Of course, given the success of the first film, Warner Bros. and Mojang will probably want to try replicating it as much as possible for whatever Minecraft‘s sequel is about. Movie studios seem to want to play it safe more often than not these days, and dropping an actor like Momoa could be seen as a risk. That said, Kate McKinnon would make for a great addition to A Minecraft Movie 2​​​​​​, even more so if paired with Jack Black.

Kate McKinnon & Jack Black’s Comedic Pairing Can Help Minecraft’s Sequel Repeat Steve & Garrett’s Chemistry

McKinnon And Black Would Be A Hilarious Duo

If Momoa doesn’t end up returning in a starring role, then McKinnon would be perfect as Jack Black’s co-star, and their comedic pairing could potentially be even funnier. Kate McKinnon is likely best known in recent years for her appearance in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, where she played Weird Barbie.

That character was hilarious, and McKinnon’s performance made it all the better, so if she brought that same energy to A Minecraft Movie‘s sequel, Alex and Steve would bounce off each other incredibly well. What exactly the yet-to-be-announced sequel will be about remains to be seen, but the franchise has some exciting possibilities to explore.
