A Minecraft Movie 2 (TBA)

A post-credit scene in the first movie is key to where Minecraft could go in the next installment, according to director Jared Hess:

Alex was added to the game in 2014 to act as Steve's counterpart and, according to Hess, is a sign of things potentially to come.

"[The world of Minecraft is] endless," He told GameSpot. "I mean, there's so many biomes, so many crazy, amazing characters and creatures we haven't even touched on. And, you know, Alex [is] one of the massively iconic characters, right on equal ground with Steve. You can't fit everything in one movie, so you've got to kind of parse it out thinking ahead. But if this one does well, man we're excited to jump back in."

A senior director of Minecraft entertainment, also weighs in on the future of the Minecraft franchise:

Torfi Frans Olafsson, senior director of Minecraft entertainment and online, echoed that sentiment, adding, "In all seriousness, not only do we have other dimensions, other mobs, but also other ways of playing Minecraft, because Minecraft is played in so many ways, by so many people. So the opportunities are really, really endless."

It's worth noting that while we see Alex's trademark red hair in the scene, her face is never shown. So while there are certainly plans for the character, she seemingly has not been cast at this point.
