“A Minecraft Movie” Trailer: Jason Momoa Dons a Hot-Pink Look, Jack Black Is 'Such a Toolbag' in First Teaser
Based on the popular video game 'Minecraft,' the film is in theaters April 4
Jason Momoa and Jack Black are bringing moviegoers into the world of Minecraft.
On Sept. 4, Warner Bros. Pictures debuted the first teaser trailer for A Minecraft Movie, showcasing Momoa, 45, as a man who is mysteriously brought to the world of the popular video game series alongside costars Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks and Sebastian Eugene Hansen.
Set to The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour," the teaser shows Minecraft's trademark building blocks, monsters and villains — as well as Black's character, who introduces himself to the group simply as Steve, much to the other character's chagrin.
"This guy is such a toolbag," Myers' character Natalie says in the trailer.
Jennifer Coolidge is also set to appear in the film, though she does not make an appearance onscreen in the trailer.
