Lego Unveils New Minecraft Movie Sets Featuring Jack Black and Jason Momoa
Ahead of the upcoming live-action Minecraft movie starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, Lego has announced two new sets offering glimpses into the film's action-packed scenes. As reported by Games Radar, these sets – the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring and The Ghast Balloon Village Attack – complement the existing Minecraft Lego lineup, adding minifigures of Black's Steve and Momoa's Garbage Man.
The Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring ($49.99, 491 pieces) depicts a gladiator-style battle featuring Momoa's character facing off against a zombie riding a giant chicken. The scale of the chicken and zombie remains unclear, but the mount is significantly larger than The Garbage Man. The set also includes Steve, Henry, a giant zombie pigman, a treasure chest, and a small viewing stand with weapons.
The Ghast Balloon Village Attack set ($69.99, 555 pieces) showcases the Nether's Ghast in a large-scale battle within a village setting. This set includes a villager, two piglins, Steve, Natalie, Dawn, and an iron golem.
Both sets launch March 1st, a month before A Minecraft Movie hits theaters on April 4th. The film's initial trailer faced criticism for the contrast between live-action characters and the animated world, a reaction the director and producer acknowledged to IGN in November, stating they were prepared for diverse audience responses.
