A Minecraft Movieis based upon the insanely popular video game created by Mojang Studios.The film has a star-studded cast, with Jack Black serving as the series mascot, Steve. As you’d expect from Black, he takes the character over the top in wonderful ways. Matt Berry was originally cast inthe role of Steve. However, a scheduling conflict prevented the actor from taking the opportunity. Berry did end up lending his voice to the film in the form of a villager. But you’ll have to stay through the early credits of the movie to truly appreciate his efforts.
In addition to Black and Berry, Jason Momoa is a standout in the role of Garrett. A former “Gamer of the Year”, the character never quite grew up and remains a bit of a disaster as an adult. The rest of the main cast includes Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Hansen, Jennifer Coolidge, Rachel House, Jared Hess, and Jermaine Clement.
In a fun touch,several popularMinecraftcontent creators received cameos within the movie. Among them are DanTDM, Aphmau, Mumbo Jumbo, and LDShadowLady. Technoblade, a YouTuber whotragically passed away in 2022, was recognized in the film via aMinecraftpig wearing Technoblade’s recognizable crown.
