Casting

On April 2, 2025, Minecraft:Jack Black and Jason Momoa were asked many questions in a Q&A for the film. Black was asked if he would be playing Minecraft:Herobrine in a sequel. His response was "Dude, you want to know if there’s Hero Brian in the sequel? We don’t know. We don't know... I hope so."<ref>Template:Citation</ref>

On April 4, 2025, Minecraft:Emma Myers and Minecraft:Sebastian Hansen told Yahoo UK how likely they thought a sequel would be. Emma said that she would love to do as many as they want, saying "Oh yeah, please. Minecraft 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 — as many as they'll have me in I would love to do!" Sebastian revealed that it would be "great [to] keep it going" but also is unsure how it could go about because of the way in which the movie tells a story entirely new to the world of the game so that means a potential sequel could go anywhere and do anything, which is an overwhelming concept.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>

In March 2026, it was reported that Template:W would star in the film as Alex, with Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Minecraft:Danielle Brooks, Matt Berry, and Minecraft:Jennifer Coolidge returning.<ref name=MarchInfo/>
