Jason Momoa Announces Start Date for Filming A Minecraft Movie 2: Summer 2027 Release Date Revealed
Jason Momoa has shared exciting news about the upcoming production of A Minecraft Movie 2, revealing the start date for filming. The sequel, based on the popular sandbox video game from Mojang Studios, was confirmed to be in development shortly after the first film's release in April 2025. Following the announcement, a Summer 2027 release date was set for the highly anticipated sequel.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jason Momoa expressed his enthusiasm for A Minecraft Movie 2, stating that filming would commence at the end of April 2026. He praised the script, describing it as "even better" than the first film and highlighting its humor, which had him laughing out loud—a rare occurrence while reading a script.
Scheduled to hit theaters on July 23, 2027, A Minecraft Movie 2 will see Jared Hess returning as the director, co-writing the screenplay with Chris Galletta. Legendary Pictures, the production company behind the first film, will once again produce and finance the sequel, with a talented team of producers on board, including Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, and Momoa himself.
Fans can look forward to seeing Jason Momoa reprise his role as Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison in the sequel, with Jack Black expected to return as Steve. While the involvement of other main cast members from the original film remains uncertain, the sequel may explore the dynamic between Steve and Alex, hinted at in a post-credits scene from the first movie.
Warner Bros. has kept details about the sequel under wraps, teasing that they are "deep in the mine for now." However, Hess hinted at a potential focus on Steve and Alex's relationship in the upcoming installment. As anticipation builds for A Minecraft Movie 2, fans can expect an exciting continuation of the beloved video game adaptation.
