Matt Berry’s role in A Minecraft Movie, explained

A Minecraft Movie includes two post-credits scenes. The first provides closure to a subplot, while the second hints at a possible sequel.

According to a report by Screen Rant, the mid-credits scene reveals that Matt Berry plays a villager. His character serves as the love interest of Jennifer Coolidge’s character, Vice Principal Marlene.

He is introduced when he escapes the Overworld through a portal and enters the real world. His first human encounter happens with Marlene, who accidentally runs him over. However, she quickly apologizes, and the two go out for dinner. Their unofficial date sparks a romance that continues throughout the film.

In the mid-credits scene, Marlene and the villager reunite in her office and confess their feelings for each other. At that moment, Marlene’s ex-husband enters and questions why she replaced him with the villager. Before she can respond, the villager unexpectedly speaks in English, shocking the audience, as villagers typically only communicate in grunts.

The villager’s voice reveals that the actor behind it is none other than Berry. He is best known for his role in What We Do in the Shadows. The scene then concludes with Berry’s villager and Coolidge’s Marlene getting engaged, solidifying their relationship.
