Jack Black Joins the Cast of the MINECRAFT Movie at Warner Bros. Alongside Jason Momoa
Jack Black (School of Rock, Nacho Libre, Jumanji, The Super Mario Bros. Movie) has joined the cast of Warner Bros.’ next big tentpole film, Minecraft, in which he will star alongside Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Emma Myers (Wednesday, Family Switch), Danielle Brooks (Orange is the New Black, Peacemaker) and Sebastian Eugene Hansen (Just Mercy, Lisey’s Story).
The Mojang sandbox title is the bestselling video game of all time, with 300 million copies sold and nearly 140M monthly active players. The film’s plot is under wraps, but Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre) is set to direct, and with several names attached to the script, writing credits are still being determined. It’s being reported that Black is taking on the role of Steve in the film.
Minecraft is currently in production, and is set to hit theaters on April 4, 2025.
