The highly anticipated trailer for Warner Bros.' A Minecraft Movie has finally been released, giving fans their first look at the live-action adaptation of the popular video game. The film, directed by Jared Hess, is the first big-screen adaptation of Minecraft, the best-selling video game in history, having sold over 300 million copies worldwide.
With a star-studded cast that includes Jack Black as the iconic character Steve and Jason Momoa as a new character, Garrett 'The Garbage Man' Garrison, the trailer teases a CGI-heavy, adventure-filled storyline that should appeal to both Minecraft fans and general audiences.
In the trailer, Jack Black plays Steve, the expert crafter who leads the group of misfits on their quest. Black, known for his diverse comedies and animated films roles, brings his energetic personality to this iconic character.
Steve is a playable character in the Minecraft video game, and his role in the film will be critical in guiding the group through the dangers of Minecraft's cubic, blocky world.
Black is no stranger to video game adaptation. He previously voiced Bowser in The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023), and his performance earned him a Billboard Hot 100 hit with the song Peaches.
Black also portrayed Claptrap in the Borderlands film, adding to his growing list of video game-related roles. This time, his portrayal of Steve adds a new dimension to the game's beloved character, giving fans something familiar but new.
Jason Momoa stars as Garrett 'The Garbage Man' Garrison. Momoa's character, while not directly from the game, provides an interesting dynamic to the story. Garrison is one of four misfits drawn into the Minecraft world. Along with Steve, he must protect the Overworld from dangerous creatures such as Piglins and Zombies while also figuring out how to get home.
Momoa, best known for his role as Aquaman, adds an action-packed element to this new character. In the trailer, his character is shown adjusting to the strange world of Minecraft, where he must rely on his strength and creativity for survival.
The official storyline of A Minecraft Movie follows four misfits, Garrett Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers), and Dawn (Danielle Brooks), who are drawn into the world of Minecraft. They pass through a mysterious portal into the Overworld, a one-of-a-kind, cubic landscape powered by imagination and creativity.
The plot follows these four characters as they attempt to master the world of Minecraft and return home. Along the way, they encounter enemies such as Piglins and Zombies, but they are assisted by Steve, the expert crafter, who guides them through the blocky terrain.
Warner Bros.'s official description highlights the movie's themes of creativity and survival as it reads, “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).”
This will surely be a visual treat for all those Minecraft fans out there!
