The LEGO Movie 2 Trailer: 7 Easter Eggs & References You Might Have Missed

1. Guardians Of The Galaxy

Another subtle reference takes the form of Emmet in a spaceship. When he blasts off in it to rescue is friends, he talks to a plant friend named 'Frondy'.

Given that Emmet is voiced by Chris Pratt, who plays Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy and has a sentient tree as a companion, this seems like a subtle nod to the franchise.

The writers and producers on The Lego Movie 2, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, have an interesting relationship with Disney - they were replaced as directors on Solo due to Disney not liking their direction.

It's nice, therefore, that Lord and Miller's reference to a Disney property is a friendly one.

What other references did you spot in the trailer? Let us know down in the comments.

I'm based in the UK, looking to make a career out of writing about entertainment and culture. The only thing I like as much as watching films, playing games or listening to music is enjoying as much hummus and crisps as I can while I do so. My favourite film is Eddie the Eagle and I like any game that lets me wander around beautiful worlds (or eat hummus and crisps).
