A popular streamer confirms she was cut from the Minecraft movie after comments she made about star Jason Momoa.
A Minecraft Movie has certainly divided the crowd since it was first announced.
The official trailer from Warnes Bros, which received over 1.3 million views, hyped up long-time fans of the best-selling video game.
Despite initial critics calling it the 'worst movie' of 2025, the blockbuster adaption of the 2011 video game smashed box office expectations. A Minecraft Movie grossed $162.75 million, marking the biggest opening weekend of the year.

But while, the film features many easter eggs and has viewers causing chaos in some cinemas, many fans thought the movie flopped. Now, behind the scenes, it’s stirred up controversy for one well-known streamer.

Rachell 'Valkyrae' Hofstetter, one of the most popular female streamers in the gaming world, recently confirmed that her cameo was cut from A Minecraft Movie. She confirmed that the decision came after she spoke out against Jason Momoa’s alleged on-set behaviour.
Back in September, during a podcast chat with YouTuber JasonTheWeen, she was asked about her 'worst celebrity or streamer encounter.' Without hesitation, Valkyrae replied: “I will say the name,” before name-dropping the Aquaman star. “I just saw him, like, mistreat some of the crew, and it was pretty disappointing,” she claimed. “It was after a very intense scene and a very emotional scene, so maybe he was still in character, I don’t know but I was just kind of surprised by how he treated like some of the crew.”
She explained: “He was just really mad at them that they weren’t doing something right. [...] Like really mad and like yelling. I was like ‘Man this is like not a good environment, like I would not be happy working under these conditions."
Following the movie's release, the content creator confirmed in a recent Twitch stream that her scene was cut.
"As much as you saw the other creators that were in it, it would have been the equal amounts that you saw me in it, which is like 30 seconds," she described. “I would much rather not have that 30 seconds than be sued, so it’s all good."
However, she remained positive, describing that she experienced an 'amazing' 10 days in New Zealand to film her scene: "I'm really glad I got to visit New Zealand," adding: "But I feel like things could've been so much worse." She was also quick to say it wasn’t Minecraft’s fault she was removed from the final cut, and she doesn’t hold anything against the production.
