What We Do In the Shadows Star Joins Jason Momoa For Minecraft Adaptation
Things are about to get more epic as Matt Berry is reported to join the Minecraft movie.
Matt Berry, renowned for his role as Laszlo Cravensworth in FX's What We Do in the Shadows, is reportedly in talks to join Jason Momoa in Warner Bros' Minecraft, as stated by Deadline.
Warner Bros. has been switching teams back and forth for years since the first announcement of their plans for a Minecraft movie in 2014.
The film has gone through a bunch of changes and had various directors assigned to it, but they all ended up leaving the project.
The Office star Steve Carell was also previously reported to be in the movie, but that's not the case anymore. The project has undergone some major changes since then, so he is no longer believed to be part of the movie.
However, things are finally looking up now. They've got a new director — Jared Hess, a big-name star — Jason Momoa, and even a release date set — April 4, 2025.
It seems like the long-awaited and heavily reworked Minecraft movie will finally see the light. And now Matt Berry apparently joins the project.
No specific details about the plot are known at the moment. Well, actually, the plot is the last thing that Minecraft is about. This game is all about building, surviving, and exploring a massive open world.
You can play solo or team up with friends to create impressive structures while defending yourself against creepy creatures.
So now it's getting even more intriguing, given that the character Matt Berry might portray is neither disclosed.
Minecraft fans and movie enthusiasts shared their thoughts about the news. Those who played Minecraft before find it difficult to guess Matt Berry's role, as there are no specific details about the movie.
He might play a villager who Jason Momoa will be trading with. Or he might become a griefer, who will be causing the antagonist a lot of trouble.
Those who haven't played the video game, but are familiar with Matt Berry from his roles, are definitely planning on seeing Minecraft in theaters if the talented actor will show up.
