Warner Bros. has released a new clip for A Minecraft Movie, and it doesn’t feature any building, crafting, or pickaxes. However, there does seem to be love in the air for an unorthodox pairing. White Lotus actress Jennifer Coolidge’s character is on a date at a fancy restaurant with a CGI Villager.
The short new trailer for A Minecraft Movie–titled Be Mine–was shared on YouTube (seen below). The dinner scene is clearly over the top and played for laughs, focusing on Coolidge’s character to start. “I recently got divorced from my husband, Clemente, and the main reason is, you know, he didn’t have any personality,” she says. “Not like you.” The camera then shows off the Villager, who moves his unibrow up and down in excitement.
That’s not the last joke for the 30-second video, either. A waitress appears near the end, asking if the couple is “finished.” This leads to Coolidge’s character replying: “I think he’s Swedish.” This works on another level, too, since Minecraft was created by Swedish developer Markus “Notch” Persson and the studio Mojang is based in Sweden.
In February, we got a look at the villain for A Minecraft Movie in a trailer, which is a Piglin from the Nether called Malgosha. But we also saw the first glimpse at Coolidge’s character in that video, too. It shows her hitting a Villager with a car, which apparently will be a meet-cute for the couple.
Along with Coolidge, A Minecraft Movie stars Jason Mamoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Sebastian Hansen, and Jack Black, who originally wasn’t going to play Steve. Black also revealed his most-played game earlier this month, and no, it’s not Minecraft or a Super Mario Bros. game.
A Minecraft Movie will hit theaters on April 4.
