Ever since the film came out, there has been some speculation around a potential A Minecraft Movie 2. So let's find out more about it.

Will there be A Minecraft Movie 2?

No, A Minecraft Movie 2 has not been confirmed by the makers. The studio might look into the final box office numbers of the film before greenlighting a sequel. Earlier, there have been sequels to films adapted from video games, including Sonic the Hedgehog.

The storyline and game revolve around imagination, so multiple possibilities can be explored in the sequel. We can expect Legendary and Warner Bros. to go ahead with a part two if the first film turns out to be a financial success.

There is a high chance of Jack Black returning as Steve. We can also expect some new characters to be introduced.

“Cale Boyter and Mary Parent at Legendary Pictures first approached me and they were wondering, ‘Hey, are you into the game? Do you know what this is?’ I’m thinking, Say no more! I love Minecraft. What an amazing space to build an epic adventure comedy.”

He also spoke about the subplot involving Jennifer Coolidge.

“I think parents are going to have a good time. We could have made a whole other movie with Jennifer Coolidge’s improvisations. We populated the whole movie with amazingly talented people. I think so much of the comedy is character-based, which hopefully translates to kids and parents alike.”
