The Lego Movie Sequel is an upcoming 3D computer-animated space adventure musical comedy film[2] that will be a sequel to the 2014 film The Lego Movie. It will be the fourth film in the franchise, set to follow the releases of both of the first film's spin-off films, The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie, set to be released in 2017. It is being directed by Mike Mitchell,[1] with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, writers and directors of the first film, returning as producers and co-writers. After it became clear that the first film would become a blockbuster success, a sequel was already in the works even before its release. However, Warner Bros. did not invite Village Roadshow Pictures, the first film's Australian production partner, to participate in the making of the sequel. Currently, there has been no indication as to whether any cast members from the original film, such as Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Liam Neeson, and Morgan Freeman, will reprise their roles in the sequel.
The film is set to be released on February 8, 2019 in 2D, 3D, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D by Warner Bros. Pictures. Even before the critical acclaim and blockbuster success of The Lego Movie, plans for a sequel had already been set in motion. On February 3, 2014, Jared Stern was hired to write the sequel, along with Michelle Morgan.[3] On March 12, 2014, Deadline reported that animation co-director Chris McKay will direct the sequel with Lord and Miller as producers.[4] Warner Bros. did not invite co-producer Village Roadshow Pictures to return as a participant in the sequel.[5] On April 10, 2014, it was reported that McKay wanted to have more women in the sequel than men.[6] On July 28, 2014, it was reported that Chris Pratt wants to return to reprise his role as Emmet. It was also reported that Will Arnett might return to reprise his role as Batman, but has not decided yet.[7] However, he has reprised his role as Batman in The Lego Batman Movie. In October 2014, Warner Bros. scheduled The Lego Batman Movie for 2017, and The Lego Movie 2 for 2018.
[9] On October 25, 2014, it was reported that Lord and Miller had signed on to write The Lego Movie 2.[10] On October 30, it was announced that Australia-based animation studio Animal Logic was in talks to produce the next three Lego films (though the deal was not finalized at the time) and the New South Wales government would make financial contributions to all the films.[11] On November 12, during an interview with BBC News, Lord and Miller revealed that there would be more female characters featuring in the film. On February 24, 2015, the sequel was officially titled The Lego Movie Sequel and Rob Schrab was officially announced as the film's director, replacing McKay as director as he was scheduled to direct The Lego Batman Movie instead.[13] By February 2017, Schrab had been replaced by Mike Mitchell, reportedly due to "creative differences". The film is scheduled to be released on February 8, 2019.[14] It was originally scheduled to be released in May 2017,[15] but the release date was later assigned to The Lego Batman Movie, which was itself rescheduled for release on February 10, 2017.
At that time, the film was planned to release on May 18, 2018. ^ a b c d e fLEGO® Minifigures - The LEGO Movie SeriesWarning!FIND MORE PRODUCTS LIKE THISMinifiguresTHE LEGO® MOVIE™Collect every mystery minifigure in The LEGO Movie Series!LEGO® → System → Minifigures 71002 << 71004 >> 71005 The LEGO Movie Series $2.99 €2.49 £2.49 $4.99Additional prices: 71004 The LEGO Movie Series is a series of Minifigures released in January 2014.

Twenty Collectable Minifigures based on The LEGO Batman Movie will be available starting on January 1st, reports LEGO on Facebook. Let us know what you think of them in the comments below! Continue reading as I go more in-depth with each individual minifigure. Not much to say or analyze about this minifigure. It is pretty nice, but there are better batsuits in this series. I do not think it is based on anything specific from Batman lore, but it is of course based on a prehistoric aesthetic. The name is certainly an allusion to the film title The Clan of the Cave Bear (1986).
The Glam Metal suit Batman is wearing here appears in the San Diego Comic-Con trailer, where it is worn by Robin instead and shortened in name to simply 'Glam Bat'. The minifigure looks particularly nice on the whole, with a black electric guitar and recolored shoulders-pads previously seen with lava monster Moltor in Nexo Knights this year. Not to mention, the shiny silver bat symbol around the eyes of the cowl is rather striking! Ever since the first teaser trailer for The LEGO Batman Movie back in March, many have been wanting the chance to own Batman in his luxury bathrobe. Now that chance is here! This minifigure is definitely worth the wait although I am slightly disappointed that the robe itself is printed rather than cloth. I am sure that LEGO has a logical explanation for this design choice though. The lobster mold is equally fantastic and I am shocked that this is its first appearance as a one-piece animal. Crazily enough, lobsters as a species have only appeared a few times in LEGO before, in three very different themes: 7772 Lobster Strike, a Monthly Mini Model Build and 7985 City of Atlantis.
Vacation Batman looks to be an absolutely stellar minifigure, with the first ever rubber duck flotation device piece; Nightwing mask printing on it, no less! A unique cowl with molded-on goggles is also present here. It is unfortunate though that there is no printed bat-speedo on the legs, as shown in the following promotional image from social media. Instead we get a Hawaiian shirt, which also looks superb but still is unexpected. Woo hoo, more Batgirl variants! We only have one in DC Comics Super Heroes and another in this series' parent theme, so another is much welcome. However, and correct me if I am wrong - I do not believe this pink Batgirl look has appeared in canon before now. If anything, it is reminiscent of the common Batgirl Halloween costumes you see little girls wear each year. That fact alone makes me believe that this minifigure could prove popular with the younger, female crowd. But perhaps this is an early, prototype version of the Batgirl suit for Barbara?
I assume we'll see when the film releases. Collectors will want it for the pink batarang, Barbara Gordon hair and skirt pieces too, I am sure! Dick Grayson is Robin's alter-ego in The LEGO Batman Movie and other works, although this Robin's design harkens back more to the Carrie Kelley version. LEGO Batman Movie Robin in his civilian clothing is much more akin to traditional Grayson (see actor Burt Ward's portrayal in 76052 Batman Classic TV Series - Batcave) and has made a few appearances in trailers for the film. It is highly likely that we only see this variant in Batcave/Wayne Manor scenes (which seem to serve minor roles as a whole), if its inclusion solely in the CMF series is any indication - who knows, though! It should also be noted that Dick Grayson will be included in formal attire with 70908 The Scuttler. Dick is equipped with shark repellent which is a direct reference to the 1966 Batman film. Will we see this bat-gadget make an appearance in the film, or is it just a fun Easter egg accessory to complement the minifigure?
