A sequel to A Minecraft Movie has been confirmed, and it will arrive in theaters on July 23, 2027. The announcement says the original director, Jared Hess, will return to lead the follow-up. Minecraft has been a cultural force since 2011, as evidenced by the success of its first film at the box office. An official post on Twitter/X revealed the sequel and showed a poster featuring two shiny pickaxes. No title for the new movie has been released, and casting and plot details remain under wraps for now.

The July 23 date places the sequel on the same weekend as The Simpsons Movie 2, so it will share a crowded summer frame with another franchise release. No confirmation has been issued about the return of any original cast members. Plot details are being kept under wraps, leaving room for speculation about how the sequel will expand the Minecraft cinematic world or lean harder into the elements that resonated with audiences the first time. Share your thoughts on what should change in the next movie, and whether returning cast or new faces will be the right call. Please follow us on X, Bluesky, and subscribe to YouTube.
