Latest update: The LEGO Movie Sequel delayed. The LEGO Movie was an unexpected smash hit. It raked in over $450 million worldwide from a production budget of just $60 million, nabbed an Oscar nomination for Best Song (although the Academy did somehow neglect to give it the nod in the Animation category) and inspired enough enthusiasm from Warner Bros. that the studio promptly green-lit four more LEGO-themed cinematic releases. Here’s when you can expect those four LEGO movies in the UK… You don’t need us to tell you that Will Arnett’s Batman was the standout character from The LEGO Movie. From his catchy song lyrics like “Darkness! No parents!” to his undeniable skills with a Batarang, this Batman Minifig was far more than the hero we deserved. Arnett will lend his voice to the character once more in this spin-off movie. He’ll be joined by a stellar supporting cast consisting of Ralph Fiennes as Alfred, Rosario Dawson as Batgirl, Zach Galifianakis as The Joker and Michael Cera as Robin.
Mariah Carey will also appear, as the Mayor of Gotham. This one’s not too far off, so hopefully we’ll have a trailer to share with you soon. Robot Chicken regular Chris McKay is directing from a script by Dark Shadows and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter scribe Seth Grahame-Smith.

When we get the exact UK date, we’ll be sure to update this article. If you’re unfamiliar, Ninjago is a line of Ninja-themed products that LEGO has been producing since 2011. Martial artist Minifigs are pitted against dragons, ghosts and an array of other evil opponents (including evil ninjas, of course). So far, the cast hasn’t been announced for the Ninjago movie, but we know that Charlie Bean – who’s directed the Tron: Uprising animated series and worked in the art department on several animated giants – is set to call the shots.

It was meant to be a four year gap, but this brick-based sequel recently got pushed back. Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s schedules are too jam packed with Star Wars, superheroes and TV projects to allow them to direct The LEGO Movie Sequel (that job will go to Rob Schrab, who has previously helmed episodes of Community and The Mindy Project), but they are writing the script. We’d expect Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett and many more voices from the first LEGO Movie to return, potentially to be joined by some scary Duplo toys from Finn’s sister’s collection. The UK date isn’t announced yet, but this one will land in US cinemas on 8th February 2019. Further reading: Doctor Who may feature in The LEGO Movie 2
And finally, the latest addition to Warner Bros.’ cinematic LEGO slate is The Billion Brick Race. We don’t know the plot of this one, but we do know that it’s intended for a 24th May 2019 release (we’ll add the UK date when it’s announced). That date could change, though, now that The LEGO Movie Sequel has been pushed back. Jason Segel (who proved his possibly-relevant puppeteering skills during Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and has voiced an animated character before in Despicable Me) and Drew Pearce (who did great writing work on Iron Man 3, and directed the tie-in short All Hail The King) are attached to co-direct and write The Billion Brick Race. Will it be a race in a driving sense, or a race to build something? We don’t know, but we have heard that the pitch from Pearce was apparently enough to ‘excite’ Warner Bros.

We’ll update this article as further information about these films – and any other LEGO-themed movies that Warner Bros. put into production – comes to light.

I have ordered some of the Lego movie minifigures of late and was so very pleasantly surprised that they were delivered intact inside a "blind bag" which my grandson loves... Look for similar items by category Toys & Games > Action & Toy Figures > Figures Toys & Games > Building Toys > Building SetsBlind bag toys have been a huge market these past few years, and perhaps no brand knows this better than Lego. Since launching the blind bag minifigures back in 2010, Lego has had tremendous success with the collection, which has had 16 proper waves alongside special edition series like Disney and The Simpsons. Early next year, another special series will see Lego celebrate the launch of The Lego Batman Movie, and you might be surprised to see who’s being packed inside.
Already we’ve seen that The Lego Batman Movie is taking some liberties with the Batman canon, and will feature Barbara Gordon as a police officer alongside her father. While she’ll also appear as Batgirl in the film — at least based on the announced sets anyway — the minifigures will feature her in full dress blues with a little Bat-signal flashlight. That pales in comparison however to the absurd number of Bat-suits we’re apparently going to see in the film. The building sets so far have shown a variety of Batman costumes, but Heavy Metal Batman, Pool Party Batman and Lobster Thermidor Batman (our names, not Lego’s) are perhaps the most specific Bat-suits you’re likely to see outside of the classic Kenner waves from the ’90s. The fun doesn’t stop there though, as this series of minifigures will bring with it some oft-overlooked villains from Batman’s rogues’ gallery including March Harriet, the Mime, the Eraser and King Tut. Just how much of a role these characters will play in The Lego Batman Movie remains to be seen, but that they’re included as official figures at all bodes well for at least a cameo appearance in the upcoming animated movie.
