Jack Black is set to star in yet another big video game movie adaptation, as it's being reported that the actor will play Steve in the upcoming Minecraft movie.
According to Deadline, production on the Minecraft movie is getting underway ahead of its planned release date of April 4, 2025, with sources claiming that Jack Black is set to star as the one and only Steve. Black is now the second high-profile actor to be included as part of the production, with Aquaman star Jason Momoa already confirmed as the leading role.
Even though we're only a little over a year out, we still don't know what the plot of the Minecraft movie will be or what role Black will play as Steve. We know that it's supposedly live-action rather than fully animated, and that the movie will feature a young girl and her group of pals who go on an adventure to stop the Ender Dragon, according to IMDB.
We also know that Wednesday star Emma Myers will be playing an unknown role in the movie, as will Peacemaker star Danielle Brooks and Sebastain Eugene Hansen, who will supposedly play characters called Dawn and Henry respectively. That's about all the information we have on the movie at the moment as things are being kept under wraps, though Jack Black's involvement does make things a little more interesting.

The game will be available to download for free on PS5 and PS4 as part of the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup for next month, starting February 6 through March 4. Foamstars was announced at a PlayStation Showcase in May last year, showing off soapy shooting and colourful characters, both heavily inspired by Nintendo's Splatoon games. A PS Plus release will likely attract more players to the multiplayer title in its early days.
If you own a copy of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition or Minecraft: Education Edition, you can now grab a free expansion pack based on the BBC's Planet Earth III.

Whether we want to admit it or not, now that there has been a string of video game adaptation successes in both the movie and TV scape, there are going to be legions more made based on some of the most popular and best-selling franchises in the world. Why? Because since a certain film with Mario made a billion dollars, and the tale of Joel and Ellie was nominated for dozens of awards, people “up top” want to see how much they can bank on this. And that brings us to the Minecraft Movie, which is absolutely something that is being made right now.
