Remember the time when blockbuster films didn’t really begin until late spring? Well, as 2018 comes to a close with some of the biggest films debuting during the Christmas holiday, we have only one short month before the blockbuster season begins in 2019, kicking off with “The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part.”

In the new trailer for ‘LEGO Movie 2,’ we get to see more of the film’s main plot, which revolves about Emmet (Chris Pratt) having to venture out into space to save his friend Lucy (Elizabeth Banks) from an evil alien queen (played by Tiffany Haddish because she’s in every film). Along the way, he meets Rex Dangervest, who is clearly an amalgamation of Chris Pratt’s most famous roles (“Guardians of the Galaxy” & “Jurassic World”) mixed with a healthy dose of ‘80s Kurt Russell.
Joining Pratt, Banks, and Haddish are the ‘LEGO’ alums Alison Brie, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, and Nick Offerman.
“The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part” lands in theaters on February 8, 2019.
Here’s the synopsis:
The much-anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed, global box office phenomenon that started it all, “The LEGO® Movie 2: The Second Part,” reunites the heroes of Bricksburg in an all new action-packed adventure to save their beloved city. It’s been five years since everything was awesome and the citizens are now facing a huge new threat: LEGO DUPLO® invaders from outer space, wrecking everything faster than it can be rebuilt. The battle to defeat the invaders and restore harmony to the LEGO universe will take Emmet (Chris Pratt), Lucy (Elizabeth Banks), Batman (Will Arnett) and their friends to faraway, unexplored worlds, including a strange galaxy where everything is a musical. It will test their courage, creativity and Master Building skills, and reveal just how special they really are.
