The comedy star might be joining the cast of Warner Bros. video game adaption
Steve Carell is likely to be the first star to be cast in a forthcoming movie based on the hit video game Minecraft.
According to Variety, Warner Bros. are in talks with the comedian to play a role in their big screen adaption of the popular game. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-creator Rob McElhenney is already on board to direct and has co-written the script together with Wonder Woman scriptwriter Jason Fuchs.
Minecraft, released in 2009 by Swedish developer Mojang, is a sandbox game that allows players to explore, as well as create, virtual 3D worlds made from Lego-like cubes. Over a million copies of the game have been sold this year, making it the bestselling PC game to date.
Warner Bros. acquired the movie rights from Mojang in February; the film is set for release in May 25, 2019.
