The countdown to next year's The LEGO Movie 2 has officially begun with the release of the first trailer, and it looks like the heroes of Bricksburg have even bigger problems on their hands this time 'round.

Five years on from their first "everything is awesome" big screen adventure, Emmet (Chris Pratt), Lucy (Elizabeth Banks), LEGO Batman (Will Arnett) and co must face the onslaught of the LEGO DUPLO invaders from outer space, who are "wrecking everything faster than they can rebuild".

New to the set-piece shenanigans are Girls Trip star Tiffany Haddish as Queen Watevra Wa-Nabi; Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Stephanie Beatriz as Sweet Mayhem; and Narcos' Arturo Castro as Ice Cream Cone.

Take a look at the post-apocalyptic-meets-sci-fi-style trailer and see if you think everything is as awesome as before:
The LEGO Movie 2 opens on February 8, 2019.
