USA Today has released The Master: A LEGO Ninjago Short, introducing you to Master Wu, Jackie Chan’s character in the upcoming The LEGO Ninjago Movie. The short will be playing before the animated Storks (in theaters September 23rd) and serves as a fighting introduction to the martial-arts prowess of Lego hero Master Wu.
In this big-screen Ninjago adventure, the battle for Ninjago City calls to action young Lloyd, aka the Green Ninja, along with his friends, who are all secret warriors and LEGO Master Builders. Led by kung fu master Wu, as wise-cracking as he is wise, they must defeat evil warlord Garmadon, the Worst Guy Ever, who also happens to be Lloyd’s dad. Pitting mech against mech and father against son, the epic showdown will test this fierce but undisciplined team of modern-day ninjas who must learn to check their egos and pull together to unleash their true power.
The film stars the voices of Jackie Chan as Master Wu, Justin Theroux is Garmadon, Dave Franco plays Lloyd and Olivia Munn is Lloyd’s mom, Koko. Making up the secret ninja crew, Fred Armisen voices Cole, Abbi Jacobson plays Nya, Kumail Nanjiani is Jay, Michael Peña is Kai and Zach Woods voices Zane.
"The LEGO Ninjago Movie" is directed by Charlie Bean and written by Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman. The movie is slated to open nationwide on September 22nd, 2017.
