Warner Bros. isn’t wasting any time getting things rolling on a sequel to The Lego Movie, which, as of this post, has grossed over $362 million worldwide on a $60 million budget. The Lego Movie 2 has already been set for a May 26, 2017 release and now we learn co-animator and voice of Larry The Barrista in the first film, Chris McKay will direct.
Jared Stern (Wreck-It Ralph) and Michelle Morgan are writing the script while co-writers and directors of the original film, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, will serve as producers.
There are no plot details as of yet, but I expect the likes of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Ferrell, Will Arnett, Alison Brie and others that provided voices for the first film to return. [Deadline]
