Jason Momoa just pulled off the ultimate flex—bringing both his girlfriend and his mom to the Minecraft Movie premiere in London. That’s right, the man who could probably punch a Creeper in real life attended the Cineworld Leicester Square premiere on March 30th with Adria Arjona, his stunning partner-in-crime, and his lovely mother, Coni Momoa.
And because Jason Momoa doesn’t do anything subtly, he and Adria showed up in coordinating purple outfits like they were the coolest prom couple on the block. Meanwhile, his mom probably spent the night reminding everyone that she’s the reason this beautiful, muscle-bound Aquaman exists.
A Star-Studded Premiere, or The Coolest Block Party Ever
Joining Jason on the red carpet were his fellow blocky adventurers—Danielle Brooks, Jack Black, Jennifer Coolidge, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Hansen. Also making an appearance? Director Jared Hess, aka the genius behind Napoleon Dynamite, which means this film is guaranteed to have at least one hilarious llama-related joke.
Last week, the cast (minus the legendary Jennifer Coolidge, who was presumably busy being fabulous somewhere else) hit up Mexico City for another round of promo. If we’re being honest, nothing screams “Minecraft” like a bunch of A-list actors jet-setting across the world to talk about pixelated cows.
What Even Is This Movie?
For those who need a refresher, A Minecraft Movie is based on the iconic video game that has stolen countless hours of our lives (and turned us all into accidental architects). The story follows four misfits:
– Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa) – which sounds like the coolest garbage collector job ever
– Henry (Hansen) – who is probably questioning why he ever agreed to this adventure
– Natalie (Myers) – likely the one with all the common sense
– Dawn (Brooks) – the badass who’s here to save the day
The squad is suddenly yanked through a mysterious portal (classic) and dumped into the Overworld, a land made entirely of cubes and chaotic surprises. To get back home, they must team up with Steve (Jack Black, because of course), dodge Piglins and Zombies, and unleash their inner creativity to survive. Essentially, it’s like every time you try to play survival mode for the first time and get chased by a skeleton with a bow and arrow.
When & Where to Watch This Blockbuster (Get It?)
The film drops in theaters April 2nd internationally and April 4th in North America, so grab your pickaxes and prepare for a nostalgia-filled ride.
Oh, and for those keeping track of fashion details: Adria Arjona rocked a Victoria Beckham dress (Posh Spice would be proud), and Emma Myers stunned in a Rodarte dress. Meanwhile, Jason Momoa rocked Jason Momoa vibes, which is honestly a fashion statement in itself.
Minecraft is about to go Hollywood, and Jason Momoa is leading the charge. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go dig a hole straight down and see where it takes me.
