While more details are sparse, the voice actors were announced as well, including Jackie Chan and Olivia Munn. Keep an eye open for more news as it comes!

Wait... They actually got Jackie Chan to voice one of the characters in this movie? :o And I thought getting Morgan Freeman to voice Vitruvius in the LEGO Movie was impressive.

If anything, getting big-name actors for this and future Lego movies is probably easier than it was for The Lego Movie, now that Lego is a proven brand in Hollywood. Before The Lego Movie's success, a lot of high-profile actors would probably be apprehensive of doing a movie based on a toy, especially one like Lego that didn't originally come with any sort of story. But after The Lego Movie released to massive audience and critical appeal, actors who might otherwise be concerned about a Lego movie being a shameless cash-in or box-office poison will likely have a little more confidence in what the role has to offer.

Besides that, it's important to remember that Jackie Chan appears in a lot of movies. He's appeared in over 100 different movies over the course of his career, and in the past decade he's taken on a fair number of voice roles, perhaps in part due to his age — it's tough for him to take on as many live-action, stunt-heavy action roles as he was once known for.
