The sequel to the Minecraft movie already has a title and release date. It will be called A Minecraft Movie Squared and will hit theaters in July 2027. Kirsten Dunst will play Alex, the game's female character, while Matt Berry will have a larger role as a mysterious human. The big news is an official contest for players to submit their builds, with the winning entry appearing in the end credits.
Technical details and mechanics of the building contest 🎮
The contest will allow players to submit their Minecraft creations through a digital platform to be announced soon. A selection committee will evaluate the builds based on criteria such as originality, scale, and technical complexity. The winning work will be rendered and integrated into a specific scene of the film, later appearing in the end credits. Participants must have an original license for the game and reside in countries where the film is released. Builds using unofficial mods or copyrighted textures will not be accepted.
Alex and the mysterious human: the cast no one asked for but everyone will see 🎭
Kirsten Dunst as Alex is a casting choice that promises much, though many wonder if the actress from Melancholia can survive a cubic world without suffering an existential panic attack. And Matt Berry, with his deep, theatrical voice, will play a mysterious human. Most likely, his character will appear, shout something incomprehensible in a British accent, and disappear among stone blocks. The wait until 2027 will be long, but at least we can blame our clumsy fingers if the build we submit doesn't make it on screen.
