Minecraft Movie Sequel Officially Titled 'A Minecraft Movie: Squared,' Set for 2027 Release

Warner Bros. has revealed the official title for the highly anticipated Minecraft Movie follow-up: A Minecraft Movie: Squared.

The announcement came during a Warner Bros. conference on Saturday, May 30, with Motion Picture Co-Chair Michael De Luca sharing the news.

The sequel arrives in theaters on July 23, 2027, roughly two years after the original film's blockbuster performance. A Minecraft Movie became a surprise phenomenon in 2025, raking in nearly $1 billion worldwide at the box office. The film's success was largely driven by the YouTube generation, with the Chicken Jockey sequence proving to be a particular crowd-pleaser that had audiences buzzing in theaters.

Returning to the cast are Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, and Jennifer Coolidge. Kirsten Dunst and Matt Berry are joining the ensemble for the sequel.

Dunst's involvement marks the fulfillment of a wish she publicly expressed back in August 2025. In an interview with Town & Country at the time, she mentioned that her children loved the first film and expressed interest in participating in the sequel, saying, "Maybe I can just make a movie where I don't lose money?"

Director Jared Hess is also returning to helm the follow-up. Hess previously directed the cult-classic comedy Napoleon Dynamite.
