Who plays Jason Momoa in the Minecraft movie?
The first official trailer for the new Minecraft movie (official name Minecraft movie) revealed new information about the roles played by the film’s Actors. This includes Jason Momoa, who has been confirmed to play Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, according to the official logline.
The trailer only showed Momoa for a few seconds entering the Overworld alongside Henry (Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers), and Dawn (Danielle Brooks). In some of his footage, he seemed quite confused by what happened, possibly meaning he wasn’t going to be there with this group.
Fans see Momoa yelling, “Kadoosh!” as he transforms a group of small bricks into buckets attached to each other by a chain.
In another moment, Momoa’s character looks scared when he senses a creeper, a known creature. Minecraft games, creeps up behind him.
Throughout the footage, she wears blue jeans, a white and red top, and a bright pink jacket with fringes on the arms. A departure from his usual confident and cocky persona, this character seems to have a hard time fitting into this world in most of the footage so far.

What could happen in a Minecraft movie?
Based on the videos seen in the picture Minecraft trailer, fans could expect something similar to what happened in 2017 and 2019 Jumanji movies. In these films, various people from the real world entered the respective game through avatars such as Dr. Bravestone, Mouse Finbar, and Ruby Roundhouse.
While Jack Black appears to be playing the classic Minecraft character Steve, Momoa’s character could be someone from the outside world absorbed into the game.
His “Garbage Man” nickname might at least place him in that job from a real-world perspective, as there is no character in the Minecraft universe with that moniker.
Upcoming trailers may expand on his role in the upcoming video game adaptation, though Warner Bros. may be looking to keep surprises under wraps for the longtime action star before the film debuts.
Minecraft movie opens in theaters on April 4, 2025.
