Streamer Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter has confirmed her cameo was cut from A Minecraft Movie, now in theaters. The popular content creator addressed the situation during a recent live stream, following speculation that her scene was removed after she criticized the film’s working environment and star Jason Momoa.

Prior to the movie’s release, Valkyrae revealed she had filmed a short cameo. She also alleged that she witnessed Momoa “mistreat” crew members, describing the atmosphere on set as “not a good work environment” and stating she would not feel comfortable continuing to work under those conditions.

With the film now released and her appearance missing, she commented during her stream, “As much as you guys saw the other creators that were in it, would have been the equal amount you saw me in it — which is 30 seconds.” She added, “So it’s okay. I would much rather not have 30 seconds than be sued.”

While Valkyrae didn’t confirm the exact reason her cameo was removed, many fans believe it may be linked to her earlier remarks about Momoa. Others speculate it could have been a standard editing decision, unrelated to the controversy. One fan even claimed to have spotted her briefly in a background shot, suggesting her appearance wasn’t fully edited out.

Despite early criticism and negative press, A Minecraft Movie has had a strong debut, posting one of the most successful opening days for a video game adaptation. Warner Bros. and Jason Momoa have yet to publicly address Valkyrae’s comments or the removal of her scene.
