Hollywood actor Zachary Quinto, best known for his roles in Star Trek and Heroes, has officially filed a lawsuit against the creators of Minecraft Movie, claiming the film’s villagers are a “blatant and offensive caricature” of his face.

🔍 “I can’t ignore the fact that they took MY FACE, ran it through a low-res filter, and slapped it into their film!” Quinto argued in his legal complaint.
📉 Social media wasted no time roasting the uncanny resemblance. One Twitter user posted a screenshot of the villagers with the caption: “God has abandoned us.” Another joked: “Now I understand why they’re called NPCs – they’re just Zachary Quinto but with zero emotions.”
The actor is particularly upset that, despite the blocky nature of the villagers, his signature thick eyebrows, eternally serious expression, and general air of ‘I know something you don’t’ remain intact.
🎥 Meanwhile, the film itself continues to generate hype. According to the official plot summary, Minecraft Movie follows four misfits who stumble into the cubic world of Minecraft through a mysterious portal. To escape, they must survive against zombies, battle piglins, and embark on a magical adventure with seasoned crafter Steve (played by Jack Black).
🔥 Studio executives have responded to the controversy, stating, “Anyone who sees Zachary Quinto in our villagers clearly has an overactive imagination.” However, Quinto remains firm in his stance, demanding either a redesign of the villagers or financial compensation for his emotional distress.
👀 So now the real question is: Will the villagers’ design change before release? Or will Minecraft Movie go down in history as the first film to get sued over blocky NPCs?
Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.
Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
