The LEGO Movie 2 : The Second Partwas among the films that debuted Modern footage during Warner Bros. ' Hall H panel at the ongoing 2018 Comic - Con International in San Diego .   WB ’s LEGO cinematic franchise has a history with the annual SDCC ; firstThe LEGO Batman Moviedebuted footage there back in 2016 , thenThe LEGO Ninjago Moviepremiered   a trailer of its own during last yr ’s Comic - Con festivities . As such , it ’s only fitting that the studio would use this year ’s convention to boost the first lineal sequel to its   original hitLEGO Movie .

LEGO Moviewriting / direct duo Phil Lord and Chris Millerdidn’t call the shots onThe Second Part , but they were involved creatively with the approaching subsequence . The movie pick up in genuine - time after its 2014 predecessor and rule the city of   Bricksburg ( which looks in spades like aMad Max - dash waste these Clarence Shepard Day Jr. ) under attack by a Modern enemy : the LEGO   DUPLO ® invader . Chris Pratt and Elizabeth Banks reprize their vocalisation use as Emmet and Wyldstyle in theLEGO Moviesequel , along with several other bring back cast member and new additions like Tiffany Haddish andBrooklyn Nine - Nine ’s Stephanie Beatriz .

Lord and Miller , who were present at the Hall H panel along with several members ofThe LEGO Movie 2cast ( Pratt and Banks include ) , further confirmed that the sequel takes place five age after the firstLEGO Movie . They also   touched on how the new character are a compounding of LEGO toys owned by the young son in the first movie and his sister . As such , The Second Partwill build on the ending to the original LEGO installment , which concluded with Bricksburg being " attacked " by the latter ’s match - and - meld LEGO creations .

By and large , it sounds as thoughThe Second Partwill be very much on - brand for theLEGOmovie series , based on the antecedently - releasedtrailer forThe LEGO Movie 2and the footage evidence at SDCC . Whether or not the sequel will have the same depth as its predecessor , avowedly , is a matter that remain to be find . If nothing else , the gag character involving Pratt ’s blockbuster motion picture roles and leading man status should definitely be deserving a secure chortle .
