A Minecraft Movie released in Spring 2025 and was an enormous success: even the iffy reviews couldn’t stop it from chicken jockeying its way to almost $1 billion over its theatrical run. That kind of number made a sequel inevitable, and the production has started filming in New Zealand. Returning star Jack Black, who plays…
