A Minecraft movie is a project that has been in the air for a long, long time. Specifically, since February 2014, Mark’sNotch“Persson became a voluntary escapee project about his great creation, the game that made him one of the most famous developers in the world and also a billionaire, first thanks to the sales success of the game, but later and mainly thanks to the sale of Mojang to Microsoft.

At the time, I was working in another medium, now defunct, and of course I covered the news and the reactions it caused. And this last point is important, so I will address it shortly. However, what was important, what was really important, was the film project itself, which seemed to be completely sealed and that it wouldn’t be long before it hit theaters. However, Time passed and it did not materialize..

Since then and in a cyclical manner Rumors and alleged leaks began to emerge minecrat movie projects. From the plots to the names of the actors and actresses, they rounded out a long history of projects that we’ll never know if they were real or not, but that never saw the light of day anyway. Which brings us to April 2022, when we heard again about a movie, this time focused on Jason Momoa.

Since then, in this case, there have been other rumors that pointed to the continuity of the project, although given the previous history, it was time to take them with a grain of salt. But no, in this case reservations were not necessary and the fact is that it is We have official confirmation, a release date, and even the first trailer for the Minecraft movie. And indeed, the rumor about 2022 has just been confirmed, as Jason Momoa will be one of the protagonists of the world block.

The “bad” news is that we’ll have to wait a little longer until April 4, 2025 until the theatrical releasealthough considering that more than 10 years have passed since the first announcement, we are talking about a much more closed period this time. And considering the trailer, we can be mildly optimistic about the work the creative team has done to create a story that adapts, starting with the sandbox that is Minecraft tradition games, but that’s story-wise interesting.
