Sheep
Showing up just after the main cast first appears on screen, a pink Sheep can be seen at the trailer’s 00:21 mark. The trailer begins with Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen having been somehow transported to the world of Minecraft. As they look around in wonder, a Sheep loudly interrupts them.
Ghast
Ghasts have always been somewhat spooky, and it seems like A Minecraft Movie will dial things up a bit. The creatures can be seen transporting a bunch of Piglin into battle at the 00:25 mark in today’s teaser. And that brings us to…
Piglin
…Piglins! Mobs of Piglins can be seen at multiple points in today’s teaser, first showing up with the Ghasts at the 00:25 mark, and then reappearing throughout. At all points, they seem pretty antagonistic to the human cast, and can be seen wielding various weapons, including swords and spears. If you look closely, you might notice that the weapons bear a striking resemblance to the way they appear in the game.
Wolf
A wolf can be seen howling at the moon at 00:28. The image does a nice job showcasing how the movie’s world is mimicking the game, as the moon is more boxy than spherical. The wolf’s head and body also bring in these design elements.
Creeper
Creepers are one of the most iconic enemies in Minecraft, and it would be impossible to imagine a film adaptation without them. Surprisingly, they only get a brief “blink and you’ll miss it” appearance in the film’s first teaser. At 00:37, a Creeper can be seen creeping up behind Jason Momoa’s character, Garrett Garrison.
Llama
The last creature to appear in the first teaser trailer for A Minecraft Movie is a Llama. The Llama can be seen at 1:02, grazing peacefully as a Piglin’s arrow lands to its left. A Piglin horde then goes running by, but the Llama is (thankfully) left unscathed.
