Oscar-nominated actress Danielle Brooks is switching gears from prestige film to pixelated fun in the upcoming Minecraft movie. Brooks plays Dawn, a quirky mobile zoo owner, alongside Jack Black and Jason Momoa. While new to gaming, Brooks embraced the physicality and creativity of the role, performing fight scenes and aerial stunts. She sees the film as an opportunity to connect with her inner child and represent Black women in gaming. With Minecraft’s massive global fanbase, the film hits theaters April 4 and is expected to be a box office hit.
