This lighthearted joke at the expense of Ready Player One is a neat observation, and one that also cuts to the core of what makes films like The LEGO Movie and Ready Player One so enticing.
Whether Ready Player One is able to capture the level of excitement that the LEGO movies are able to provide is still up in the air.
Miller also took the time to reiterate the release date of The LEGO Movie 2, with the movie due to drop in February 2019.
At the very least, this will give viewers time to get their appetite back for another crossover movie after the release of Ready Player One.
