“A Minecraft Movie” Teaser Finds Jason Momoa and Jack Black in the Overworld
In the world of Minecraft, creativity is essential for survival.
Warner Bros. has unboxed the first teaser for A Minecraft Movie, starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black in the first big screen, live-action adaptation of the best-selling video game ever.
A Minecraft Movie comes from director Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre) and centers on Momoa’s Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison and pals Natalie (Emma Myers), Henry (Sebastian Eugen Hansen), and Dawn (Oscar-nominee Danielle Brooks), a group of regular people with regular problems who find themselves faced with a highly irregular (if geometric) problem after they’re sucked through portal and find themselves in the Overworld, a cubic fever dream that absorbs and thrives off imagination.
The Overworld is a wondrous place, but it’s not without its dangers. Piglins, Zombies, and more are also ambling around. So, too, is Steve (Black), a master crafter who will join the gang on their quest, helping them unleash their inner creativity to imagine themselves back home.
Hess deployed a top-notch creative team behind the camera, including DP Enrique Chediak (127 Hours), Oscar-winning production designer Grant Major (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King), and Oscar-winning VFX supervisor Dan Lemmon (The Jungle Book, The Batman).
Check out the teaser below. A Minecraft Movie hits theaters on April 4, 2025:
Here’s the official synopsis from Warner Bros.:
Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.
