Warner Bros. has confirmed that "Minecraft: The Movie 2" will premiere on July 23, 2027. The news was accompanied by the first poster, which features a crafting table and two pickaxes intersecting on its surface.
The original "Minecraft: The Movie" was released in April 2025 and became one of the biggest hits of the year. The film grossed over $950 million worldwide and currently ranks third in the 2025 box office. Talks of a sequel began almost immediately after its release, but official details were absent for a long time.
According to preliminary data, Jack Black, who played Steve, will return in the second film. "Minecraft: The Movie" also starred Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Sebastian Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge, but their participation in the sequel has not yet been confirmed.
The announcement sparked lively discussions among fans. Some fear that the release of "Minecraft: The Movie 2" may affect the box office of "Superman: Legacy" — the sequel to James Gunn's "Superman," which is scheduled to premiere on July 9, 2027. Fans believe that releasing two potential blockbusters two weeks apart could negatively impact the box office of both films.
