After being the subject of the Felicity Jones-headlined biopic On the Basis of Sex and the documentary RBG, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is set for another big screen outing this February with an appearance in minifigure form in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part.
“These movies are so full of surprises,” co-director Mike Mitchell tells USA Today (via Dark Horizons). “And we were thinking, ‘Who’s the last person you would think to see in a LEGO film as a minifig?’ Ruth Bader Ginsburg! And we’re all huge fans. It made us laugh to think of having her enter this world. She said, ‘Of course, I’d love to be a LEGO figure. That would be cool.’ There will [also] be a real Ruth Bader Ginsburg toy that boys and girls can play with. It will even come with a gavel.”
“We just were trying to think of people who should be immortalized in LEGO and who seem fun at weddings,” added producers and screenwriters Chris Miller and Phil Lord.
