Minecraft 2 really engaged Kirsten Dunst
The Oscar-nominated actress continues to alternate between auteur cinema and major productions.
She had said it. She did it.
Kirsten Dunst officially joins the sequel Minecraft: the moviecurrently under construction at Warner Bros. and Legendary.
Last summer, the Oscar-nominated actress was still joking about her desire to join the franchise, explaining that her children loved the first film… and that a big check wouldn’t hurt. “Maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money?” she said with irony. Obviously, the message has gotten through. Kirsten Dunst will be in the casting of Minecraft 2 !
We do not yet know what role she will play in the film, opposite Jack Black and Jason Momoa. The plot is still a total mystery and the studio promises that details, including Kirsten Dunst’s character, remain “well buried at the bottom of the mine“.
Jared Hess will return to direct and co-write the screenplay with Chris Galletta.
In any case, it’s further proof that the actress knows how to navigate arthouse cinema and big productions. Kirsten Dunst continues to maintain an eclectic filmography, between her collaborations with Sofia Coppola (Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, The Prey), his more pop roles (American Girlsthe trilogy Spider-Man). Recently seen in Civil War by Alex Garland and The Power of the Dog by Jane Campion – which earned her her first Oscar nomination – this year she will be appearing in The Entertainment System is Down of Cannes double Palmé Ruben Östlund.
Really far from the universe of Minecraft 2which will be released in July 2027 in cinemas.
