It’s been a while since we’ve talked about The LEGO Movie Sequel but Collider has some new details on what the story will be. As we know by now, the end of the first movie involves Finn’s sister playing with DUPLO bricks and they announced their plans to destroy them. In an interview with Dan Lin, he stated:
We’re picking up where the first movie left us, where the Duplo have now come and they’re attacking Bricksburg. It’s several years later, and you’re going to see the result of that.
Another part of The LEGO Movie Sequel could tackle on gender differences, more specifically how a boy plays with LEGO is different from how a girl plays with LEGO.
Chris McKay stated:
I’m really excited about where the movie is gonna go because it’s about these things that are actual notions that people have that might even be unconscious biases, where people don’t even realize that that’s the way they’re looking at the world.

This could be interesting considering Lego’s stance that girls don’t like minifigures
It could also be as boring and uninnovative as “hey there are Lego Friends sets there now.”
Please, please don’t add those stupid “mini-dolls”
They were already briefly pictured in the Lego Movie during Wyldstyle’s talk of other worlds.
yeah, but not prominently. In passing is fine, not as a major character.
I completely expect them to bring in Friends stuff due to its popularity, I just don’t want them to somehow present that as if that’s sufficient to qualify as ‘addressing gender roles.” There’s more to it than that.
“Gender Issues”
You may want to re-phrase that line, because it doesn’t sound like what you actually meant. I’m serious.
I have no idea what you interpreted out of that, honestly.
I can’t speak for the Hutt but when I’ve seen that phrase before it usually had to do with with gender identity issues like transgender stuff. The context suggests otherwise though.
I really don’t think it was unclear what was being referred to, but I guess that’s possible?
@reavenveaceslav:disqus
Yeah, it seemed like he meant gender identity, as it is 2017 and anything is possible.
Thanks for editing Allen, it is much better now.
I’ve rephrased it.
gender issues??? it should be gender roles.
Please tell me this isn’t going to devolve into yet another Hollywood lecture on gender issues. I’m truly sick to death of being lectured by multimillionaires who play dress-up and make-believe for a living. It isn’t fun. I’m not against the theme or issue if they think they must include it but please, PLEASE, organically work it into the story! Nothing is more irritating than a good story and good characters suddenly being derailed for A Very Special Lesson.
Some snowflake was triggered….
To be honest, I don’t want it to be shoehorned into gender issues either. The movie needs to survive due to good writing and quality about the controversial issue, and not rely on the controversial issue to make itself important.
The fact you think this is a controversial issue explains everything.
It isn’t?
No. Girls and boys are taught to play differently than each other and the movie can address those those.
That…makes it not controversial how….?
Exactly what I was thinking…
It’s not a controversial issue? Do you go outside ever?
What about having an understanding of the situation on an issue determines what viewpoint I have?
I’m so sorry that my opinion offended you, buddy! Do you need a safe space? Maybe a healing coloring book? Can I get you a kitten? Poor David4! Poor weak soul! I’m sorry my personal dislike for movies that lecture instead of entertain bothered you. I’ll try not to get under your thin skin in the future. Take care! I hope you recover quickly from the traumatic shock of others not agreeing with you about everything 100% of the time.
Well I think you’re the one who sounds like is in need of a safe space, as evidenced by your last two comments. Lol. Triggered not once but twice.
I really hope they don’t over do it and become preachy.
This is kind of interesting given that Lego has a long history of under producing female minifigs. I wonder if there’s going to be any mention of that.
Whoa!
