Does Alex Appear in A Minecraft Movie?

Steve may be Minecraft’s original default face, but Alex has become just as recognizable to many players. That is why fans asked whether Alex would appear in A Minecraft Movie before its release. Now that the film is out, there is a clear answer, with a spoiler attached.

Who Is Alex in Minecraft?

Alex is one of Minecraft’s nine default player skins and was the first default skin added after Steve. The character has pale skin, orange hair, green eyes, and a slim build.

Like Steve, Alex is officially genderless, leaving players free to decide who the character is in their own worlds. Some Mojang material, including the MINECON Earth 2017 Skin Pack, has depicted Alex as a woman, and many fans do the same.

Alex was created by Jens Bergensten, Chief Creative Officer at Mojang. His own appearance helped inspire the design, which explains some of the visual similarities.

Is Alex Actually in A Minecraft Movie?

Yes, Alex is in A Minecraft Movie, but the appearance is extremely brief. Anyone avoiding spoilers should stop here, because the answer depends on the after-credits scene.

Spoiler Warning

Alex appears for only a few seconds at the very end of the movie. The scene does not show Alex’s face clearly, and it does not give the character much development. Because of that, some fans believe the cameo may have been included to tease a possible sequel.

The scene shows Steve, played by Jack Black, returning to his old home on Earth. During his absence, the house has been purchased by someone else. Steve knocks on the door, and a woman with orange hair answers while wearing clothing that strongly resembles Alex’s default Minecraft skin.

The film ends as the two characters introduce themselves, with the woman confirming that her name is Alex.
