The latest teaser trailer for A Minecraft Movie finally revealed the look for two of the most popular mobs — the zombie and skeleton. The zombie in the movie faithfully recreates the in-game mob, with the signature blue jeans and the light blue/green shirt. The human-like texture not only makes it look scarier but also gives it a look that is different from the regular mob.

The green hue of the skin and the hair accurately represents the look of the mob and gives it the unique distinction of blurring the fine line between a zombie from the movies and a Minecraft zombie.

Perhaps the skeleton is the highlight of the teaser trailer since the menacing look of the movie character does a great job of portraying the mob. If you are a player who loves wandering the biomes at night, you've had your fair share of arrows whizzing past your head. This recreation of the bony entity with the signature square head and a menacing weapon in hand looks right out of the game.

The skeleton is known to wield a host of weapons and sport different types of armor, so you must wait till the movie's release on April 4, 2025, to see if variants of the popular mob are included.
