Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures unveiled the first teaser trailer for the “Minecraft” film on Wednesday, previewing the highly anticipated video game adaptation. The live-action cast includes Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen and Emma Myers, but it’s likely the animated “Minecraft” characters that fans of the game are most excited to see.

The story follows four misfits — Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers), and Dawn (Brooks) — who are pulled through a mysterious portal to the Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. According to the official synopsis, “To get home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies) while embarking on a magical quest with an unlikely, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative… the skills they’ll need to thrive in the real world once again.”

Jared Hess (“Nacho Libre”) is directing the film adaptation, which has been in the works for ten years. Rob McElhenney had previously developed a version, but it never got off the ground.

Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Jason Momoa, Jill Messick, Torfi Frans Olafsson and Vu Bui serve as producers, and Todd Hallowell, Kayleen Walters, Brian Mendoza, Jonathan Spaihts, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary and Anthony Tittanegro serve as executive producers.

The director’s creative team includes director of photography Enrique Chediak (“127 Hours,” “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts”), production designer Grant Major (“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” “The Meg”), editor James Thomas (“Pokémon: Detective Pikachu,” the “Borat” films), VFX supervisor Dan Lemmon (“The Jungle Book,” “The Batman”) and costume designer Amanda Neale (“The Meg,” “What We Do in the Shadows”). Casting is by Rachel Tenner. Music supervisors are Gabe Hilfer and Karyn Rachtman, and the score is by Mark Mothersbaugh (“Thor: Ragnarok,” the “LEGO” films).

“A Minecraft Movie” opens exclusively in theaters April 4, 2025. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and in China by Legendary East.
