Is LEGO Movie 2 Bringing in Doctor Who?

Back in July, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment released a new trailer for their video gameLego Dimensions, which brings a slew of different franchises together in oneLEGOuniverse. While most of these properties are controlled by Warner Bros., the trailer did feature an interesting inclusion, the Time Lord himself,Doctor Who. It turns out the good doctor may be continuing his LEGO adventures on the big screen inThe Lego Movie Sequel, according to directorRob Schrab.

The filmmaker recently appeared onDan Harmon’sHarmontownpodcast, where he teased that Warner Bros. is working out a deal forDoctor Whoto appear in the sequel. Unfortunately, the filmmaker wouldn’t divulge any further details, including whether or not the currentTime Lord,Peter Capaldi, will return to provide his voice forThe Lego Movie 2. Warner Bros. has set a July 17, 2025 release date for theanimated movie, so there is still plenty of time for all of the details to be worked out.

It’s worth noting thatPeter Capaldidid provide his voice for the Lego Dimensions video game, where fans can actually play as the good Doctor. The game also features the first 11 Doctors as well, but they are only accessible in the game’s Adventure, or open-world mode. The game used archived sound for the first 11 Doctors, and sincePeter Capaldilent his voice to the game, one could assume he would do so again forThe Lego Movie Sequel. If a deal is finalized, it would be the first time any version ofDoctor Whohas appeared on the big screen since a series of movies in the 1960s starringDoctor Who, which are not considered part of the franchise’s canon.

As of now, no voice cast members or characters have been confirmed forThe Lego Movie Sequel. It seems likely thatThe Lego MoviestarsChris Pratt(Emmet),Will Arnett(Batman),Elizabeth Banks(Wyldstyle),Alison Brie(Princess Uni-Kitty),Charlie Day(Spaceman Benny) andWill Ferrell(President Business) may return. No story details have been revealed either, so it isn’t known howDoctor Whomay be introduced into thisLEGOworld.

Jeff,The Mindy ProjectandParks and Recreation. He also co-wrote the movieMonster HousewithCommunitycreatorDan Harmon. Do you hope the Time Lord will be a part ofThe Lego Movie Sequel?
