Warner Bros. brings the blocky universe to life with The Minecraft Movie, a star-studded animated adventure premiering April 4, 2025. This highly anticipated adaptation promises to capture the creative spirit of the iconic game while delivering an original story filled with humor, heart, and epic world-building. Fans can expect stunning CGI that stays true to Minecraft’s distinctive visual style, combined with Hollywood-grade storytelling that appeals to both longtime players and new audiences.
The film boasts an incredible ensemble cast featuring comedy legends and action stars who will bring beloved characters (and surprising new additions) to the big screen. From Jack Black’s return to animated voice roles to Jason Momoa’s unexpected comedic turn, each actor has been carefully chosen to embody the quirky charm of the Minecraft universe while adding their own unique flair.
Star-Studded Voice Cast Detail
1: Jack Black as Steve
The iconic gamer character gets the A-list treatment with Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda, Jumanji) voicing the legendary protagonist. Black’s signature comedic timing and everyman charm make him perfect to portray Minecraft’s most recognizable face.
Insiders report Black improvised many lines, bringing Steve more personality than ever while keeping the character’s strong silent-type appeal. His musical talents may even feature in a surprise musical sequence.
2: Jason Momoa in a Mystery Role
The Aquaman star takes on an undisclosed (but reportedly hilarious) role that showcases his untapped comedic chops. Momoa has been spotted recording sessions while wearing full diamond armor cosplay.
Rumors suggest he may be playing either a heroic warrior or an exaggerated parody of his own action-hero persona within the Minecraft world.
3: Jennifer Coolidge as The Nether Queen
Fresh off her White Lotus renaissance, Coolidge brings her deliciously eccentric delivery to the ruler of Minecraft’s underworld. The Nether Queen is described as “equal parts terrifying and fabulously dramatic.”
Coolidge reportedly ad-libbed an entire monologue about Nether brick interior design that may become the film’s standout scene.
4: Emma Myers as Natalie
The Wednesday breakout star voices Natalie, a determined young explorer who partners with Steve on their adventure. Myers brings youthful energy and sincerity to this original character created for the film.
Natalie serves as the audience’s gateway into Minecraft’s mechanics, with Myers’ performance making the exposition feel organic and fun.
5: Kate McKinnon as a Creeper (and Other Mobs)
The SNL alum pulls triple duty voicing the iconic explosive creatures, plus some surprise mob variants. McKinnon’s signature chaotic energy perfectly captures the Creepers’ unpredictable nature.
Early test screenings reportedly had kids screaming with laughter at her “Creeper mating call” improv.
6: Jemaine Clement as The Ender Dragon
The Flight of the Conchords star brings Shakespearean gravitas (and dry wit) to Minecraft’s ultimate boss. Clement’s melodic voice gives the dragon an unexpectedly poetic menace.
His musical background reportedly influenced the dragon’s haunting theme music.
7: Danielle Brooks as Dawn
The Peacemaker and Orange Is the New Black star voices a spirited village leader defending her community. Brooks brings warmth and powerful presence to this original character.
Dawn’s leadership speeches are said to be among the film’s most emotionally impactful moments.
8: Garett Garrison in a Secret Role
The newcomer’s character remains under wraps, but leaked set photos suggest he may be playing either a loyal wolf companion or a mischievous pillager leader.
