Kirsten Dunst Joins ‘A Minecraft Movie’ Sequel Cast as Alex
- Deadline reported Thursday that Kirsten Dunst has joined the untitled Minecraft Movie sequel, which Warner Bros. will release on July 23, 2027.
- Last year, A Minecraft Movie became a box-office phenomenon with a record $163 million domestic opening and nearly $1 billion worldwide, prompting Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary to develop a sequel based on Mojang Studios' franchise.
- Jared Hess is returning to direct the sequel from a script he co-wrote with Chris Galletta, reuniting key cast members Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Matt Berry, and Jennifer Coolidge.
- The casting reflects both a personal interest and a financial incentive for Kirsten Dunst, who joked last summer her kids loved the first film and the paycheck "wouldn't hurt," while character details and the sequel plot remain under wraps.
- By casting Alex, the sequel expands the Minecraft Cinematic Universe by introducing a character teased in a post-credits scene and shown alongside Steve in official artwork.
