A sequel will likely be contingent on the movie’s success, but it sounds like Hess certainly has an idea of where he would like to take a second installment and the characters he would like to explore. With the $150 million budget likely to be recouped at this point, the potential sequel will likely expand on what has been introduced in the world so far. For instance, A Minecraft Movie post-credits scene introduces another default player who meets with Steve, hinting at the direction of the film franchise and its hopes to explore more of the lore.

Our Take On A Minecraft Movie’s Sequel Chances

The Box Office & The Cast Agreeing To Return Will Be Key To A Follow-Up

The cast of A Minecraft Movie has a balance of comedy heavyweights, such as Jack Black, and strong child actors, and convincing them to sign on for a sequel will be key to getting the greenlight. The movie will also need to boast a strong box office to show that the audience for an adaptation is there. Ultimately, A Minecraft Movie is a film that is unlikely to win any awards or critical praise, but it should appeal to kids who are fans of the game and may well prove to be a fun-filled box-office success. So far, that is looking likely, given how well the movie is doing overwhelmingly at the box office.
