Also starring Jennifer Coolidge, the film went on to earn over USD 1 billion at the worldwide box office and was based on the world-renowned sandbox video game franchise Minecraft by Mojang Studios.
It revolved around four misfits, Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison, Henry, Natalie, and Dawn, who are pulled through a portal into the blocky, cubic wonderland of the Overworld. They team up with an expert crafter named Steve (Jack Black) to survive, fight monsters, and return.
Dunst's latest work is "Roofman", which released in 2025. The film was directed by Derek Cianfrance and also starred Channing Tatum alongside the actor.
