11th August 2016 - Dave Franco, Justin Theroux, Olivia Munn, Jackie Chan Join Cast
The cast of The Lego Ninjago Movie is ready for battle. Warner Bros. announced Thursday that Neighbors 2 star Dave Franco, X-Men: Apocalypse actress Olivia Munn, and martial arts icon Jackie Chan will lend their voices to the ninja-themed Lego Movie spinoff.
Franco will play Lloyd, a.k.a. the Green Ninja, a young warrior who leads the charge to defeat the evil warlord Garmadon, who also happens to be his father. Chan will voice Wu, a wisecracking kung fu master; Munn will voice Koko, Lloyd’s mother; and Justin Theroux will voice Garmadon.
The cast — which first leaked via a licensing catalog — also includes Fred Armisen, Abbi Jacobson, Kumail Nanjiani, Michael Peña, and Zach Woods as Lloyd’s crew of modern-day ninjas.
Charlie Bean (Tron: Uprising) is making his feature directing debut on the animated movie, working from a screenplay by Hilary Winston, Bob Logan, and Paul Fisher.
