85-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg is joining to the Lego world. The mini-figure of Ginsburg will not be voiced by Ginsburg herself, but she will give her approval to have her likeness appear in the movie. Director Mike Mitchell reached out to her office to ask permission to use her image. “She said, ‘Of course, I’d love to be a Lego figure. That would be cool,’” Mitchell said. 

“These movies are so full of surprises. And we were thinking, ‘Who’s the last person you would think to see in a Lego film as a minifig?’ Ruth Bader Ginsburg!” Mitchell told the USA Today. “And we’re all huge fans. It made us laugh to think of having her enter this world.”

In The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, two siblings are playing with their LEGO and according to the outlet, Ginsburg will make an appearance as “part of the creative younger sister’s universe.”

The movie is set to hit theaters on February 8.

The opening night gala screening will take place on November 8, and the full lineup is yet to be revealed. Director Mimi Leder is one of the first women to ever be admitted to the AFI Conservatory, so it’s quite symbolic her movie will get to open the festival.

The premiere of On the Basis of Sex will also mark the 25th anniversary of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s appointment to the Supreme Court. Leder believes her film couldn’t come at a more important moment in history nor be shown at a more relevant place than AFI Fest. She expressed her hopes that a lot of young women will “find inspiration to realize their own unlimited potential” after seeing this biopic.

Bob Gazzale, president and CEO of the American Film Institute, said its AFI’s honor to shine a proper light upon Leder and this landmark film, starring Felicity Jones and Armie Hammer.

“AFI was founded to celebrate excellence in the art form and to ensure it for future generations, On the Basis of Sex brings these dual mandates together as one – a story essential to our times and a triumph for one of the first female directors at the AFI Conservatory,” said Gazzale.
