Minecraft movie will release in 2025, starring Jason Momoa

The Minecraft movie is real. It is actually happening, and while we don’t know much about it and never really have, we have a new release date (via Deadline).

Firstly, the Minecraft movie is now expected to release on April 4, 2025, which is quite the while away. We also know that it’ll be directed by Jared Hess, the mind behind films such as Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre. Last, but not least, we learnt last year that Jason Momoa has been recruited to star in the film.

The Minecraft movie was first announced in 2014, with Shawn Levy as director, and has been through plenty of changes since. During 2016, with a new director – Rob McElhenny – on board, fans were told to expect the movie on May 24, 2019. Then, Rob McElhenny was replaced as director by Peter Sollett in 2018, and the film’s release date was pushed back once again to 2022.
