Jack Black is seemingly going to be two for two when it comes to singing in video game movies, as the Kung-Fu Panda actor will apparently put his vocal talents on display in the Minecraft movie.
While Black is obviously known for his musical proclivities in the form of his band Tenacious D, for the most part in his films he doesn’t really sing all that much. He did, of course, sing in last year’s Super Mario Bros. Movie, performing the incredible Peaches as the film’s big bad Bowser. And now, as reported by Variety, it seems that he’ll be singing for a video game movie again, as the actor confirmed that he will do so in the upcoming Minecraft movie. Black didn’t have much to say about how said signing will take shape, though he did share that he’ll be doing so alongside his co-star Danielle Brooks.
“I love Danielle Brooks. I’ve been a fan of hers ever since I first saw her on ‘Orange Is the New Black’ and she’s just been killing it in her career,” Black said of the actress. “And the fact that we’re working together on ‘Minecraft’ is mind blowing. And we’ve been having a ball in New Zealand, and I’m so proud of her going to the Oscars…I always tell her, ‘You’re the class of the cast’ and she’s crushing it and can’t wait for you to see the movie.”
