Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Jason Momoa with a messy fringe), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks) are transported into the world of Minecraft in the A Minecraft Movie preview.

In the preview, the humans are stunned by the new realm they’re entering. “What the hell?!” Dawn exclaims as she finds a pink, square sheep. That’s just the tip of the iceberg of what awaits them. When they figure it out, “you can create anything you can imagine here.” The group is led by a fellow human named Steve (Jack Black), who teaches them how to survive in this new universe.

However, Steve’s introduction initially doesn’t make a good impression on the group. Natalie says, “That guy is a real loser.”

The film’s official synopsis reads: “Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity isn’t just about crafting—it’s about survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers), and Dawn (Brooks)—are struggling with everyday problems when they’re suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. 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 tinkerer, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and reconnect with the qualities that make them uniquely creative…the skills they’ll need to thrive in the real world once again.”

Jennifer Coolidge (who does not appear in the teaser) also has a starring role. The film is directed by Jared Hess, and is produced by Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Jill Messick, Torfi Frans Olafsson, Vu Bui, and Momoa. Todd Hallowell, Kayleen Walters, Brian Mendoza, Jonathan Spaihts, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary, and Anthony Tittanegro are also listed as executive producers.

A Minecraft Movie will be released in theaters on April 4, 2025.
