After he destroys the cake wedding of Wa'Nabi and Batman, Emmet realizes the real intentions of Rex Dangervest, and Rex knocks him under the same dryer to ensure his existence, but Lucy rallies the others into escaping from the storage bin (bringing them back into the LEGO world), and rescues him from Rex. After Lucy and his friends are abducted by General Sweet Mayhem (Stephanie Beatriz) of the Systar System, under the orders of shape-shifter Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi (Tiffany Haddish), he meets Rex Dangervest (Radical Emmet Xtreme), a galaxy defending (referencing Peter Quill from Guardians of the Galaxy) archaeologist (in turn to the speculation that Chris Pratt was to be the next Indiana Jones), cowboy (referencing Josh Faraday from The Magnificent Seven), and raptor trainer (referencing Owen Grady from Jurassic World), who is later revealed to be Emmet's future self as a time-traveler. In Lego Batman Is Jelly, Emmet appears to be disguised as Star-Lord (referencing their shared actor, Chris Pratt) as his "secret identity" after hanging around at a park playing banjo before going through "recreation". Wyldstyle becomes his girlfriend at the end of the film. Emmet's vest is bright orange and very light gray, while Rex’s is earth blue and dark stone grey and has a light green R on his vest. Rex Dangervest has stubble dots on his face and has similar construction worker vests and patterns compared to Emmet Brickowski, but in different colors. In one scene from The Lego Movie, Lord Business briefly refers to Emmet as "Brickowski", although this at first could have been interpreted as a clever insult.
It was initially planned that Emmet was going to have a sister in the second film, but around a month before its release, it was denied and the sister role ultimately went to Bianca. He starts out as an everyman construction worker in his home city of Bricksburg, and later, unexpectedly, becomes "The Special" Master Builder.

He appears in three episodes of the YouTube series How It Should Have Ended (HISHE): The LEGO HISHE, The LEGO HISHE 2 - The Alternate Ending and Lego Batman Is Jelly. In the beginning of the film when a local Gotham News Anchorman is explaining the results of Joker's bomb blast, footage of Emmet falling into the Infinite Abyss of Nothingness is shown to illustrate what would happen.
His Fun Pack also includes his excavator. The LEGO universe is transformed into a mishmash of Apocalypseburg and the Systar System called "Syspocalypstar" which is peaceful. He has several variants of himself, which can be used as entertainment or disguises required to make progress in a level. Emmet has also been portrayed in other uses of popular media. But when he discovers that everything in the Lego world is from the imagination of a child with amazing creativity, he finds his own inner power of creativity and becomes a true Master Builder.

This would have meant that Emmet was about 13.5 years old when Lord Business stole the Kragle, as Emmet found the Piece of Resistance eight-and-a-half years later. He starts out as an everyman construction worker in his home city of Bricksburg, and later, unexpectedly, becomes "The Special" Master Builder. Emmet Brickowski , later known by his alter-ego Radical Emmet Xtreme "Rex" Dangervest, is a Lego minifigure character in the Lego Movie franchise and the protagonist of The Lego Movie (2014) and its sequel, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019).

Chris Pratt reprises his role. In The LEGO HISHE, Emmet is seen defeating the Duplo Aliens and saying hello to Lego Superman and Batman in the café. Emmet's first, and so far only, appearance in films not related to the original story was in the first spin-off film, The Lego Batman Movie. Emmet appears as the protagonist in the game, voiced by Keith Ferguson. Emmet's dream house is rebuilt and Lucy reveals that she was one of the original artists of "Everything Is Awesome" much to Emmet's surprise.

", Although it is seen as a clever pun on a real person's surname ending in "-owski" (with "Brick-" coming from a Lego brick), Emmet's surname is believed to have drawn inspiration from former NBA player Frank Brickowski.

To satisfy himself, he follows what appears to be a very long, almost endless, list of instructions that show him how to fit in with everyone in the world and always be happy. They both have blue undershirts and (Emmet’s is brighter and Rex’s is darker) share the same quiff in their hair. Nevertheless, Emmet still has some nice friends; his neighbors and co-workers in his job of construction, though he is mostly unrecognized and ignored. Emmet appears as a playable character in Lego Dimensions. He lives in an apartment with no one to hang around with except for "Planty", a potted green plant that Emmet claims as a pet, along with other junk objects. Emmet is depicted as an ordinary guy, kind, humorous, and very light-hearted (up-beat). Emmet and Lucy make an appearance in a 2014 episode of The Simpsons, "Brick Like Me".

He is sent back to the Lego world where he makes a speech to Lord Business and saves the world celebrating with his new friends. In the sequel, Emmet must use his Master Builder skills to save his friends from a new danger. In The LEGO HISHE 2 - The Alternate Ending, he is seen with other characters from the first movie in an alternate ending to the film where they have President Business jailed for his crimes, despite his change of heart. Like the first film's game, he has several variants of himself, which can be used as entertainment or disguises required to make progress in a level. In The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, Rex Dangervest calls Emmet by his first name and surname, and jokes about it stating, "you're the reason I started wearing vests. Locascio.
