A Minecraft Movie: What role is Jason Momoa playing?
A Minecraft Movie is just a few months away from release, and the makers have started sharing more details about its plot and characters. Fans got their first look at the anticipated film in a teaser trailer released a few months ago. Now, Warner Brothers and Mojang Studios have released a short video with some behind-the-scenes footage.
The clip was shared across various social media platforms, including X and YouTube. It mostly talks about the making of the movie, but also reveals an interesting detail about Jason Momoa's character, Garett Garrison.
Jason Momoa’s role in A Minecraft Movie
When the teaser of the movie dropped, a lot of fans were surprised by Jason Momoa's appearance. Sporting a pink leather jacket and long hair, his fashion did not fit with the timeline of the story. Well, now we know why.
The recently released video shows the makers of the movie talking about Garett the Garbage Man. He was one of the best arcade gamers in the 80s and hasn’t moved on from that life. He still reminisces about his glory days and this is the reason for his unorthodox fashion sense.
It will be really interesting to see how the character of Garett fits in the world of Minecraft. Considering his background as a gamer, it is expected that he will try to beat everyone else while playing the game. In another exclusive look at the movie, we also got to see an interaction between Garett and Steve, played by Jack Black.
The scene shows Black explaining how the crafting table works. However, Garrett says that he can do it in his way. This results in the creation of the twin bucket which does not exist in the game. Jason Momoa’s character will likely be the hot-headed one, taking on hostile mobs without much preparation.
Apart from Momoa’s character, we also got to know something about Henry, played by Sebastian Hansen. He is more of a modder and tweaker in the real world. Meanwhile, the video also reveals that Steve has been stuck in the blocky world of Minecraft for years.
Fans weren't pleased with the teaser when it dropped a few months ago. They were also unhappy with Jack Black's appearance as Steve. However, the release of a proper trailer could go a long way towards changing their mind.
