Jack Black, Jason Momoa, and More Star in the Epic Minecraft Movie – Full Cast Revealed!

by

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but notice the impressive trajectory of Jack Black’s career in video game adaptations. With his recent voice roles in The Super Mario Bros Movie and Borderlands, it seems he’s aiming to break records as the actor with the most such adaptations under his belt. What makes this even more exciting is that he’s now leading the cast for A Minecraft Movie, a project that brings him back together with Nacho Libre director Jared Hess after almost two decades!

The fellow exudes enthusiasm and zest for life in everything he undertakes. He’s quite amusing and compassionate, and his fondness for the game is evident – he even enjoys playing it with his children.

Hess remarked: “It’s amusing because he was quite meticulous. During breaks between scenes, he would often be found in his trailer, saying, ‘Hey man, I just created an amazing structure in Minecraft, let’s go take a look. Come see it.’ So, indeed, there couldn’t have been a more suitable choice for me to portray Steve than Jack.

In the ensemble, it’s not just Black who holds a prominent position; there are significant parts for various actors as well. These include Jennifer Coolidge, who often works with Hess, Aquaman himself – Jason Momoa, and Emma Myers, known for her role in Wednesday.

Besides Black, there are substantial roles for several other talented actors such as Jennifer Coolidge (frequently collaborating with Hess), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), and Emma Myers (Wednesday).

Jason Momoa plays Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison

In the 1980s, I was a champion in a video game competition. These days, however, I own a video game store and have been struggling financially, yet I sometimes cross paths with fans who still hold me in high esteem from those glory days.

Have there been any other productions that Jason Momoa has been a part of? Following some initial roles, Momoa gained significant recognition for his portrayal of Khal Drogo in the first two seasons of Game of Thrones. Since then, he’s taken on lead roles in series like Frontier and See. On the big screen, he’s best known as Arthur Curry/Aquaman from the DCEU, with notable appearances including the character Duncan Idaho in Dune, and the antagonist Dante Reyes in Fast X.

Jack Black plays Steve

Who can be described as a skilled craftsman, who initially appeared in the Overworld during the ’80s and constructed his own utopia – only to later have a falling out with Malgosha, the piglin sovereign of the Nether?

Apart from his roles in The Super Mario Bros Movie and Borderlands, Jack Black has made appearances in several other notable films such as High Fidelity, Shallow Hal, School of Rock, Nacho Libre, The Holiday, Tropic Thunder, Bernie, Jumanji, and the Kung Fu Panda series. He also forms one half of the comedy-rock duo Tenacious D when he’s not acting on screen.

Emma Myers plays Natalie

Natalie is a young woman who temporarily paused her life’s journey to look after her little brother, Henry, after their mother passed away.

Apart from her notable roles in “Wednesday” on Netflix as Enid and “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” on BBC Three as Pip, Emma Myers has also appeared in other productions such as “Family Switch” and “Girl in the Basement”.

Danielle Brooks plays Dawn

Who exactly is Dawn? She’s Natalie’s real estate agent, but she has several additional income ventures as well. One such venture is a mobile petting zoo that she runs on the side.

Besides Orange Is the New Black, Danielle Brooks has also appeared in films such as Clemency, The Day Shall Come, and The Color Purple. In the latter, she was nominated for an Oscar, having previously been recognized with a Grammy Award and a Tony Award nomination for her Broadway work. She’s also a key cast member in the DC series Peacemaker and hosts Netflix’s Instant Dream Home.

Sebastian Hansen plays Henry

Who do we refer to as Henry? He is the younger sibling of Natalie, who is having a hard time forming friendships at his new school in the small town of Chuglass, Idaho.

Has Sebastian Hansen appeared in any other productions aside from his latest role? Previously, he was featured in the movie “Just Mercy” and the Apple TV+ series based on Stephen King’s novel “Lisey’s Story.

Jennifer Coolidge plays Vice Principal Marlene

What can be said about Vice Principal Marlene? She is the vice principal at Henry’s school and finds herself on an impromptu date with a villager from the Overworld who has somehow entered our reality.

Besides her iconic roles in American Pie, Legally Blonde, A Cinderella Story, Promising Young Woman, 2 Broke Girls, and The White Lotus (Seasons 1 & 2), Jennifer Coolidge has also graced our screens in Christopher Guest’s mockumentary films such as Best in Show, For Your Consideration, A Mighty Wind, and Mascots. More recently, she can be seen in movies like The Watcher, Shotgun Wedding, Single All the Way, Riff Raff, and others.

Rachel House voices Malgosha

Who is Malgosha, exactly? She is the autocratic leader of the Nether realm, known for her disdain towards creativity, with a malicious intent to annihilate the Overworld.

Has Rachel House worked on any other projects apart from those with Taika Waititi? She has collaborated frequently with him, appearing in movies like Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Thor: Ragnarok, Next Goal Wins, as well as The Portable Door, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and both Moana films.
