Thanks to last year’s ‘A Minecraft Movie’ becoming an unexpectedly huge hit at the box office, the sequel has been in development for some time.
Now, per Deadline, ‘Roofman's Kirsten Dunst will show up in the new movie playing the avatar character Alex (voiced, but not actually seen facially in the first film, by Kate McKinnon).
The news comes following Dunst’s comments last August that she’d like to be a part of the ‘Minecraft’ follow-up since her kids love it and, “maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money?”
