims to continue setting new records and achieving high gains in the world of video game adaptations.
