Will there be a Minecraft Movie 2? Sequel teased after box office success and post-credit scenes

Following a strong box office debut, A Minecraft Movie appears to be setting the stage for a potential sequel.

Featuring Jack Black as expert crafter Steve and Jason Momoa as Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, the film has generated early buzz not only for its cast and storyline but also for its post-credit scenes that hint at another installment.

Based on Mojang Studios’ globally popular 2011 video game Minecraft, the film opened with $10.55 million in Thursday previews — the highest for a video game adaptation, narrowly beating Five Nights at Freddy’s 2023 record. Current estimates project a domestic opening weekend between $80 million and $100 million, according to Box Office Pro, exceeding Warner Bros.' original projection of $65 million.

With a production budget of $150 million, A Minecraft Movie is performing well financially and has already sparked discussions of a potential franchise. Warner Bros. seems prepared for this, as multiple end-credit scenes suggest more adventures ahead.

The final post-credit scene features Steve (Jack Black) returning to his old house, where he meets a new red-haired resident named Alex — a key playable character from the game — portrayed in an uncredited cameo by Kate McKinnon. This scene hints at a new journey in the Overworld and sets the foundation for Minecraft Movie 2.

While no official sequel has been confirmed, the film’s financial success and story continuation cues strongly suggest that Warner Bros. is planning future entries in what could become a long-running video game film series.

A Minecraft Movie is currently playing in theaters nationwide.
