Chris McKay is coming off of a very successful feature film debut for his work directing The LEGO Batman Movie, so he’s pretty plugged into the going’s on of the LEGO-verse.
Frankly, it’s because the sequel is literally aiming for the stars as a space-action musical.
The director recently appeared as a guest on the Shanlian on Batman podcast to talk about all things Batman (and Nightwing), but he also took the time to explain why The LEGO Movie Sequel is taking so long to write.
The team behind the film not only need time to nail down the script, but to write the songs as well, which does not happen quickly.
