307

In a bold new chapter of LEGO’s Rebuild the World platform, actor Tom Holland stars as the brand’s first-ever Playmaker—a creative ambassador in a campaign designed to reawaken the joy of play among all age groups. The campaign, titled “Never Stop Playing,” is headlined by a two-minute action-packed film where Holland shapeshifts into nine different characters, including a cowboy, footballer, rocket pilot, and even a LEGO minifigure.Directed by the celebrated filmmaking duo Los Pérez, the ad embraces LEGO’s signature style—maximalist visuals, imaginative brick builds, rapid-fire transitions, and a high-octane soundtrack (AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”). Holland’s real-life brothers, Sam and Harry, make surprise cameos, adding levity and personal touch to the visual storytelling.LEGO’s Chief Product and Marketing Officer, Julia Goldin, called Holland “the embodiment of creative confidence,” saying the partnership reflects LEGO’s core belief that play is not just for kids. “Adults need it just as much—if not more,” she said. The film encourages viewers to reject rigid expectations and reconnect with their inner builder.The campaign coincides with a strong financial year for LEGO. In H1 2025, the brand saw a 12% increase in global revenue, driven by bestselling sets like LEGO Botanicals and its Formula 1 series. The “Never Stop Playing” platform is expected to drive further engagement across adult and multigenerational audiences.With Holland’s global popularity and relatable personality, LEGO hopes to inspire a more emotionally resonant narrative around adult creativity, stress relief, and self-expression—all built on the timeless act of play.
