Kirsten Dunst's Surprising Career Move

Kirsten Dunst is a Hollywood darling, celebrated for her collaborations with visionary directors like Sofia Coppola and Lars von Trier. But in a recent interview with Town & Country magazine, she dropped a bombshell: she’s totally game to star in ‘Minecraft 2’—and for a very relatable reason.

Why ‘Minecraft 2’? It's All About the Cash!

In a candid moment, Dunst confessed that her kids loved the first ‘Minecraft’ movie and she wouldn't mind raking in some serious cash: "Maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money?" Talk about a pragmatic approach to her career!

‘Minecraft’ Dominates the Box Office

The original ‘Minecraft’ film, featuring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, became a blockbuster sensation, grossing a staggering $955 million and securing its place as the third highest-grossing movie of 2025 so far. Despite the critical panning it faced, the film struck a chord with Gen-Z audiences, igniting viral trends that swept social media.

Dunst’s Artistic Roots Remain Strong

While she’s eyeing lucrative projects, Dunst hasn’t abandoned her artistic roots. She’s currently working on several indie films, including the mermaid thriller ‘Reptilia’ and a new collaboration with Coppola. As Coppola put it, “Kirsten makes cool choices...She can be fully sincere without ever being embarrassing.”
