In a playful yet pointed remark about Hollywood economics, Kirsten Dunst revealed her interest in starring in the highly anticipated sequel, Minecraft 2. Speaking with People, the 43-year-old actress quipped, “Maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money?“
Dunst’s comments come amid discussions of her career strategy and the financial realities of filmmaking. She noted that her two sons, Ennis (7) and James (4), thoroughly enjoyed the original A Minecraft Movie, fueling her interest in joining its sequel, Minecraft 2.
Why Minecraft 2 Makes Sense for Kirsten Dunst
As Entertainment Weekly highlights, A Minecraft Movie has already proven to be a box-office juggernaut, ranking among the top-grossing films of 2025 and claiming the highest domestic box office of the year (EW). This kind of financial performance aligns perfectly with Dunst’s savvy—and humorous—desire to “not lose money” on a project.
Dunst Reflects on Her Career and Pay Equity
Beyond her interest in franchise blockbusters, Dunst has been vocal about the gender pay gap in Hollywood.
