Minecraft 2: Digging For Dollars, Blocks, and Chicken Jockeys

Hold onto your diamond pickaxes because "A Minecraft Movie" is back for another round, set to crash into theaters on July 23, 2027. Jared Hess returns to wield the directorial pickaxe for the sequel, although Warner Bros. Discovery is playing mystery mode on which OG cast will respawn. The first flick wasn’t just a hit — it was the pixelated king of video game films with the biggest US box office opening weekend and pulled in nearly $1 billion, becoming the empire’s second highest grosser of the year. Meanwhile, Nintendo’s flexing a sequel too, with “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” hopping into cinemas on April 3, 2026. So get your popcorn ready for block-building, mushroom-hopping, and maybe a viral Chicken Jockey cameo, because apparently, chickens invading your creepypasta fantasy is a cinematic currency now.
