Last August, Kirsten Dunst gave an interview to Town and Country Magazine declaring that while she was still committed to doing smaller movies, she’d love to do a movie like Minecraft 2, “because her kids loved the first one and because she’d like to make a pile of cash. ‘Maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money?'”
Well, Dunst’s wish is coming true, as Deadline reports that the actress has now been cast to star in the upcoming sequel to box office juggernaut A Minecraft Movie. She’s specifically been cast as Alex, one of the game’s default characters, whose arrival was teased in a post-credits sequence at the end of the first film.
