Minecraft, Simpsons Sequels Set for Same July 2027 Release

Warner Bros. has officially confirmed the long-anticipated sequel, Minecraft 2.

The film is scheduled for release on July 23, 2027, sharing its opening day with Disney's The Simpsons Movie 2.

This sets the stage for a major box office clash. Given that the first A Minecraft Movie earned a staggering $957.8 million globally after its April debut, The Simpsons sequel faces a formidable challenge.

Warner Bros. had previously marked that July date for an "untitled Minecraft sequel," so the final title may differ. What is confirmed is that director Jared Hess and writer Chris Galletta are returning. Stars like Jack Black and Jason Momoa are also expected to reprise their roles.

"Plot details remain deep in the mine for now," Warner Bros. teased.

Will this sequel replicate the viral frenzy of the first film's Chicken Jockey scene? Could Jack Black deliver another chart-topping anthem like "Steve's Lava Chicken"?

Most likely. While we wait, revisit IGN's review of A Minecraft Movie and discover how the film's team collaborated on a private server.
