After the success of the first movie, "The Lego Movie 2" is expected to give audiences the same punch and fun.

Apart from a sequel, Warner Bros has recently announced three more Lego movies happening soon. One of which is a spin-off entitled "Ninjago" which is slated for a September 23, 2016 release.

It was a given fact that 2014's "The Lego Movie" will have a sequel out by 2017. The new film is said to premiere on May 26, 2017.

According to "The Lego Movie 2" news from Movie Pilot, "Now, though, Warner Bros. have confirmed that there will be an additional two movies, set for Memorial Day 2018 and 2019."

"Which means double the on-screen Lego we were expecting."

Fans are already speculating that the 2018 Memorial Day flick will be the 3rd instalment in "The Lego Movie" franchise.

While the date is 3 years away, news of potential cast members are already sparking fans' interest. As Yahoo reported, "The Lego Movie had a supporting cast of DC superheroes like Batman and Wonder Woman, but for the sequel, [creators] Miller and Lord would love to get Marvel heroes on board."

'Miller acknowledge in a Comingsoon.net interview that Marvel might be a tough sell, since 'they don't need Lego to make their movies successful.' But Lord remains optimistic that the creators of X-Men, Spider-Man and The Avengers will loan out their characters. 'Hopefully it will be like another Roger Rabbit-situation where, 'Of course, we'd love to be a part of this,' he says, 'But who knows?'"

"The Lego Movie" was a hit among moviegoers when it debuted on the big screen earlier this year. Here's the official description of the movie according to Warner Bros:

"'The LEGO (R) Movie' is the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO (R) adventure. The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet (Chris Pratt) an ordinary, rules- following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared."
