The LEGO Movie 2 could be a space musical!

Work is nearly underway on The LEGO Movie 2 (aka The LEGO Movie sequel) with Trolls helmer Mike Mitchell taking the directing reigns. The LEGO Batman Movies Chris Mackay, who was the animation supervisor and co-director on the first movie, was a recently a guest on the Shanlian On Batman podcast where he spoke about the behind-the-scenes development of the sequel. It sounds like we’re in for something quite different to the original…

“LEGO 2 is going to be this big musical and space action movie. They need a lot of the writing, a lot of development, not only with script development, but development with songwriters. So it was very ambitious to get that movie out.”

The first movie was obviously full of music, and featured an Oscar-nominated theme song “Everything is Awesome,” but it sounds like there will be lots more in the next movie.

The LEGO Batman Movie is playing to packed houses around the world, and has so far collected an impressive $226 million around the world. The LEGO Movie took over $460 million around worldwide back in 2014.

We’ll bring you more on the sequel as it comes our way.
