Minecraft may have begun with Steve, but many fans have come to love Alex just as much. As a result, many were asking, “Is Alex in A Minecraft Movie?” before the film’s official release. Now that it is out, we’re here to offer a slight spoiler for those who just need to find out.

Who is Alex?

Alex is one of Minecraft’s nine default player skins and the first to be introduced after Steve. They have pale skin, orange hair, green eyes, and a slim build. While officially genderless like Steve, fans and some Mojang content, such as the MINECON Earth 2017 Skin Pack, tend to depict Alex as a woman. However, it is ultimately left for players to decide their own stories. Alex was created by Jens Bergensten, Chief Creative Officer at Mojang, who used his own appearance as inspiration, which is why they look a bit similar.

Is Alex in A Minecraft Movie?

To answer this question, we will be required to get into some spoilers. Please proceed with caution! Spoiler Warning Alex is indeed in a Minecraft Movie, but they are only present for a few seconds in the after-credits scene at the very end. We do not get to see Alex’s face, nor do we get to know the character. Some speculate this was done purposefully to tease a potential sequel. To get into even deeper spoilers, the exact context of the scene is Steve, played by Jack Black, returns to his old home on Earth only to find it has been purchased by someone else during his absence. Upon knocking on the door, it is opened by a woman with orange hair who is wearing attire very similar to Alex’s skin. The film ends with the two characters introducing themselves and the woman confirming her name is Alex.
