Emma Myers joins the cast of Minecraft

Wednesday fame actor Emma Myers has joined the cast of the Minecraft feature film, as per a report on Deadline. The movie is led by Aquaman star Jason Momoa and is helmed by Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess.

The film also stars Danielle Brooks and Sebastian Eugene Hansen in prominent roles. While the film will be about a popular videogame, the plot details are still kept under wraps. 

Warner Bros live-action Minecraft film was first announced in 2014. After several announced and missed release dates, the studio recently revealed the film's release date to be April 4, 2025.

Momoa’s casting was announced last year in April, but the film has been dealing with development issues right from the beginning. The film was initially meant to be directed by Shawn Levy. But he left the project due to scheduling issues and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator/star Rob McElhenney stepped up to fill in his shoes. But that plan didn’t take, and eventually, Peter Sollett was brought in to work on the project, who finally handed over the reins to Hess.

Lee will produce alongside Mary Parent while executive producers include Jon Berg, Cale Boyter, and Jon Spaihts. The video game hails from Sweden’s Mojang Studios, with Mojang’s Lydia Winters and Vu Bui also producing the film
