But in less obvious news, the upcoming animated film [has also found a director](http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/feb/25/the-lego-movie-sequel-director-rob-schrab "undefined"), who will be making the jump from television comedy to the big screen. Rob Schrab, known for his work on _The Sarah Silverman Program,_ _Community,_ and _The Mindy Project_, will make his feature-film directorial debut with _The Lego Movie Sequel,_ the _Guardian_ reports. But you’ll have to sit through two other Lego-related films before the direct sequel arrives in 2018\. A spin-off movie starring Lego’s ninja figurines, _Ninjago_, is slated for a 2016 release, while another spin-off movie about the Batman character from _The Lego Movie_ will hit theaters the following year in 2017. \[[_The Guardian_](http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/feb/25/the-lego-movie-sequel-director-rob-schrab "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3721829/the-lego-movie-sequel-director/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3721829/the-lego-movie-sequel-director/"},"headline":"The Lego Movie Sequel Has a Director and a Completely Unsurprising Title","datePublished":"2015-02-25T13:35:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T04:41:44.867Z","description":"Rob Schrab has directed episodes of Parks and Rec and Workaholics","url":"https://time.com/3721829/the-lego-movie-sequel-director/","keywords":["movies","The Lego Movie","Community"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt52c81c932aeaa85b/69869044169ab0af21279662/warner-brothers-the-lego-movie-2014.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt52c81c932aeaa85b/69869044169ab0af21279662/warner-brothers-the-lego-movie-2014.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"warner-brothers-the-lego-movie-2014","caption":"The Lego Movie","creditText":"Warner Bros.","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3721829/the-lego-movie-sequel-director/","name":"The Lego Movie Sequel Has a Director and a Completely Unsurprising Title"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Oscars 2015: Tegan and Sara and The Lonely Island Perform “Everything Is Awesome”","description":"Oscars 2015: Tegan and Sara and The Lonely Island Perform “Everything Is Awesome”","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/HNTQKYiC/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-23T02:28:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/HNTQKYiC.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3721829/the-lego-movie-sequel-director/","duration":"PT27S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3721829/the-lego-movie-sequel-director/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
