Minecraft is the bestselling PC game to date and the second bestselling video game of all time, after Tetris.
Steve Carell is likely to be the first actor to join Warner Bros’s Minecraft movie, which adapts the bestselling Mojang game for the big screen.
The studio acquired the movie rights in February; the film is set to be released on 25 May 2019.
The film will be directed by It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney, who wrote the screenplay alongside Wonder Woman writer Jason Fuchs.
