Warner Bros. has unveiled the first look at the live-action film adaptation of one of the bestselling video games in history, Minecraft, coming to theaters on April 4, 2025.

In the first footage of the adaptation, Jack BBlack and Jason Momoa meet piglins and creepers as they navigate the ever-changing fantasy universe.

Directed by “Napoleon Dynamite” and “Nacho Libre” filmmaker Jared Hess, “A Minecraft Movie” also stars Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen and Jennifer Coolidge. 

Debuting in 2011, “Minecraft”  boasts 140 million monthly users and allows players to use colorful blocks to create 3D worlds. It has also spawned numerous spinoffs, like “Minecraft: Story Mode,” “Minecraft Earth,” “Minecraft Dungeons” and “Minecraft Legends.” 

Mojang Studios, the Swedish developer behind the game, was acquired by Microsoft in 2014 and will serve as a producer on the movie adaptation. Warner Bros. and Legendary are also backing the adaptation.

With “A Minecraft Movie,” Black has solidified his status as Hollywood’s go-to actor for game-to-screen stories, having starred in “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “Jumanji: The Next Level”, and “Borderlands.” Momoa, for his part, has starred in blockbuster franchises including “Aquaman,” “Dune”, and “Fast & Furious.”
