Deadline reported Wednesday that The White Lotus star Coolidge — who just won her second Emmy Award on Monday for her performance in the hit HBO series — has been cast in Warner Bros. Pictures' upcoming Minecraft movie. The film is currently shooting in New Zealand, as the outlet reported.

Beyond Coolidge, Momoa and Black, Minecraft's cast also includes Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple) and Sebastian Eugene Hansen, per Deadline. The movie is currently expected to release in 2025, according to its IMDb page.
