The long-awaited Minecraft movie is definitely coming in April 2025… This time for sure

Wake up baby, the release date of the new Minecraft movie just dropped.

It is said that good things come to those who wait. Apparently Minecraft movies are coming too, as it has been announced that the long-awaited Warner Bros film adaptation is set to hit the big screen in 2025.

According to a report by Deadline, the Jared Hess-directed film has been assigned a tentative release date of April 4, 2025. The struggling live-action interpretation has undergone several changes of direction over the years, and should that happen, it currently has Jason Momoa cast in a leading role.

For those who are busy circling their calendar (which begs the question of why even have a 2025 calendar in the first place), perhaps it would be best to temper your expectations, as this project has been growing in one form or another for about a decade.

At one point, Steve Carell was in talks to play the lead, while directing duties were split between the likes of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Peter Sollette and Rob McElhenney.

Exactly what this rumored Minecraft movie will entail is unclear, but if it manages to actually cross the finish line with the likes of Hess and Momoa, it has all the makings of an absolute blockbuster – and yes, that pun was 110%. intentionally.

Before you question the validity of the license’s potential to carry a feature-length narrative, we just have to remind you that The Emoji Movie was a thing that grossed over $217 million at the global box office. And people say modern cinema is dead.
