Video Gamers React to Newly Announced Title of 'A Minecraft Movie' Sequel
Critics' mixed reviews couldn't keep audiences away from embracing A Minecraft Movie last year and sending it to No. 1 at the box office.
It wasn't a surprise that Warner Bros. quickly greenlit a follow-up film. And now, the studio has revealed an official title for the video-game adaptation's sequel - rightfully sending the internet abuzz.
"Ready for another adventure? The world of #Minecraft is expanding once again with A Minecraft Movie Squared!" reads the caption of the studio's joint Instagram post on Saturday, May 30. See below.
Fans of the beloved video game franchise have already flooded the post's comments section with their thoughts, which are mostly supportive in nature. "We are ready 🔥," wrote one Instagram user, while another person commented, "Sqaured is such a peak name" (a post that received more than 5,000 likes).
Another type of reaction, meanwhile, was popular amongst the post's comments. "Another Minecraft Movie was RIGHT THERE MAN," wrote another fan, suggesting an alternative to A Minecraft Movie: Squared.
Warner. Bros. also announced via the same Instagram post that it's holding a contest for fans to enter The Minecraft Movie Build Challenge for a chance to have theirs appear in the movie or end credits. The Builder Cape will be available through June 14 on TikTok, Minecraft and Twitch. The Microsoft-sponsored contest ends on July 6, per Deadline.
Later on Saturday, Warner Bros. posted a follow-up on its Instagram page, a video featuring Jack Black, Jason Momoa and other castmates - including the newly added Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows).
"We so excited to be back here in beautiful New Zealand to be shooting the sequel to A Minecraft Movie," Black, 56, says in part during the Instagram Reel, which also shows behind-the-scenes clips of the crew in action.
A Minecraft Movie: Squared is currently set to hit theaters on July 23, 2027.
