Warning: Contains SPOILERS for A Minecraft Movie!A Minecraft Movie includes two post-credits scenes that help tie up loose ends and set up the video game movie franchise’s future. The 2025 video game movie from Warner Bros. brings Mojang Studios’ beloved building game to life in a new way. The story brings four ordinary humans to Overworld and leads them to meet Steve (Jack Black), another human who has been transported to the land and has become an expert crafter. The five humans learn to work together and harness the crafting possibilities of Overworld to find their way back home to Earth.
While A Minecraft Movie‘s ending wraps up the main stories for Steve and his new human comrades, that may not be the end of the story. A Minecraft Movie has two post-credits scenes, one in the middle and one at the end. Like many movies based on popular IP, there is hope that Steve’s adventures and Overworld will return to the big screen. It’s unsurprising, then, that A Minecraft Movie utilizes credits scenes to set up what could come next in a potential sequel. And based on what’s shown, there will be more video game connections in store.
A Minecraft Movie’s Mid-Credits Scene Finishes Jennifer Coolidge’s Villager Love Subplot
It Confirms Matt Berry’s Role At Last
The first of A Minecraft Movie‘s credits scenes comes in the mid-credits and returns to the movie’s subplot between Jennifer Coolidge’s character and a Villager. The movie includes a minor story where Coolidge’s Vice Principal Marlene encounters a Villager in the real world after he’s escaped Overworld. They unexpectedly fall in love after going on a date. The mid-credits scene provides a major update on Marlene and the Villager’s love story. It shows the Villager talking and expressing his love for Marlene, with the sequence ending with their engagement.
Not only does this give Villager and Marlene a happy ending to their love story, but A Minecraft Movie also uses this scene to finally confirm Matt Berry’s role. The actor from What We Do In The Shadows was known to be part of the A Minecraft Movie cast for some time. However, his role was kept under wraps. Matt Berry is confirmed as the voice of the Villager. It’s a surprise that Berry’s role is ultimately saved for a mid-credits reveal. There is no mistaking his voice, though, as he adds some additional comedic relief to the scene.
A Minecraft Movie’s Post-Credits Scene Shows Steve Back To The Real World
He Returns Home & Meets A New Friend
The movie’s finale confirms that Steve and the others make it out of Overworld and return safely to Earth. That’s a bigger deal for Steve considering he was stuck there longer. The biggest question that remained was what he would do now that he was back on Earth. A Minecraft Movie uses its post-credits scene to answer this, revealing that Steve returns to his childhood home. We see Jack Black’s character walking up to the door of the house he grew up in for the first time in years and knocking on the door.
Steve is greeted at the door by a woman with reddish-orange hair who now lives in his childhood home. They exchange pleasantries, and he’s then allowed to come inside. The woman is only shown from behind, so we never see her face. However, she confirms that her name is Alex while introducing herself to Steve. This causes Jack Black’s character to react noticeably, almost as if he knows who Alex is. While there is no indication that Steve knows this woman in A Minecraft Movie‘s post-credits scene, she is a familiar character to anyone with knowledge of the video game.
Alex Is Introduced In A Minecraft Movie’s Post-Credits Scene
One Of Minecraft’s Main Skins Gets Her Debut
The surprise for most Minecraft players will be Alex’s introduction in the post-credits scene. Alex is one of nine default skins in the video game. Alex was the second skin introduced back in 2014’s Minecraft Java Edition. Alex’s appearance is commonly depicted as having pale skin, long orange hair, green eyes, and a green shirt. While the movie doesn’t show Alex’s eyes, the orange hair and green shirt are present to provide visual clues to her idenтιтy as one of A Minecraft Movie‘s video game characters.
Alex’s introduction in A Minecraft Movie is notable in that it confirms that Alex is a woman. The characters in the Minecraft video games are meant to be genderless. This includes a tendency to use genderless pronouns, they/them, when discussing the characters. That intention was directly confirmed by Notch, the former lead developer of the video game, in a 2012 blog post where he said, “The human model is intended to represent a Human Being. Not a male Human Being or a female Human Being, but simply a Human Being.”
The actress who plays Alex in A Minecraft Movie’s post-credits scene is unconfirmed
While there is no real canonical backstory for Alex based on the video games, A Minecraft Movie still manages to depict the character in an accurate light in this brief appearance. Beyond the visual similarities, introducing Alex to Steve in this way is seemingly the start of their friendship. Since Alex is frequently featured with Steve, it makes sense for the film to set up that relationship as something that can be explored going forward.
What A Minecraft Movie’s Post-Credits Scene Mean For A Sequel
Alex Is Positioned To Be A Major Character
The biggest takeaway from A Minecraft Movie‘s post-credits scene is Alex when we’re talking about what it means for a potential sequel. There would be no reason to tease the introduction of a prominent video game character like this if she was not intended to be part of what comes next. The sequel could explore Steve’s return to Overworld and Alex’s first trip there. What exactly the two would get involved in while in Overworld is anyone’s guess, but it’s clear that A Minecraft Movie 2 will bring Alex and Steve together for its entirety.
This does open up the possibility of more Minecraft skins to join the franchise. Alex and Steve are two of the more popular “characters” in the series, but the games also have Ari, Efe, Kai, Makena, Noor, Sunny, and Zuri. If the sequel increases the number of video game characters with Alex, there’s a chance that some of the other seven skins will also find roles in the narrative. A Minecraft Movie was comfortable juggling five human characters, after all.
It’s still possible that Jason Momoa’s The Garbage Man and others will return for the sequel now that they are familiar with Overworld and have learned to harness power there. But if any of them do not return or the franchise wants to go in a new direction, the video games include additional possibilities for who can join Alex and Steve on the next adventure. Perhaps this will even include a continuation of Marlene and the Villager’s love story. A Minecraft Movie‘s credits scenes allow room for the franchise to grow in several directions.
