The Lego Movie sequel has been given an official title.

Four years after the release of the critically-acclaimed animation, the follow-up is scheduled to arrive in cinemas February 2019 with the subtitle 'The Second Part.'

The news was announced on the film's official Twitter account accompanied by a brand new poster.

Chris Pratt and Elizabeth Banks will return as lead characters Master Builder Emmet Brickowoski and Wyldstyle alongside Jonah Hill (Green Lantern), Channing Tatum (Superman) and Lego Batman himself Will Arnett. There'll also be a new addition in the form of Tiffany Haddish who'll be playing a “key new character.”

Replacing Phil Lord and Chris Miller as directors is Trolls filmmaker Mike Mitchell with the former duo remaining on board as producers. Excitingly, Raphael Bob-Waksberg - the creator of Netflix comedy BoJack Horseman - was hired to re-write the script alongside Mike Fogel.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is set to hit UK cinemas on 8 February 2019.
