New "Lego Movie 2" plot, cast and relese date updates claim that the sequel will be set 4 years after the first movie.
Previous reports suggested that the second movie could actually be a prequel after speculations abound last year claiming "Lego Movie 2" has already been considered way before the first film came out.
According to Cinema Blend, "This sequel, Lego Movie 2 was planned even before the first film was released, so sure was Warner Bros. of its success. As it turns out, they were right. The original Lego Movie was a massive critical and financial success, making The Lego Movie 2 an easy commitment."
But as sequel writers and "Lego Movie" directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller shared some fresh plot details in a recent interview with Empire, it was revealed that the events happening in "Lego Movie 2" take place years after the first movie.
"Well I don't want to give you spoilers but we were really interested in what happens to that boy who's in the meta story in the first movie when he's four years older", said Miller. "When he's an adolescent how does that change his point of view?
The directors also hinted on a few possible conlficts some major characters will be experiencing in the sequel.
"It's nice to have the characters start in a different place from the first movie. Emmet, for example, was in an existential crisis of having seen another dimension and was questioning the whole point of his existence," Miller added.
"Lego Movie 2" plot, cast and release date reports confirmed that "Lego Batman Movie" will take the original 2017 launch of " Lego Movie 2." Another Lego movie called "Ninjago" on the other hand, is slated for an October 14, 2016 release.
In addition to the Lego movies in the works, Warner Bros. is definitely working on more Lego video games. After "Lego Batman," "Lego Star Wars" and "Lego Hobbit" made than more than $2B, the company thought it would be a good decision to keep doing more of these video games in the future.
