The film will star Jack Black, Amy Poehler, Scott Menville, Ronnie del Carmen, Matt Doherty, James Earl Jones, and Danielle Brooks. In the film, Steve and his friends must unite together to defeat Herobrine.

Plans for the film began as early as March 2022 with two films being made by Freddie Goodwin. Mob Productions approached Goodwin and told him to design two films as "seperate events", inspired greatly by Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019) and was ordered to use the villain Herobrine.

Development

In March 2022, a film series was in early discussions in development with two films being made by Freddie Goodwin. Mob Productions approached Goodwin and told him to design two films as "seperate events", inspired greatly by Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019) and was ordered to use the villain Herobrine. In talks regarding how to make things different to the first film, considering that film used Herobrine as a villain, the first film's villain was a "spirit of the real thing".

Goodwin wanted to have Herobrine rule the world but felt that was a very boring and lazy concept and chose to rethink a plan for the film. Initially, the plan was to have Herobrine destroy the galaxy... and the game core... and have the heroes use Public Servers to restore reality, however felt that wouldn't be realistic in servers being active if the games "engine" was "killed".

Goodwin talked with various different actors to portray Herobrine and believed it'd be a better idea to use more than one villain. We wanted to rebuild the Legion of Herobrine, do it the correct way, from the source material because, in the first film, we used these villains in a much different way, they were real, but Herobrine wasn't, so we couldn't accomplish absolutely everything we wanted. Now the fact Herobrine is really going to be there, the villains have much more closer adaption.

Goodwin completed early stages of development on both films by June 2022. Goodwin had discussed having two main villains for both films but have a third be the second main for both, however felt that wouldn't exactly be a good plan or storytelling.
