Summary
- Both of the Minecraft post-credit scenes have leaked, and no, it’s not an April Fool’s Day joke.
- They leaked yesterday, revealing who Matt Berry plays alongside a surprising new character.
- The first post-credit scene even lays the groundwork for a sequel.
Both of the Minecraft movie post-credit scenes (yes, there are two) have leaked, and I’ll preface this with a spoiler warning, but frankly, think of it as a content warning. Disturbing stuff ahead.
Spoilers for the Minecraft movie.
This will sound like a bad April Fool’s Day joke, but bear with me: Matt Berry plays a villager who learns to speak English, falls in love with Jennifer Coolidge’s character after she runs him over, and the two get engaged. Oh, and Coolidge speaks villager.
The moment I hit you with my car, I knew you were the one.
It’s not AI, it’s not a deepfake, and it’s not a meme. It doesn’t even appear to be a fake leak circulated by Warner Bros. for April Fool’s Day. It was shared yesterday. And to add even more credence to this uncanny love affair, Matt Berry was in talks to star in the movie alongside Jason Momoa way back in 2023.
Many at the time assumed he was signing up to play Steve. But with Jack Black taking on the role, that left the Berry question up in the air. Finally, two years later, we have an answer, although I kind of wish we didn’t.
Minecraft Post-Credit Scene Reveals Alex Like She’s An Avenger
I did say there were two post-credit scenes. The first is a lot less uncanny, but true to everything we know about the Minecraft movie so far, it’s bizarre. Steve, who has escaped from the game world in what is definitely not just a rehash of Jumanji, finally returns home, no longer yearning for the mines but for the comfort of his childhood. Only someone else has moved in. Drum roll, please.
Out steps Alex, and when she says her name, Steve raises an eyebrow knowingly. It’s almost like when Nick Fury showed up to recruit a new Avenger in the old MCU movies, only here, it’s a default skin with no backstory.
Part of me is still concerned this might all be a big April Fool’s Day joke. At any rate, Warner Bros. is clearly confident that this movie will perform well at the box, enough that it’s already laying the groundwork for a sequel.
