Minecraft: The Movie is set to hit cinemas on April 4, 2025. Directed by Jared Hess, best known for Napoleon Dynamite, the film stars Jack Black as Steve, the beloved Minecraft character, and Jason Momoa as Garrett Garrison, a former gaming champion turned villain. The movie follows a group of characters who find themselves transported into the pixelated world of Minecraft, where they must navigate its blocky landscapes and face various challenges.
The trailer for the film dropped on February 27, 2025, offering fans a first look at its unique visual style and the adventure that lies ahead. It’s a fun and intriguing glimpse into what promises to be a visually immersive experience.
At the moment, Minecraft: The Movie is available exclusively in theatres. There’s no word yet on when it will be available on streaming platforms like Netflix or Disney+. Given that it’s a Warner Bros. film, though, it’s likely that it will eventually stream on Max (formerly HBO Max). Following patterns from other Warner Bros. releases, it might be available for digital purchase or rental by late April 2025, with streaming possibly starting in early June.
The cast also features Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Jennifer Coolidge, and Jemaine Clement. While the film has garnered some praise for its stunning visuals, reviews have been mixed, with some critics noting that while it’s visually captivating, the narrative could be stronger. Whether it lives up to the Minecraft legacy or not, it’s bound to be a visual treat for fans of the game and newcomers alike.
