Lord and Miller turned in the script for the sequel last November though, so it’s more likely the film just needs more time in development while all the kinks are worked out for The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie.
The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie are currently scheduled for next year, and they were to be followed by the long-awaited The Lego Movie 2 in 2018 – yet that last part has changed.
The LEGO Batman Movie opens in U.S. theaters on February 10th, 2017, followed by Ninjago on September 22nd, 2017, The LEGO Movie Sequel on February 8th, 2019 and Billion Brick Race on May 24th, 2019.
Deadline is reporting that The Lego Movie 2 is moving yet again to February 8th, 2019.
