Jason Momoa says 'Minecraft' sequel to go into production "very soon"

Jason Momoa announces the Minecraft sequel starts filming in April 2027, with Jared Hess returning to direct and an even funnier script.

"Very soon. Dude. Bro, end of April. They're in it. - Jason Momoa"

Washington DC, January 17

Actor Jason Momoa has shared an update on the sequel to 'A Minecraft Movie', saying production on the follow-up film is set to begin very soon, according to Deadline.

Momoa, who starred in the first film as champion gamer Garrett 'The Garbage Man' Garrison, revealed during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that the sequel is expected to go into production by the end of April.

"Very soon. Dude. Bro, end of April. They're in it," Momoa said, adding that the script has impressed him even more than the first. "The script is even better. It's so good, I was laughing out loud. I haven't laughed out loud in a very long time at a script. I was perplexed on the first script, this one I'm laughing out loud," he said, according to Deadline.

In October, Deadline reported that director Jared Hess will return to helm A Minecraft Movie 2, with a script penned by Hess and Chris Galletta. The sequel is slated for release on July 23, 2027.

Hess had earlier described the prospect of a sequel as "so much fun" following the first film's record-breaking box office performance. Released in April, A Minecraft Movie became Warner Bros' third-largest opening of all time.

"We had so much fun making this movie, and it's such an expansive world in the game," Hess said, noting that several elements from the game were left unexplored in the first instalment. "I would have a blast doing the sequel, and it seems like there's already talk about it happening," he added.

Hess also confirmed that the sequel will bring together key characters from the game, including Steve, played by Jack Black, and Alex, who was teased in the end credits of the first film, according to Deadline.

Interesting to see Hollywood doubling down on video game adaptations. The first one did well globally, including in India. Hope the sequel explores more of the game's creative mechanics.

Jason Momoa and Jack Black together again? That's pure entertainment. The first movie was surprisingly fun. Hope they keep the same energy and don't just cash in on the franchise.

As a parent, I appreciate these family-friendly films. It's a relief from all the violent content. My son loves Minecraft, so this is a guaranteed cinema trip for us. Good move by Warner Bros.

Respectfully, I found the first movie a bit too silly for my taste. The humour felt forced. Hope the "better script" means a more substantial story and not just more loud jokes. The game has a lot of potential for a good adventure plot.

July 2027 is so far away! But if they're starting production now, that gives them time to get it right. Excited to see Alex properly introduced. The end credits tease was clever.
