After the blockbuster success of The Minecraft Movie, fans are already buzzing about what’s next—and director Jared Hess just dropped a big hint that a sequel could be on the horizon. With a record-smashing $301 million global opening weekend, it’s no surprise the studio is eyeing a follow-up. 💰🧱
🎥 Massive Debut Sparks Sequel Talks
Despite mixed critical reception, The Minecraft Movie—starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa—struck gold thanks to the power of its legendary brand. And now, according to Jared Hess in an interview with Deadline, discussions for a second film are already underway.
🗣️ “It seems as if it is already being talked about,” Hess teased. He also made it clear he’s ready to dive back in:
“The world of the game is so extensive. And there were so many things we didn’t use, but that we would have liked to do.”
That rich creative potential is exactly why the director finds the idea of a sequel so exciting. 🙌
⚠️ Spoiler Warning – End Credits Tease
The first movie ends with a cliffhanger that clearly sets up future adventures:
🎭 Steve, played by Jack Black, steps into the real world—only to encounter a mysterious new character: Alex.
💡 For Minecraft fans, Alex is no stranger. As one of the two default avatars in the game (alongside Steve), her brief appearance sparked major speculation. Her face is never shown, leaving the door wide open for a big casting reveal in the future.
🎤 Hess confirmed the tease was intentional:
“We hinted at it in the credits. And the fans are really wild about it.”
🧱 What Could Minecraft 2 Look Like?
While nothing is officially confirmed yet, Hess hinted that Alex would likely be a central character if the sequel moves forward. With so many untouched parts of the Minecraft universe—from The Nether and Ender Dragons to Redstone mechanics and epic biomes—the creative potential is nearly limitless. 🌋🐉💡
🧠 Final Thoughts
With the first film already breaking records and generating buzz, it’s safe to say that Minecraft Movie 2 is more than just a possibility—it’s a probability. And if Jared Hess returns to direct, we can expect another visually inventive and block-busting ride through the beloved sandbox world.
🔥 Whether you’re a longtime builder or just loved seeing Minecraft hit the big screen, the future looks bright and pixelated for fans. Stay tuned for updates—because the next chapter might be coming sooner than we think. 📦🎮🎞️
