A Minecraft Movie 2 Gets Release Date & Poster, Reveals Director

The chicken jockey craze is growing, with Warner Bros. Pictures announcing A Minecraft Movie 2’s release date, revealing when fans will get to see the next chapter in the franchise.

When does A Minecraft Movie 2 release?

2025’s A Minecraft Movie was released in April, and became a smash hit almost immediately. The film grossed over $950 million, and is the third-highest-grossing film of 2025, to date. Talks of a sequel began immediately, although it’s unclear just who from the original film will return.

It’s assumed that Jack Black, who led the film as Steve, will be making a return. The first film also starred Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Sebastian Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge, though it’s unknown as of now whether or not they will return. Given how their stories ended in the first film, though, a return to the Overworld could be possible.

The first film was directed by Jared Hess, from a screenplay written by Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener, Gavin James, and Chris Galletta. The movie is available to watch now on HBO Max and other platforms.
