Minecraft Movie Sequel Titled A Minecraft Movie Squared

The sequel to the Minecraft film has received the official title A Minecraft Movie Squared. The announcement occurred during the May Minecraft Live event. Kirsten Dunst will play Alex, the female character option from the game. Matt Berry, who voiced Nitwit in the first film, returns as a human character whose identity has not been disclosed.

A short clip released with the announcement features Berry rejecting a costume suggestion because "Steve would not be wearing that." The line has prompted speculation that the character may be Herobrine. Director Jared Hess and Mojang Chief Creative Officer Jens Bergensten presented the title and casting updates.

The same event introduced the Minecraft Movie Build Challenge. Participants will submit in-game creations, and the winning build will appear in the sequel's end credits. Full contest rules are available on the official site. The winning entry will be shown when the film opens on July 23, 2027.
