Who would have thought, right? Hollywood has sunk its teeth into another successful franchise and has decided that it won’t let go until it squeezes out every last dollar it can. So, if A Minecraft Movie grossed nearly 1 billion worldwide, what’s coming a couple of years later? Well, indeed, a sequel with the same characters and a few new actors. It couldn’t be any other way.
Fun to the power of three
The official title of the movie they will try to replicate the success with will be called, officially, A Minecraft Movie Squared. In other words, A Minecraft Movie Cubed. It is already known that all the actors from the previous one will return, the most interesting role will be played by Kirsten Dunst, that is, Alex, the female version of Steve, the protagonist of the video game. Hopefully, the usual complainers won’t start complaining.
Although the movie won’t be released until July 23, 2027, Warner and Legendary have already started the promotional campaign, asking players to build something in the video game that could appear in the movie’s end credits. What’s the prize? Not only to be seen, but also to have a private pass to the sequel. No, wait, why is the prize a punishment?
It would be rare if even before the release of this second part they are not already preparing the trilogy, laying the groundwork just in case something happens that makes Minecraft lose popularity in some strange way. It has been at the top for 15 years, so it will never be easy, but in the current landscape, you never know.
