Development

Talks for a potential sequel to A Minecraft Movie began a few days after the film's release in April 2025.^[2] In an interview with Variety, Legendary Entertainment's Chairman of Worldwide Production Mary Parent explained how the movie earned the "A" in its title, stating that "we're calling it 'A Minecraft Movie' because we're respecting the fact that there's no one story that drives the game". Director Jared Hess also included that the film is "not the official story" and that it is "just one of a zillion stories". In another interview, Hess expressed interest in making a sequel, noting the world's use of infinite mods, characters, and biomes, outlining how Minecraft is virtually endless.^[3] On April 11, Warner Bros. Pictures reported that a sequel was in early development.^[4][5] At the end of a behind-the-scenes interview of the first Minecraft film, the VFX supervisor Sheldon Stopsack and the animation supervisor Kevin Estey both refer to the film's sequel as Another Minecraft Movie.^[6] The sequel was officially announced in October 2025, with a release date of July 23, 2027. Hess was announced to return as director, while Chris Galletta would return to write the script with Hess.^[7] At CinemaCon in April 2026, the film was listed as A Minecraft Sequel.^[8] In a Minecraft Live presentation on May 30, 2026, the title A Minecraft Movie Squared was announced.^[9][10][11]
