Valkyrae confirms Minecraft movie cameo was cut after claims about Jason Momoa and on-set mistreatment
Prior to the movie's release, Valkyrae revealed she had filmed a short cameo. She also alleged that she witnessed Momoa 'mistreat' crew members, describing the atmosphere on set as 'not a good work environment' and stating she would not feel comfortable continuing to work under those conditions.
With the film now released and her appearance missing, she commented during her stream, 'As much as you guys saw the other creators that were in it, would have been the equal amount you saw me in it — which is 30 seconds.' She added, 'So it's okay. I would much rather not have 30 seconds than be sued.'
While Valkyrae didn't confirm the exact reason her cameo was removed, many fans believe it may be linked to her earlier remarks about Momoa. Others speculate it could have been a standard editing decision, unrelated to the controversy. One fan even claimed to have spotted her briefly in a background shot, suggesting her appearance wasn't fully edited out.
Despite early criticism and negative press, A Minecraft Movie has had a strong debut, posting one of the most successful opening days for a video game adaptation. Warner Bros. and Jason Momoa have yet to publicly address Valkyrae's comments or the removal of her scene.

Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke join Dune 3 as Paul Atreides' twin children
Newcomer Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Silo actress Ida Brooke have officially joined the cast of Dune 3, Deadline has confirmed. The two young stars are set to play Leto II and Ghanima Atreides, the twin children of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya), expanding the next chapter of Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic based on Frank Herbert's acclaimed novels. This marks the big-screen debut of Nakoa-Wolf, son of actor Jason Momoa, who is also expected to return in Dune 3 as a resurrected version (ghola) of Duncan Idaho. Brooke, who has appeared in Apple TV+'s Silo and The Primrose Railway Children, is a rising talent making her franchise debut. Dune 3, from Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, is expected to adapt Herbert's novel Dune Messiah, set 12 years after Dune. It follows Emperor Paul Atreides as he grapples with the consequences of his Fremen-led holy war. A formal cast announcement is still pending, though Chalamet and Zendaya are expected to return, and Robert Pattinson was previously reported to be in talks for a villain role. The Dune film series has been a massive success, earning over $1.1 billion globally and securing eight Oscars across two films. With Dune: Prophecy, the prequel Max series, already renewed for a second season, the Dune universe continues to expand on both big and small screens. No release date or official title for Dune 3 has been announced.
