**Netflix to Release Exclusive Documentaries and Behind-the-Scenes Content for Upcoming Jason Momoa-Led *Minecraft* Movie**

 

*April 18, 2025 – Global*

 

Netflix has officially announced a slate of new content tied to the highly anticipated *Minecraft* movie, starring action superstar Jason Momoa. As excitement builds around the film adaptation of the global gaming phenomenon, Netflix is capitalizing on the momentum by releasing a series of documentaries, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes specials that will take fans deep into the creative process behind the blocky world’s cinematic debut.

 

### A Bold Cinematic Adventure in the Making

 

Scheduled for theatrical release in late 2025, the *Minecraft* movie has already generated massive buzz, especially with the casting of Jason Momoa in a leading role. Known for his powerhouse performances in *Aquaman*, *Game of Thrones*, and *Dune*, Momoa brings a commanding presence to the pixelated world of *Minecraft*, a game known more for creativity and exploration than narrative depth.

 

Directed by Jared Hess (*Napoleon Dynamite*, *Nacho Libre*), the movie promises to blend humor, action, and a heartfelt storyline that expands the *Minecraft* universe in ways fans have never seen before. While specific plot details remain under wraps, early rumors suggest the story revolves around a peaceful block-builder who is forced into a quest to save their world from destruction—an homage to the game’s survival mechanics and creative spirit.

 

### Netflix Steps Into the Crafting Table

 

In a strategic content partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures and Mojang Studios, Netflix will offer a treasure trove of *Minecraft*-related content ahead of and following the film’s release. This includes:

 

– **“Crafting the World: The Making of Minecraft the Movie”** – A full-length behind-the-scenes documentary chronicling the film’s development, from concept art and world-building to costume design and motion capture technology.

 

– **“Block by Block: The Story of Minecraft”** – A documentary exploring the history of the *Minecraft* game, its cultural impact, and how it grew from an indie title to one of the most influential games of all time.

 

– **Cast Interviews and Featurettes** – Including an intimate sit-down with Jason Momoa as he discusses stepping into the digital world, what attracted him to the role, and the physical challenges of acting in a largely CGI-driven environment.

 

– **“Realms of Imagination”** – A mini-series showcasing how the game’s massive community inspired different aspects of the film, featuring interviews with fan creators, game modders, and artists.

 

– **Minecraft IRL (In Real Life)** – A fun and family-friendly show that brings the blocky universe into the real world through massive LEGO-style builds, fan recreations, and celebrity challenges.

 

### Jason Momoa Brings Star Power and Heart

 

Momoa’s casting came as a surprise to many, but early buzz suggests he’s bringing a new level of energy and charisma to the project. Netflix’s upcoming interview special, “Jason Momoa: Building Worlds,” gives fans a closer look at his passion for the game and why he sees the *Minecraft* movie as more than just another video game adaptation.

 

“I’ve been a fan of *Minecraft* for years—watching my kids play it, playing it myself,” Momoa says in a preview clip. “What blew me away was the emotional depth we were able to find in this world of blocks. It’s funny, it’s adventurous, and it’s got real heart.”

 

He also noted the unique challenge of acting in a world so visually stylized, likening it to a “high-tech puppet show where every movement counts.”

 

### A New Frontier for Game Adaptations

 

Netflix’s initiative reflects a broader trend in the entertainment industry—bridging video games with cinema and streaming in innovative ways. Following the success of *Arcane* (*League of Legends*), *The Witcher*, and *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners*, Netflix is carving out a niche in adapting popular game properties into must-watch shows and docs.

 

“What sets *Minecraft* apart is that it’s not just a game—it’s a platform for storytelling,” said Sarah Lambert, Netflix’s Head of Interactive and Gaming Content. “With Jason Momoa’s star power and Jared Hess’s vision, we knew we had something special. We wanted to give fans more than just a movie—we wanted to invite them into the process and celebrate the community that built this world.”

 

### Community Collaboration

 

In a nod to the game’s community roots, some Netflix content will even feature fan contributions. Selected Minecraft YouTubers and streamers have been invited to participate in special episodes of *Minecraft IRL* and provide commentary in the “Block by Block” docuseries. The streaming giant also announced an open call for fan art and builds, some of which may appear in the end credits of the film or in upcoming specials.

 

### Release Dates and Availability

 

The first of the Netflix documentaries, *Block by Block: The Story of Minecraft*, is set to premiere in June 2025, followed by *Crafting the World* in August. Additional content, including cast interviews and fan showcases, will roll out leading up to the theatrical release of the *Minecraft* movie, currently scheduled for December 2025.

 

All content will be available to stream globally on Netflix, with select episodes dubbed and subtitled in over 30 languages to reflect *Minecraft*’s international fanbase.

As the line between gaming and cinema continues to blur, Netflix’s multifaceted approach to the *Minecraft* movie may very well redefine how studios build hype and deepen engagement around major releases. With Jason Momoa leading the charge, and a vast world of creativity to draw from, this could be one of the most unique multimedia events of the year.
