Los Angeles, March 22 Hollywood actress Kirsten Dunst has become the latest addition to the star cast of Warner Bros and Legendary's film "Minecraft Movie 2".
According to the entertainment news outlet Deadline, the actress had previously expressed her desire to be a part of the film, as her children enjoyed the first installment.
She will portray the role of Alex, one of the main playable avatars from the game.
