Minecraft movie trailer offers first official glimpse of Jack Black’s Steve, Jason Momoa’s The Garbage Man and more

The debut trailer for the Minecraft movie has now been released, offering fans their first official look at the live-action adaptation.

Warner Bros.’ “A Minecraft Movie” directed by Jared Hess is the first live-action adaptation of Minecraft for the big screen, officially the best-selling video game of all time with an incredible 300 million copies sold.

In the CGI-heavy film, Jack Black plays “Expert Crafter” Steve, also known as a playable character in the Minecraft video game. Emma Myers from “Wednesday”, Danielle Brooks from “The Color Purple”, Sebastian Eugene Hansen from “Just Mercy” and Jennifer Coolidge play the main roles in the film alongside Aquaman actor Jason Momoa.

The story follows four “outsiders” – Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks) – who end up in the world of Minecraft and must protect it from piglins and zombies on their quest to return to their homeland.

Here is the official blurb:

Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity not only helps you craft, but is necessary for survival! Four outsiders – Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers), and Dawn (Brooks) – are struggling with everyday problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal to the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they must master this world (and also protect it from evil things like piglins and zombies) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, skilled crafter, Steve (Black). Their adventure together will test all five to be brave and reconnect with the traits that make each of them uniquely creative… the very skills they need to survive in the real world again.

Black is of course no newcomer to video game adaptations, having voiced Bowser in the 2023 Super Mario Bros. film, for which he earned a place in the Billboard Hot 100 for his ode to Princess Peach. Black too Claptrap played in the disastrous film Borderlands. A Minecraft Movie will be released in North American theaters and IMAX theaters on April 4, 2025, and internationally on April 2, 2025.
