In a surprising turn of events, the highly-anticipated appearance of Twitch streamer Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter in “A Minecraft Movie” didn’t materialize when it was released on April 4, 2025, leading to much discussion about why she was left out. Now, she has spoken up regarding her omission from the film.
In the world of cinema, a film adaptation of Minecraft boasts an all-star lineup with Jason Momoa and Jack Black among its leading actors. Remarkably, this production has proven to be a financial success, even with a wide array of both positive and negative critical appraisals.
To be frank, the absence of Valkyrae in recent events has sparked some intrigue, particularly considering her past comments regarding behind-the-scenes happenings.
During a 2024 interview with Jasontheween, Valkyrae shared a story from the movie’s set where she claimed that Jason Momoa had been unfair to the film crew.
She stated: “I just saw him, like, mistreat some of the crew, and it was pretty disappointing.”
She explained that the incident happened following a highly emotional sequence, implying that it’s possible Momoa may not have fully shaken off his character yet. However, she conveyed unease about the surroundings, pointing out her dissatisfaction with certain aspects of it.
I found the atmosphere here quite unsuitable. Frankly, it wouldn’t bring me much joy to work under these circumstances.
Valkyrae speaks out about Minecraft Movie cameo
In her live stream on the 6th of April, Valkyrae revealed that her appearance had been removed, suggesting potential legal issues, as she expressed a desire to avoid any potential lawsuits.
Regarding the Minecraft Movie, she didn’t want to discuss it extensively, but if you recall, the other creators had roughly equal screen time as her, which was about 30 seconds. She’d prefer to not have those 30 seconds at all rather than potentially face legal action.
In one particular shot, even though she was not the main focus, keen-eyed viewers on Reddit successfully pointed out that Valkyrae could be seen in the backdrop.

After the movie’s premiere and Valkyrae not appearing in the final edit, many assumed that her remarks concerning Momoa were probably why she was excluded from the final version.
In truth, it appears she may have been responsible for negatively impacting the movie’s reputation. Moreover, her statement about being in the film prior to the unveiling of the five cameos might have violated a confidentiality agreement.
People supported her stance, implying that her insights held merit and that she was simply relaying her own experiences.
As I write this, neither Valkyrae nor the team behind the film has made any public statements explaining why she’s not in the movie yet.
Although Valkryae wasn’t selected for the film role, well-known YouTube personalities like DanTDM, Mambo Jumbo, and LDShadowLady were chosen instead.
