Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — who is still very much alive — isn’t quite done with her roles in feature films on the big screen. In the past year alone, she’s starred in her own documentary, been featured in a biopic about the beginning of her career, and her likeness has been turned into an action figure. Now, the Notorious RBG will be seen in an upcoming animated CGI movie.

Justice Ginsburg will have a cameo role in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, and Her Honor will get her very own Lego figure to boot. According to director Mike Mitchell, “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!”

Although she won’t be providing her voice for the character, she whole-heartedly approved of being featured in the film. Per Mitchell, “She said, ‘Of course, I’d love to be a Lego figure. That would be cool.'”

We’ll keep an eye out for the RBG Lego minifigure and fill you in on the details ASAP. Mitchell says “[i]t will even come with a gavel.” Congratulations to Justice Ginsburg on yet another cool career achievement. Not every justice has their own Lego minifig — but she does! Hopefully you’ll be able to add it to your collection before it sells out.
