Spider-Man and Civil War star Kirsten Dunst is reportedly joining A Minecraft Movie 2 to play Alex after teasing her interest in a sequel last year.
Deadline reports that she has now signed on with Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures to play a part in the video game-turned-movie sequel. Plot details and an official title for the Minecraft movie follow-up are also being kept under wraps as it builds toward a July 23, 2027, release date.
It makes sense to see Dunst, who is also known for her roles in Jumanji in the ‘90s and last year’s Roofman, picking up her tools for A Minecraft Movie 2 to play Alex. Although the other sandbox video game icon was absent for the major events of the 2025 Minecraft film, she did appear for a brief, off-screen post-credits cameo.
