History
In December 2019, Warner Bros began negotiations to redistribute upcoming film properties based on Lego toys. In January 2020, Warner Bros announced that they expected future Lego movies to be distributed this time in conjunction with Universal Pictures.

In April 2020, the agreement with Warner Bros. was established for a limited 9-year film contract with Universal Pictures, which will lend various film rights, taking 40% of the total profits.

The contract with The Lego Group was renewed in October 2028 due to the commercial success of the franchise, being limited to 11 years with Warner Bros. Universal Pictures soon rejoined as part of the deal, thus giving the company more freedom to produce the next deliveries and develop the franchise more carefully.

On August 18, 2027, it was revealed that Warner Bros. Universal and Lego Media had been working and negotiating with other film companies to bring various brands to LEU since at least May 2026. One of these was Walt Disney Studios.

On December 6, 2029, Warner Bros. Universal Pictures, LEGO Media and Disney announced that an agreement had been reached and that brands such as Star Wars, Marvel Super Heroes, their very own Original animated properties and Indiana Jones will now be able to be used in Warner Bros. and Universal Studios media within a limited period of time for eleven years. In addition, it was mentioned that multiple productions set in the LEU are already in production.

The first movie of the contract was "The Lego Star Wars Movie" released in 2030 and has two sequels and a spin-off scheduled in addition to other media being made to accompany them as well.

In february 2029, Sony Pictures Entertainment announced that multiple properties would appear on the LEU, (The brands were specified to be: Ghostbusters, Spider Man and Jumanji, such as Men in Black, The Smurfs and Charlie's Angels as small star appearances in some films). All appearing in a ten year period with unlimited movies.

As part of the agreement, Sony Pictures would continue to finance, distribute, own and have ultimate creative control of the films.

First steps
On October, 2028, Warner Bros. purchased the film rights to make LEGO movies for the third time in a row, again with Universal Pictures. Both companies stated that the new contract would not differ from the previous one, having the same production and distribution parameters, although it was said that they expected to produce and distribute future projects with other film studios and brands. By December, it was revealed that agreements had been reached with Walt Disney Studios and Sony Pictures, and that they had already begun to produce different films and television series set online in the LEU with various characters (Star Wars, Marvel Superheroes and Indiana Jones), although Jørgen Vig Knudstorp (executive director of LEGO System A / S) revealed that there were plans to create a film and television division, charged with taking the main direction and control of these films, as well asproducing and distributing independent projects.

In May 2029, after months of discussion, LEGO Studios was founded, which by December had already released four titles for the LEU it would produce, The LEGO Star Wars Movie, The LEGO Ghostbusters Movie, The LEGO Monsters Fighters Movie and The LEGO Hidden Side Movie, signing release dates from 2030.
