Daft Punk officially return in new movie, but there’s a big catch
The world’s most famous helmet-wearing duo is back. This time, there’s an even bigger change to Daft Punk’s appearance… and it’s all thanks to Pharrell.
Whether you know them from their early ’00s bangers like ‘Around the World’ and ‘One More Time’, or their 2013 chart-topper ‘Get Lucky’, Daft Punk is one of the most famous electronic music duos of all time.
The pair officially disbanded in 2021 after 28 years of working together, but anew movieis set to thrust them back into the spotlight. However, there’s one difference – to quote Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It, “They’re all made of Lego.”
This doesn’t follow in the footsteps of the company’sStar Warsgames orBatman movies, but instead comes from Pharrell Williams’ upcoming biopic, Piece By Piece. The film is set to tell his life story, for some reason, through the child’s toy.
Pharrell’s reason? “LEGO really helps to universalize the story so that it can be received by anyone that comes from a marginalized community,” heexplainedto Reuters during Toronto International Film Festival.
Aside from a few stills, it’s currently unclear how Daft Punk will be featured in Piece by Piece – but it’s a good guess that their work together will be explored (‘Get Lucky’ is already used in the trailer).
“Closest thing to new Daft Punk content… damn I miss those guys,” one fanpostedon X/Twitter, with a second agreeing, “LEGO + Pharrell + Daft Punk? This is a biopic I didn’t know I needed!”

A third weighed in “Please Lego release the physical Daft Punk minifigures,” with a fourth adding, “Seems a waste to spend all that time designing them, and not make some minifigures…”
“Welcome back my kings even if only for a split second in Lego form,” a fifthsummed up.
Currently, there are no confirmed plans for Daft Punk Lego minifigures to be released. Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, and Snoop Dogg will also all appear in the movie.
Piece By Piece arrives in cinemas on October 11. In the meantime, you’re able to check out thebest moviesof the year so far, alongsidenew movies streamingthis month.
