Jack Black Takes Jason Momoa and Danielle Brooks Under His Wing in ‘A Minecraft Movie’ Teaser
Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Jason Momoa sporting shaggy bangs), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks) are transported into the world of Minecraft in the A Minecraft Movie teaser.
In the preview, the humans are mystified by the new realm they find themselves in. “What the hell?!,” exclaims Dawn, as she finds a pink, square sheep. That doesn’t even scratch the surface of what awaits for them. As they find out, “anything you can dream about here, you can make.” The group is guided by a fellow human named Steve (Jack Black), who teaches them how to survive in this new universe.

However, Steve’s introduction doesn’t make such a good impression on the group at first, with Natalie declaring, “This guy is such a toolbag.”
The official synopsis for the film reads, “Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative … the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.”
Jennifer Coolidge (who is not featured in the teaser) also has a starring role. The film was helmed by Jared Hess, with Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Jill Messick, Torfi Frans Olafsson, Vu Bui and Momoa serving as producers. Todd Hallowell, Kayleen Walters, Brian Mendoza, Jonathan Spaihts, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary and Anthony Tittanegro are also credited as executive producers.
A Minecraft Movie hits theaters on April 4, 2025.
