Lego Sets Hint at Mobs in Jack Black's Minecraft Movie

Lego has unveiled an exciting new range of sets inspired by the upcoming live-action film, *A Minecraft Movie*, starring Jack Black as Steve. These sets not only offer fans a sneak peek into the movie's plot but also highlight which Minecraft mobs will make an appearance on the big screen.

According to Games Radar, two sets have been announced so far: the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack. These sets will complement the existing lineup of regular Minecraft Lego sets and will feature minifigures of Jack Black's Steve and Jason Momoa's character, The Garbage Man.

The Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring set, priced at $49.99 and comprising 491 pieces, hints at a thrilling gladiator-style battle scene in the film. It showcases Momoa's The Garbage Man character engaged in combat with a zombie riding a giant chicken. While it's unclear whether this represents a baby zombie on a regular-sized chicken or a scaled-up version, the entire setup is about twice the height of The Garbage Man. This set also includes Steve, his friend Henry, and a giant zombie pigman, along with a fighting ring, a chest filled with gold, and a small viewing stand equipped with weapons.

The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set, priced at $69.99 and containing 555 pieces, indicates that the Nether's iconic marshmallow-like villain, the Ghast, will also feature in the film. This set depicts a large-scale battle in a regular overworld village and includes a village minifigure, two piglins, Steve, Natalie, Dawn, and an iron golem.

Both sets will be available starting March 1, a month before *A Minecraft Movie* premieres in theaters on April 4.

The film, which was officially revealed in September, faced immediate backlash from fans who criticized the blend of live-action characters with a green screen-generated animated world. In response, one fan even recreated the trailer in a fully animated style. Addressing these concerns in a November interview with IGN, the director and producer acknowledged the feedback but assured fans that they were "ready for everything."
