Lego Movie sequel confirmed for 2017

Warner Bros' follow-up to this year's animated box-office smash will hit cinemas on 26 May 2017

Studio Warner Bros has confirmed that a sequel to the year's most startling critical and box-office smash, The Lego Movie, will find its way to cinemas in 2017.

The $60m (£36m) animated adventure from writer-directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller has racked up $275m worldwide in under three weeks on release. It has a hugely impressive 96% "fresh" rating on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, indicating almost universal acclaim.

Little is known about the planned sequel other than a release date: 26 May 2017. There is no word as to whether Lord and Christopher will return for the second film, nor whether voice talent such as Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill have signed up for another outing.

The Hollywood Reporter said last week that a Lego Ninjago movie, based on the Danish company's popular Japanese-themed line, could be first into cinemas. Latest reports do not confirm whether the sequel will be a straight follow-up, or a Ninjago spin-off.
