The Minecraft Movie release date is set for 2025, and there are almost exactly two years left until you can see Jason Momoa in the big-screen adaptation of the world’s biggest sandbox game. The film will be directed by Jared Hess, known for the likes of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, and will finally end its long and troubled run with its arrival next year.
The Minecraft movie is said to have been in production since 2014, when discussions took place between Mojang and Warner Bros about the potential for a Minecraft movie. Since then, the film has changed hands several times, with It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney previously helming the project on a previous iteration.
Very little is known about the cast details, with only Jason Momoa having been confirmed among the names involved so far. The Hawaiian actor is best known for his role as Aquaman in the movie of the same title, alongside DC’s 2017 Justice League. He also appears in The LEGO Movie 2 and appears as Duncan Idaho in the 2021 Dune movie.

Warner Bros. has now announced that Minecraft movie releases on April 4, 2025. This news (via IGN) comes as the publisher updates several of its scheduled titles, with Aquaman 2 and The Color Purple both slated for December 2023.
Personally, I’m fascinated with how the film manages to turn Minecraft’s relatively lighthearted story into something for the movie audience. It’s certainly doable: Telltale’s Minecraft series tells a simple yet compelling story of various friends venturing through various biomes and battling some of their most iconic foes.
Meanwhile, the success of the two recent Sonic movies, as well as Detective Pikachu and the seeming promise of the Super Mario Bros. movie, which has just hit theaters in the US and UK, shows there’s certainly an appetite out there. for video game adaptations today. .
