Here’s your first look at ‘A Minecraft Movie Squared’ with Kirsten Dunst as Alex
The sequel to A Minecraft Movie has been officially titled A Minecraft Movie Squared, with major casting announcements expanding the film’s star power. Kirsten Dunst has been cast as Alex, one of the iconic female character options from the game itself.
Matt Berry, who voiced the NPC character Nitwit in the first film, is returning in a significantly expanded role. Rather than reprising voice work, Berry will now portray a human character, though his exact role remains undisclosed. However, behind-the-scenes footage offers a tantalizing clue: in a clip from the film, Berry’s character dismisses a costume with the line “Steve would not be wearing that,” suggesting he may be playing Herobrine—the dark, evil counterpart to Jack Black’s protagonist Steve.
The sequel announcement signals the filmmakers’ confidence in expanding the narrative scope of the original live-action adaptation. With established actors like Dunst and returning talent like Berry, the production appears focused on blending star appeal with gaming franchise recognition to attract both devoted Minecraft fans and mainstream audiences. The casting choices indicate an intention to deepen character development and potentially explore the game’s lore more extensively than the first film.
Additional details regarding the plot, production timeline, and complete cast roster are anticipated in forthcoming announcements.
