1 It’s the fourth movie in the LEGO franchise... ...and the sequel to the film that kick-started it all: 2014’s critically acclaimed (but bafflingly Oscar- ignored) The LEGO Movie – a firm favourite in the Odeon Mag office. Watch the trailer The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part 2 Mike Mitchell directs Rob Schrab was originally behind the camera, but “creative differences” put paid to that. Mitchell’s track record includes the glitter-tastic Trolls, so expect great things. 3 All our favourites are back That includes Chris Pratt as Emmet, Elizabeth Banks as Wyldstyle and Will Arnett as Batman, while Phil Lord and Christopher Miller – the clever-clogs writers behind the first LEGO Movie – also return. 4 The battle for Bricksburg is on...
