Ambitious. Jack Black intends to win an Oscar for his role in the film adaptation of Minecraft

The actor will play the main character of the sandbox from Mojang Studios – Steve.

In Black’s interview with the Gamesradar portal, the topic of the upcoming film adaptation of the cult title was touched upon. The actor spoke about how he prepares for the role. In particular, he plays a lot of Minecraft to understand the rules of the virtual world and develop some habits to embody the image on the screen.

Jack hopes that members of the American Film Academy will appreciate his approach and give him the coveted statuette. However, the chances of this are very small, but lately everything has been changing, and the Oscar may well surprise.

The filming process for adapting the game began in January. The release will happen next year. Along with Jack Black, Jason Momoa (“Aquaman”), Daniel Brooks (“Peacemaker,” “Orange is the New Black,” “The Color Purple”), Emma Myers (“Wednesday”) and others will appear on the screen.
