A Minecraft Movie is getting a sequel, and according to a post on X, the new film will debut in theaters on July 23rd, 2027. Jared Hess, who directed the first film, is returning for the second, Deadline reports, but Warner Bros. Discovery hasn’t yet said who from the first film’s cast might return.
The first movie was a huge hit, having the biggest box office opening weekend ever for a video game film in the US. It’s also the second highest grossing movie this year, earning nearly $1 billion, Deadline says. So it’s perhaps not a huge surprise that Warner Bros. Discovery has already started work on a sequel, though will it have another viral Chicken Jockey moment?
Nintendo is also gearing up to release a sequel to its big video game box office hit: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is coming to theaters on April 3rd, 2026.
