Jack Black surprised A Minecraft Movie fans before issuing them with a warning to not cause chaos during the movie. 

Black plays Steve in director Jarred Hess’s A Minecraft Movie. He’s someone who’s obsessed with mines who gets transported to a colorful video-game world. 

However, one of the movie’s key Steve scenes involves a ‘Chicken Jockey’ – a reference to a rare occurrence in the Minecraft video-game series where a zombie rides a chicken.

Black then reveals himself to the crowd who then erupt into cheers, with many whipping out their smartphones to capture the moment. 

“I am Steve,” continues black, showing off his Minecraft pick axe. “Are you ready to rock? Please enjoy A Minecraft Movie,” he yells, before doing a quick lap of the cinema and high-fiving a few lucky fans.

How did fans react online?

Many fans on social media reacted to Black’s appearance by commending his apparent love for a tidy and respectful cinema experience.

“Jack having to parent a whole theater,” quipped one user.

Another added: “Jack Black values cleanliness and humor.”

A third added, “Jack Black, you are a natural treasure.”

Although, one user pointed out a potential flaw in Black’s plan

“Well, he just inadvertently done exactly the opposite of what he was meant to do–get them to chill out. Now they’re probably going to be more hyped than ever.”
