Warner Bros has released the first trailer for "A Minecraft Movie," the long-awaited film adaptation of Mojang's blockbuster video game. The cast includes Jack Black as Steve, the game's default avatar, alongside Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen. The project was first announced in 2014 by original creator Markus "Notch" Persson, who has since left Mojang. Direction passed through Shawn Levy, Rob McElhenney, and Peter Sollett before landing with Jared Hess, who previously worked with Black on "Nacho Libre." Minecraft has sold over 300 million copies worldwide. The film is scheduled for US release on April 4, 2025.
