A number of Hollywood insiders are reporting that Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa, is within the remaining levels of talks to star within the Minecraft film – so is Momoa going to be Minecraft Steve? That’s wanting unlikely proper now, because it appears the movie’s producers is likely to be drawing much less from the sandbox recreation and extra from Telltale’s Minecraft: Story Mode to construct the forged.
Initially reported by The Ankler, and individually confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter and Selection, Momoa is now within the remaining negotiations to take the lead position in a live-action Minecraft film. Jared Hess, in all probability greatest often known as the director of Napoleon Dynamite, is on board to direct the movie.
That unique Ankler article is paywalled, however as noted by Geoff Keighley, it means that Mamoa goes to play Gabriel the Warrior, a personality who originated in Minecraft: Story Mode. In fact, this film has already been by means of loads of iterations. At numerous factors, it was going to be directed by Peter Sollett, it was going to star Steve Carell, and it was going to launch on March 4, 2022.
Developer Mojang proudly introduced the movie again in 2019 with a easy plot abstract: it’s “the story of a teenage lady and her unlikely group of adventurers. After the malevolent Ender Dragon units out on a path of destruction, they need to save their lovely, blocky Overworld.” Whether or not any aspect of that story stays within the remaining manufacturing stays to be seen, and that announcement has since been deleted from the Minecraft web site. (Archive.org has it, although.)
