Cast & Characters:
- Chris Pratt as:
- Emmet Brickowski, an everyman, construction worker, and a Master Builder from Bricksburg and Lucy’s boyfriend.
- Rex Dangervest, a self-proclaimed “galaxy-defender, archaeologist, cowboy, and raptor trainer.” He is eventually revealed to be Emmet’s dangerously nihilistic future self. His character is based on Pratt’s most famous roles.
- Elizabeth Banks as Lucy / Wyldstyle, a Master Builder and Emmet’s girlfriend.
- Will Arnett as Bruce Wayne / Batman, a DC Comics superhero who is a Master Builder.
- Tiffany Haddish as Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi, the shape-shifting alien queen of the Systar System that was made by Emmet as a heart. Her name is a pun on the phrase “whatever I want to be”, itself a descriptor of her shape-shifting abilities, which are displayed when she changes into multiple forms throughout the movie.
- Stephanie Beatriz as General Sweet Mayhem, an intergalactic mini-doll who serves as the intergalactic naval commander and law enforcer of the Systar System Armed Forces. She is the right-hand woman to Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi.
- Charlie Day as Benny, a Master Builder who is a spaceship-obsessed 1980s spaceman. In contrast to the previous movie, he has a metallic arm.
- Alison Brie as Princess Unikitty / Ultrakatty, a Master Builder who is a unicorn-horned cat. In this film, instead of turning red when angry, she is red right from the outset. Over the years since the first film, she has developed the ability to become a giant version of herself called “Ultrakatty” when combat is about to occur.
- Nick Offerman as MetalBeard, a Master Builder who is a large bionic pirate with a severed head after he lost his original body in an earlier encounter with Lord Business’ forces.
- Jadon Sand as Finn, a young teenager in the real world, whose imagination drives the events happening in the Lego universe.
- Brooklynn Prince as Bianca, Finn’s younger sister, who is the reason why the aliens from the planet Duplo attacked Bricksburg.
- Maya Rudolph as Mom, the unnamed mother of Finn and Bianca. She is the force in the real world that brings about “Armamageddon” (portmanteau of “our mom” and “Armageddon”). She was previously voiced off-screen by Amanda Farinos in the first film.
- Will Ferrell as:
- President Business, the former President of the Octan corporation and the Lego World, who served as the main antagonist of the first film.
- The Man Upstairs, a Lego collector who is Finn and Bianca’s father. Outside of re-used footage from the first film, Ferrell does not appear on-screen in this role, performing only in an off-screen voiceover, although a photo of the Man Upstairs and his family on a log flume ride can be seen in his daughter Bianca’s bedroom.
- Richard Ayoade as “Ice Cream Cone”, a talking ice cream cone and citizen of the Systar System who serves as Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi’s aide.
- Channing Tatum as Superman, a DC Comics superhero, and one of the Master Builders.
- Jonah Hill as Green Lantern, a DC Comics superhero, and one of the Master Builders.
- Cobie Smulders as Wonder Woman, a DC Comics superhero who is an ambassador of the Amazon people as well as a Master Builder.
- Jason Momoa as Aquaman, a DC Comics superhero who is the king of Atlantis and is also a Master Builder. Momoa reprises his role from the DC Extended Universe.
- Margot Rubin as:
- Harley Quinn, a Gotham City criminal, girlfriend to The Joker and Master Builder. She was previously voiced by Jenny Slate in The Lego Batman Movie.
- Susan, a mini-doll, and one of Queen Watevra Wa-Nabi’s servants.
- Mermaid, an inhabitant of Apocalypseburg.
- Wonder Woman mini-doll, an inhabitant of Harmony Town.
- Panda, a panda-masked inhabitant of Apocalypseburg.
- Ike Barinholtz as Lex Luthor, a DC Comics supervillain, Master Builder and arch-enemy of Superman. Strangely, he and the Man of Steel have somehow become best friends after being brain-washed by the Queen.
- Ralph Fiennes as Alfred Pennyworth, a DC Comics character and Master Builder who is Batman’s loyal Butler.
- Will Forte as Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States and a Master Builder.
- Bruce Willis as himself, a Lego caricature of the actor who appears in several scenes, including a running joke alluding to his character John McClane from the 20th Century Studios Die Hard franchise.
- Ben Schwartz as Banarnar, a sentient banana peel who is a citizen and the perpetual jester of the Systar System.
- Jimmy O. Yang as Zebe, a lavender and black zebra who is a citizen and the bus driver of the Systar System.
- Noel Fielding as Balthazar, a sparkly-faced teenage vampire, spa expert, and DJ from the planet Sparkle in the Systar System describing himself as an “attractive and non-threatening teen vampire.” He is a nod to Edward Cullen from The Twilight Saga.
- Jorma Taccone as Larry Poppins, a male counterpart of Mary Poppins.
- Gary Payton as Himself, a Lego caricature of the basketball player who Emmet encounters in Apocalypseburg.
- Sheryl Swoopes as Herself, a Lego caricature of the basketball player who Emmet encounters in Apocalypseburg.

About Movie:
The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is an animated adventure comedy film produced by Warner Animation Group and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Directed by Mike Mitchell, the film serves as a sequel to The Lego Movie (2014) and is the fourth installment in the Lego franchise. The screenplay was crafted by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who also contributed to the previous films.
The voice cast includes returning actors Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, Alison Brie, Nick Offerman, and Will Ferrell, alongside new additions Stephanie Beatriz, Tiffany Haddish, and Maya Rudolph. Set five years after the events of Taco Tuesday, the story follows Emmet Brickowski (Pratt) and Lucy (Banks) as they navigate challenges in the Systar System while confronting a looming cataclysm known as “Armamageddon.”
Development for The Lego Movie 2 began shortly after the release of the first film in February 2014. Initially announced with Chris McKay as director, multiple changes occurred throughout production, ultimately leading to Mike Mitchell taking over in February 2017. The animation was once again handled by Animal Logic, with Mark Mothersbaugh returning to compose the musical score.
The film premiered in Los Angeles on February 2, 2019, and was released in theaters on February 8. It received generally positive reviews for its humor and animation but was considered a box-office disappointment, grossing approximately $199.6 million worldwide against a budget of around $99 million. This marked the second consecutive box-office setback for the franchise following The Lego Ninjago Movie.
Despite its commercial performance, The Lego Movie 2 continued to explore themes of friendship and creativity while incorporating elements from both the Lego universe and real-world dynamics between siblings Finn and Bianca. Following Universal Pictures’ acquisition of the Lego film rights in 2020, new projects are currently in development under their banner, including a separate Lego film titled Piece by Piece, set to be released on October 11, 2024.
