Despite the criticism of its adaptation and graphics, “A Minecraft Movie” is one of the most anticipated titles of 2025, especially due to the number of popular stars cast in leading roles and its crazy visuals.
Jason Momoa and Jack Black are just two of them. The stars of Aquaman and School of Rock have been cast to play Garett Garrison and Steve, the main character from the video game created by Mojang.
Originally, the film was to be directed by Shawn Levy but ended up in the hands of Jared Hess, who is known for Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, two comedy classics. Here, check out how much the stars have earned…
A Minecraft Movie rumored cast salary
If there is one thing that cannot be denied about “A Minecraft Movie”, it’s that its graphics are quite incredible, and this is partly due to its high budget, which according to Showbiz Galore was $100 million.
This amount not only covers production elements but also the salaries of the stars. The same source reported what the lead actors might have earned for their respective roles, though this information has not been officially confirmed.
If the information is correct, Jason Momoa would have become the highest-paid cast member, earning $12 million for his role as The Garbage Man. Meanwhile, Jack Black would take the second spot with $3 million.
The salary difference between the stars is quite significant, and even more so compared to the women in the cast. These amounts often increase once the film is released, so it’s not the final total but just what they earn for their roles.
