Two of the best sidekicks to take on any journey in Warner Bros. Pictures’ “The LEGO Movie 2” would be MetalBeard and Benny, played by returning stars Nick Offerman and Charlie Day. Though they’re as different as a galleon to a rocket ship, the bottom line is, these guys just want to get the job done and help their friends.
“MetalBeard is a pirate whose body was lost in battle and who managed to cobble together a new one out of spare parts that he’s constantly replacing,” says Offerman of his character, who resembles not only a pirate but a pirate ship, with a fair amount of Swiss Army knife thrown in. “That makes him the ultimate mechanic and very handy in a crisis when an object needs to be put together. Hopefully, MetalBeard is around to launch a shark or a cannonball out of his arm.”
It’s time to go where no brick has gone before. Watch the new trailer of the big-screen animated adventure “The LEGO® Movie 2” that’s just been launched by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Meanwhile, starring roles have been cast for “The LEGO® Movie 2,” the much-anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed, global box office phenomenon that started it all. Mike Mitchell, of “Shrek Forever After,” “Trolls” and “Sky High” will direct.
Reprising their fan-favorite characters from “The LEGO Movie” are Chris Pratt as Emmet, Elizabeth Banks as Lucy (aka Wyldstyle), Will Arnett as LEGO BatmanTM, Nick Offerman as Metal Beard, and Alison Brie as Unikitty.

The film is being produced by Dan Lin, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Roy Lee, the team behind the LEGO film franchise since “The LEGO Movie” debuted in 2014.
“The LEGO Movie 2” 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 facing a huge new threat: LEGO DUPLO® invaders from outer space, wrecking everything faster than they can rebuild. The battle to defeat them and restore harmony to the LEGO universe will take Emmet, Lucy, Batman 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.
In Philippine cinemas February 2019, “The LEGO Movie 2” is distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
