After The LEGO Movie became a huge hit in 2014, Warner Bros. made plans to continue its LEGO film franchise with various spin-offs. Before The LEGO Movie Sequel gets released in theaters on February 8, 2019, two LEGO spin-offs will make their way into theaters: The LEGO Batman movie on February 10, 2017, and Ninjango, a film based on "Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu" toys, and according to Collider, the film is set to release in September 2017.
Not much details have been revealed about Ninjango since its announcement, but now BrickSet.com is reporting that the film's voice cast was revealed in a catalog at the 2016 Licensing Expo. Check out the stellar line-up:
Jackie Chan is Master Wu
Dave Franco is Lloyd
Michael Peña is Kai
Abbi Jacobson is Nya
Kumail Nanjiani is Jay
Zach Woods is Zane
Fred Armisen is Cole
The voice cast is full of talent, and I'm sure the movie is going to be funny. The outlet also shared a syopsis for the film:
"Ninjago is the story of six young ninja tasked with defending their island home, called Ninjago. By night, they're gifted warriors, using their skills and awesome fleet of vehicles to fight villains and monsters. By day, they're ordinary teens struggling against their greatest enemy: high school."
Dan and Kevin Hageman, the writers behind Cartoon Network's Ninjago TV series, penned the screenplay with Bryan Shukoff and Kevin Chesley. Phil Lord and Chris Miller producing, and TRON: Uprising's Charlie Bean is directing the film.
