<p>Jack Black seems to have more or less confirmed his rumored role as Steve in the upcoming Minecraft movie.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The actor took to Instagram on Tuesday to post a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5yyqluSQpc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">short video</a> of himself on a film lot observing a rainbow before entering a trailer labeled “Steve, Minecraft.” The interior features promotional art of Steve as the actor smiles at the camera. </p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/gamer-culture/2024/01/03/jack-black-joins-live-action-minecraft-movie-reportedly-as-steve">report in January</a> stated Black would be voicing Minecraft’s mascot but had not been officially confirmed by the film’s production companies, Warner Bros. and Legendary. Although this <em>technically</em> isn’t an official announcement either, I'd say there's roughly a 99.99 percent chance that Black is involved.</p>
<p>The Minecraft movie, which has been in development in some form or another since 2014, is directed by <em>Nacho Libre</em> director Jared Hess. The cast includes Jason Momoa (<em>Aquaman, Game of Thrones</em>), Danielle Brooks (<em>The Color Purple</em>), Jennifer Coolidge (<em>The White Lotus, American Pie</em>), and Emma Myers (<em>Wednesday</em>). <em>Minecraft</em> is scheduled to hit theaters on April 4, 2025. </p>
<p>Jack Black is obviously no stranger to video game movies. He voiced Bowser in <em>The Super Mario Bros. Movie</em> and portrays Claptrap in the upcoming <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/gamer-culture/2024/02/21/the-borderlands-movies-first-trailer-looks-as-ridiculous-as-the-games"><em>Borderlands</em></a>. </p>
