The star-studded cast of the upcoming sequel—including Jack Black, Jason Momoa, and new addition Kirsten Dunst—has officially confirmed the title: A Minecraft Movie Squared. The announcement was made during the Minecraft Live May 2026 event, which featured a behind-the-scenes look at production.

Scheduled for a July 23, 2027, theatrical release, the film is already building hype with the launch of a “Minecraft Build Challenge.” Fans participating in the event have the chance to win prizes, including an invite to an early screening or the opportunity to have their build featured in the movie’s end credits.
