[Mobius 1]

His line about working with Denis Villeneuve in Dune - "he made me feel beautiful. This is how I want my career to go" - lasted exactly two big paycheck films huh.

 

[AgeEighty]

It was going to be him, The Rock, or Dave Bautista. Something made it inevitable.

 

[NippleViking]

Please tell me this won't be live-action. Please

Unless they do a Jumanji-type deal, I don't see how that's possible.

Doing it animated would be pretty weird as well though considering the cube pixel graphics. God, why even make a movie out of this

[AlgusUnderdunk]

I hope to god it's not an Isekai because the way most people play Minecraft it's gonna get imperial.

 

[RedHeat]

[dusan]

A Free Guy movie but in the Minecraft universe.

With each step we get closer to the Smash Cinematic Universe.....

[PennyStonks]

He could punch trees

 

[JigglesBunny]

There are no words for how stupid every word in that headline is.

 

[Galactic Specter]

Is he actually playing Steve? He definitely got the physique for a character that punches trees.

The whole plot of the game gets rewriten pratically every year. Don't think it would work.

Can't wait to see a live action creeper.

Probably already in pre-production.

Plus Epic has been building out a whole lore for Fortnite BR now. No way it's not coming within the next 5 years.

I wonder if it'll be a Jumanji type thing. Probably right? Queue lots of in references.
