At Minecraft Live during TwitchCon Rotterdam, organizers revealed new details about the upcoming sequel to the Minecraft movie franchise.
The feature, now officially titled A Minecraft Movie: Squared, confirmed that production and key cast members are back on set.
The sequel’s logo was shown as part of the presentation, credited to Mojang and Warner Bros.
Event organizers confirmed that the character Alex will be portrayed by American actress Kirsten Dunst.
English actor Matt Berry was also officially announced; Berry previously appeared as a villager in the first Minecraft movie and is returning for the sequel.
These casting updates were presented alongside the new title and production status.
A Minecraft Movie: Squared is scheduled for a global theatrical release on July 23, 2027.
The film is being developed by the team behind the original adaptation in partnership with Mojang, the studio responsible for Minecraft, and distribution handled by Warner Bros.
The original Minecraft title has a long console and platform history, including a version available on Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop, which helped broaden the game’s mainstream visibility prior to its transition to film.
