Lego Movie 2 Delayed, Here's When It's Coming Out

The Lego Movie surprised a lot of people--far from being a cynical cash-in, it was one of the most successful and highly acclaimed movies of 2014. The sequel is much anticipated, but it has now been announced that its released has moved back nine months.

The Lego Movie 2 was originally set for a May 2018 release, but as reported by THR, the film will now debut on February 8, 2019. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who directed the first film, are producing, with Rob Schrab directing. Lord and Miller are currently in pre-production on the Star Wars spinoff focusing on the young Han Solo.

However, fans won't have to wait until 2019 for their next dose of big screen Lego action. The Lego Batman Movie is due to hit theaters on February 10, 2017, with Will Arnett set to reprise his role from The Lego Movie. Check out the first trailers here and here.

In addition, the successful Ninjago range is to receive a film too, following six seasons of the popular TV series. The Lego Ninjago Movie is currently scheduled for a February 8, 2017 release.
