Minecraft Movie Will Have You Yearning for the Mines with Much Better Second Trailer

A Minecraft Movie made its big debut a couple of months back with the first official teaser trailer , and it didn't go down very well. While it's obviously aimed at a younger audience, fans of the perpetually popular sandbox game weren't convinced by this live-action adaptation, but this latest trailer shows more promise. Starring Jack Black as Steve, the character's origin story is revealed here — how, in his youth, he yearned for the mines, and as an adult dug so deep that he found a portal into the Minecraft world.

It's all very silly and light-hearted, which is of course the right direction for a family flick. While the softened edges and pseudo-realistic materials change the look of the overworld, there's plenty of evidence here that shows a commitment to Minecraft's rules and features. If you've ever played the game, there will be objects and references you recognise all over the place.



We don't think this will be a critical smash hit, but it seems to be broadly hitting the right notes in this second trailer, and we expect it'll do very well for itself at the box office regardless. It arrives on 4th April, 2025. What do you think of the new trailer for A Minecraft Movie? Tell us in the comments section below.
