With the phenomenal success of 'A Minecraft Movie,' raking in a staggering $995 million at the global box office, actress Kirsten Dunst is ready to dive into the action. The Oscar-nominated star has expressed her desire to join the franchise, and she has a compelling reason—her kids are huge fans of the original film.
In an interview with Town & Country, Dunst humorously remarked, "Maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money?" This candid comment reflects her ambition to be part of a financially lucrative project.
Director Jared Hess has already hinted at a sequel to the record-breaking film, which became Warner Bros.' third-largest opening of all time. He described the potential follow-up as a thrilling opportunity, stating, "We had so much fun making this movie. The gaming universe is incredibly rich, and there’s so much we didn’t get to explore."
Hess is already buzzing with excitement about revisiting this expansive world, with the anticipation that the sequel is in the works. He added, "Fans have been going wild for the teaser we dropped in the credits, and it’s definitely something we want to develop further."
The sequel is set to highlight a beloved character from the game, Alex, alongside Steve, voiced by Jack Black. Although Kate McKinnon previously lent her voice to Alex in a brief cameo, her face wasn’t shown, which leaves the door open for a surprising casting choice. Could Dunst reprise her iconic MJ red hair for this new role? Only time will tell!
