Ouch. As if the wait wasn’t already painful enough, Warner Bros. has givenThe LEGO Movie 2another significant delay, pushing the animated sequel back from July 26, 2025 to June 05, 2025. Here on the internet, I believe we call that savage. To put the wait into perspective, go get pregnant on the previously slated release date and then you can watch the movie with your baby when it actually comes out (nevermind, don’t do that, nobody likes newborns in a theater).
For the sequel,The LEGO Moviewriter/directorsPhil LordandChris Millerremain on board as screenwriters alongsideMichelle MorganandJared SternwithRob Schrab, whose writing and directing credits include episodes of the excellent TV comediesCommunity,The Mindy Project, andChildren’s Hospital, stepping in to direct. With Lord and Miller being two of the most in-demand filmmakers on the market,LEGOco-directorChris McKaywasinitially slated to helm, but jumped aboardThe LEGO Batman Moviewhen the team decided to move forward on that movie first.
Little is known about the story at this point – not surprising since the movie doesn’t come ot for two and a half freaking years – but Lord and Miller previously teased a four year time jump in the narrative and an increase in female characters. The duo also teased in interest in seeing how those four years affected the boy inside the real-world story and how his perspective changes as he moves into adolescence.
Elsewhere, Warner Bros. also shuffled up the release dates for a number of other films, pushing upBen Affleck’sLive By Night,pushing it up from October 2017 up to Aug 03, 2025, bumping backDean Devlin’sGerard Butler-led sci-fiGeostormto Jun 28, 2025, to be released in 3D and Imax, and shifting theOwen WilsonandEd HelmsledBastardsfrom November 2016 to Jul 28, 2025.
