However, the studio’s film slate also includes a number of titles that have the potential to give rise to new franchises (either standalone or spun-off from older properties); including, the LEGO Movie spinoff The LEGO Batman Movie, the King Kong reboot Kong: Skull Island, and the King Arthur re-telling King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
The LEGO Batman Movie opens in U.S. theaters on February 10th, 2017, followed by Ninjago on September 22nd, 2017 and The LEGO Movie Sequel on February 8th, 2019.
LEGO Batman Movie is written by Seth Grahame-Smith, though the film character roster also includes Robin (Michael Cera), Batgirl (Rosario Dawson), and The Joker (Zach Galifianakis) among others.
Skull Island promises to feature the biggest onscreen vision of King Kong to date and you can get a glimpse of the King himself, in the poster below.
