Minecraft Movie Sequel Titled 'Squared,' Dunst Joins Cast

Get ready blockheads, because the follow-up to the hit 'A Minecraft Movie' is officially on its way and it's bringing some big names with it! The sequel has just been given a title: 'A Minecraft Movie Squared.' Yes, they're leaning into the math puns, and honestly, we're here for it.

Adding to the excitement, Kirsten Dunst is set to star as Alex, one of the main player characters in the beloved sandbox game. This casting news is sure to generate a lot of buzz among fans who have been eagerly awaiting more details about the film's direction and cast.

We're also hearing that Matt Berry, who voiced the memorable Nitwit in the first film, will be returning for 'Squared' in a much more significant capacity. This time, Berry will be portraying a human character, though his exact identity remains under wraps. However, a recently released clip hints that he might be playing a character who dismisses a costume choice by saying, 'Steve would not be wearing that.' This has led to speculation that he could be embodying Herobrine, a notorious creepypasta figure and the evil counterpart to Jack Black's Steve.

Director Jared Hess and Mojang Chief Creative Officer are reportedly steering the ship for this new installment, promising to bring the same creative vision that made the first movie a hit. Details about the plot are still scarce, but the title and casting hints suggest we're in for another adventure steeped in the unique world of Minecraft. Stay tuned for more updates as we get them!
