With the release of the first trailer for A Minecraft Movie, fans have noticed some key deviations from the beloved video game.

The teaser has already shown glimpses of familiar faces like Piglins, Ghasts, Creepers, and Sheep, but with Minecraft's extensive roster of unique creatures, there's plenty more to choose from. While it may not be feasible to feature every single mob in the movie given the sheer volume of what's in the game, there are a handful of fan favorites that absolutely need to be included. Seeing these mobs in live-action would be a treat for all Minecraft fans.

6 Enderman

A Scary, Yet Beloved Mob

Every Minecraft player remembers their first encounter with the Enderman. That eerie moment of spotting a tall, dark figure, unsure if it's friend or foe, followed by the panic of accidentally locking eyes with it. It's a memorable experience that cements this mob as one of the most iconic and unsettling ones in the game.

Due to its immense popularity alone, the Enderman deserves a place in A Minecraft Movie. Furthermore, its ability to instill fear would also add a nice layer of horror to the film, and its simplistic design would likely translate well into live-action, making it a perfect addition to the movie.

5 Villagers

The Most Helpful Mobs In Minecraft

Villagers are the unspoken MVPs of Minecraft. They play an irreplaceable role in the game by offering valuable loot in exchange for Emeralds, making the players' lives a whole lot easier. Without these guys, progressing through the game would be significantly more challenging. This makes them arguably the most important mobs in the game.

Minecraft Tamed
Minecraft: The Best Animals To Tame (& How To Tame Them)

Between all the mining and crafting, Minecraft leaves a lot of time & space for players to explore the world and tame their own animal companions.

Given their integral role in the game, combined with their legendary status in Minecraft's history, Villagers are a must-have in the movie. That said, adapting their iconic appearance and infamous "hmmm..." voice lines to live-action might pose a challenge, but their importance and charm are too significant to leave out of the film.

4 The Warden

The Personification Of Terror

From Endermen to Creepers, Minecraft has no shortage of terrifying mobs. However, none strike fear in the hearts of players as badly as the Warden. Despite being a relatively new addition to the game, this ultra-powerful, blind monster has quickly earned its place as a fan favorite thanks to its intimidating design and intense gameplay mechanics.

Including the Warden in A Minecraft Movie would be a huge win for fans. Not only would it serve as a menacing antagonist, adding suspense and tension to the story, but its awesome design would also make it a visual treat for monster enthusiasts — assuming its design is faithfully brought to life in live-action.

3 Iron Golem

The Overlooked But Irreplaceable Guardians

The Iron Golem has served as the guardian angel of Villagers for as long as they've been in the game. These towering, silent creatures are the definition of gentle giants, but can quickly turn into killing machines if they or their friends are threatened. Getting chased by one of them after accidentally hitting a villager is surely a core memory for many Minecraft players.

For a mob that devotes its entire life to protecting others, it really doesn't get the respect it deserves. Including Iron Golems in the movie would be a great way to give this iconic mob its moment in the spotlight. Moreover, they'd also fit seamlessly into the story by serving as guardians for the protagonists in this unfamiliar, blocky world.

2 Wither

The Epitome Of Nightmare Fuel

If Minecraft mobs were ranked based purely on destructiveness, the Wither would leave all its peers in the dust. As a three-headed, floating nightmare that players must summon themselves, this mob has been the cause of many intense battles and destroyed Minecraft worlds. Its incredibly high damage coupled with its destructive capabilities make it one of the game's most challenging bosses — one that players still dread facing to this day.

The Wither's ominous appearance and lust for destruction would make it an unforgettable antagonist in the movie, paving the way for some thrilling action sequences while also appealing to long-time fans who know just how terrifying this mob can be.

1 The Ender Dragon

Minecraft's Legendary Final Boss

When it comes to the most legendary final bosses in video games, the Ender Dragon is easily a top contender. Despite being added over a decade ago, it remains Minecraft's ultimate boss. Of the countless number of things players can do in this game, slaying the Ender Dragon is still arguably the most satisfying of them all.

Including her in A Minecraft Movie is a no-brainer. Having the main characters fight the Ender Dragon before making their grand escape through the End Portal would be the perfect culmination for the movie. Furthermore, it would also pay homage to the game's actual lore, evoking nostalgia for fans who remember their first battle with this terrifying beast.
