After the ending of A Minecraft Movie, this Minecraft Dungeons villain should be the antagonist of the sequel. Minecraft has been one of the most popular video games in the world for well over a decade, so it was inevitable that a movie was going to be made eventually. Even though reviews for A Minecraft Movie have been quite mixed, with Screen Rant’s own Mae Abdulbaki giving it a score of 4 out of 10, it has made a lot of money at the box office. This means that a sequel to A Minecraft Movie will definitely be made soon.
Even though a sequel hasn’t been announced yet, the ending of A Minecraft Movie perfectly sets one up. In the post-credits scene of A Minecraft Movie, Steve returns to the real world and visits his old home, where he hid a chest with some supplies from the Overworld. When he arrives at his old house, he meets Alex, another significant character from the Minecraft video game. Because of this scene, a sequel will likely feature both Steve and Alex, but A Minecraft Movie 2 will also need a compelling villain.
A Minecraft Movie Utilizes The Orb Of Dominance, A Key Artifact From The Game
The Orb Of Dominance Is A Powerful Item In A Minecraft Movie
Malgosha, a sorceress from the Nether, is the primary antagonist of A Minecraft Movie. In the film, she wants to obtain the Orb of Dominance, which creates portals between dimensions, so that she can invade the Overworld with her army of zombified piglins. Upon entering the Overworld with her army, Malgosha attempts to block out the sun to turn it into another dark and sinister dimension that contains no creativity.
Malgosha’s reliance on the Orb of Dominance connects her story to the main characters in A Minecraft Movie. After being sucked into the Overworld, Garrett, Henry, Natalie, and Dawn also need to obtain Orb of Dominance so that they can return to the real world. At the end of A Minecraft Movie, these characters help Steve defeat Malgosha before they all return to their own world. When Steve decides to leave the Overworld, he takes the Orb of Dominance with him, which means it could once again be an important item in a sequel.
The Orb Of Dominance Can Bring Arch-Illager Into A Minecraft Sequel
The Arch-Illager Gets Corrupted By The Orb Of Dominance In Minecraft Dungeons
Malgosha is clearly corrupted by the Orb of Dominance, but her plan to take control of the Overworld ultimately fails. In my opinion, Malgosha was an underwhelming villain in A Minecraft Movie, so hopefully the sequel has a better antagonist. A lot of fans have expressed their desire for the Ender Dragon to be the villain of the sequel, but I would personally love to see the Arch-Illager in A Minecraft Movie 2. The Arch-Illager is a character in Minecraft Dungeons who gets corrupted by the Orb of Dominance.
The Arch-Illager ends up forming an army of illagers and takes the villagers as slaves.
In the game, the Arch-Illager is an exile from an illager tribe who is turned away by several different villages. Eventually, he discovers the Orb of Dominance in a cave, which corrupts him and leads to him seeking control of the Overworld. The Arch-Illager ends up forming an army of illagers and takes the villagers as slaves. He successfully becomes one of the most powerful figures in the Overworld, which proves that he would be a great villain in a sequel to A Minecraft Movie.
How Arch-Illager As Minecraft 2’s Villain Would Be Different From Malgosha
The Arch-Illager Would Be A Better Villain Than Malgosha
While A Minecraft Movie establishes that Malgosha is so evil because she was made fun of for her dancing, this is quite a weak backstory. In comparison, the Arch-Illager’s origin story is actually quite compelling. The Arch-Illager would be more of a sympathetic villain than Malgosha because he was wrongfully turned away by the villagers, who are supposed to be good people. Because the villagers treated the Arch-Illager so badly, it is understandable why he has so much hatred in his heart.
The Arch-Illager would also better showcase how the Orb of Dominance can corrupt someone than Malgosha does. In A Minecraft Movie, Malgosha comes across as more of an evil warlord, rather than a tragic figure. Therefore, the Arch-Illager would be a much more complex character than Malgosha, which could lead to the sequel being better than the first film. The Arch-Illager is a great character with an interesting story, which is why I hope he is the main villain in the sequel to A Minecraft Movie.
