Minecraft Movie Sequel Possible?

by

There’s exciting news about a possible follow-up to “A Minecraft Movie“. Director Jared Hess recently hinted at this development. The film, which was adapted from the popular video game, performed exceptionally well at the box office. It not only surpassed expectations by debuting as number one in U.S. and Canadian cinemas, but also grossed an estimated $157 million there, along with another $144 million internationally. This means a grand total of $301 million worldwide on its opening weekend. Such impressive numbers could persuade Warner Bros. to consider expanding the blockbuster into a series, and it appears that the director is open to the idea of growing this project further.

In a chat with GamesRadar, Hess expressed enthusiasm about potentially creating a follow-up to The Minecraft Movie. He highlighted that the expansive, enchanting sandbox world of the beloved video game was barely touched upon in the initial film, leaving much of the pixelated paradise unexplored. “It would be such a blast,” he commented on returning to the blocky universe of Minecraft for another big-screen adventure. “After all, the world is infinite and full of endless possibilities, like countless fascinating mods, characters, and landscapes yet to be discovered – it would be incredible!

In a movie titled “A Minecraft Adventure“, we follow a quartet of unlikely heroes: Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), his sister Natalie (Emma Myers), Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Jason Momoa), and Dawn (Danielle Brooks). They find themselves mysteriously transported into an unusual, block-based environment. Along with them on their extraordinary journey is Steve (Jack Black), a character from the game who assists them in navigating the terrain and finding their way back home. The story mainly unfolds in the Overworld, yet it also delves into the terrifying realm of The Nether, Minecraft’s depiction of hell, governed by swine-like beings called Piglins. Hess, captivated by this aspect of the game, decided to focus on exploring it initially.

I’m really captivated by the Piglins! I find them intriguingly strange, humorous, and even slightly disgusting at times. Their barbarian culture fascinates me, with its peculiarities. They are cannibals, but have an unusual fondness for gold. I believe they could make great, engaging villains. However, there’s also a unique story behind them.

Does ‘A Minecraft Movie’ Have a Post-Credits Scene?

In the film based on Minecraft, there are not only mid-credit sequences but also post-credit scenes. The second bonus scene offers a thrilling cameo by a well-known character from the game, one that ardent fans will quickly identify, although it’s merely a brief and enigmatic debut. This unexpected appearance of a familiar face at the movie’s close, combined with the limited settings in the storyline, subtly hints at the potential for a sequel, despite no official announcement regarding another installment as of yet.

The likelihood of a follow-up film depends on the initial movie’s overall performance. Despite mixed reviews from critics, who found the storyline to be overly silly and repetitive, audiences seem to enjoy it more. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film received a 47% approval rating from critics, but an impressive 87% audience score on Popcornmeter suggests that people might return for another installment if future films are made with similar elements.
