Before Warner Bros Motion Picture Co-Chair Michael De Luca takes the stage at the Produced By conference this afternoon, the studio has unveiled that the title to the Legendary co-production Minecraft sequel is A Minecraft Movie: Squared.
As previously announced Jared is returning to helm with stars Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Matt Berry, Jennifer Coolidge and Kirsten Dunst joining. The movie which came close to making $1 billion worldwide last year gets credit for this whole dynamiting of the under 25 demo/YouTube craving generation to the box office. Before Backrooms shorts, Minecraft and Roblox games were the thing, there was Minecraft which has a wonderfully ferocious fanbase.
In unveiling the title today, the studio announced that it’s holding a contest for fans to enter The Minecraft Movie Build Challenge for a chance to have their build appear in the movie or end credits. The Builder Cape will be available later today through June 14 on TikTok, Minecraft and Twitch. Contest is open to those over 16 years of age. The Microsoft sponsored contest ends on July 6.
A Minecraft Movie: Squared is currently dated for July 23, 2027. Odds are once the Paramount-Warner Bros Discovery merger goes through, the Melrose Ave lot will be distributing and marketing this one.
