Marvel Superheroes 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[Agent Kallus]

Hopefully that they've already announced these guys will be in it means TLG won't have sets without them to avoid spoilers like with endgame.

Also  ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡uǝllǝʞɔW uɐI

Okay this line-up is insane so far, there’s so many potential amazing minifigs and sets to come.

Haha, I was just thinking that. With them being announced so soon hopefully that means they can be used in the sets. I’m sure there’s a few surprise characters in there. But so far, the potential is crazy

That was indeed who I was referring to. It's getting a lot more interesting now though! 

Definitely excited for where this seems to be going. And as @DaredevilFan says, the minifigure potential is huge. I was excited about the idea of the Thunderbolts and now they're just a distant memory haha.

With the huge number of characters being announced no excuses for Lego not to go absolutely huge here! Really hope they do at least three or four characters announced who we don’t have that I would very much like minifigures of!

Hopefully with these Doomsday casting announcements we'll get more accurate sets and minifigures!  It better be a wave like Infinity War  - not Endgame!

[Mandalorianknight]

I've been very skeptical of doomsday but I can't deny how cool it'll be to see those three hero groups interact, even if one of them is a shell of what once was.

Ideally the ones we haven't had figures of yet get figures- even if Doomsday is trash I'll still be hyped for a figure of John Walker, or the ones who were announced via chairs we didn't previously know were coming.

Don't think you need to worry about putting them upside down, it's all official Marvel announcements

Absolutely praying that the X-Men characters get some comic accurate suits... WE NEED NIGHTCRAWLER!

 

Out of all 27 cast members in that video, the only figures with potential to be repeated figures are the F4, Captain America (unless he has a new suit, but we've seen that matters little these days), Falcon (Joaquin) and possibly Shuri, Namor and M'Baku (the pieces would be 4 years old by set release, so not impossible to bring back). Thor and Ant Man will probably depend on their suit design, but again, maybe not

So potential new figures include Loki (God of Stories), USAgent, Red Guardian (mass release), Sentry, Mystique and Nightcrawler with updated versions of Shang-Chi, Yelena, Bucky, Ghost, Beast, Prof X, Magneto, Cyclops and Gambit.

I'm not expecting to get all these as figures, plus there's definitely more characters in this film not announced as of yet (a lot of missing existing MCU characters in this list), but my fingers are crossed that we can compare Doomsday sets to Infinity War. Some figures were repeats from previous film sets, but other than 4 Outriders and Iron Man appearing in 2 sets, there weren't any other repetitive figures between the Infinity War wave. That's all I really hope for

[wesker]

Its still too early for me to get hyped up about this film mostly because it sounds like its relying too heavily on cameos and fan service over storytelling. And of the announced cast I feel like I already own a lot of these characters in Lego already (or soon will in the Fantastic Four's case)

The only draws in the sets for me would be the inclusion of US Agent, Red Guardian and the Fox X-Men, although my preference would be for more X-Men 97 characters and hope we still get some sets to tie-in with Season 2 rather than the show being ignored altogether because of their inclusion in Doomsday.

Yup - that's pretty much where I'm at with it. I can definitely appreciate fan service - that's why No Way Home ended up being successful - but, at best, it's only a card you can play once, and people have already talked about the non-theater rewatching experience of that movie. There's probably not any need to literally did up the corpses of other, older characters just for fan service (looking at you, Deadpool).

Speaking purely in terms of Legos, though? Throw in anyone you want. Potentially getting some of those characters in Lego form sounds fantastic. Yeah, some could end up being hit or miss (again, just look at the No Way Home line), but there were also some really good figures in there, too.

[Scarilian]

There's definitely a lot more cast members they have not announced. A lot of characters who were seen interacting with other characters prior who make no sense to not be included and plenty more who will be in the sequel. With that said I feel the casting announcement presents the film as reliant too much on the success of unproven aspects, such as Thunderbolts or the Fantastic Four reboot, neither of which I'm particularly interested in personally. 

It's weird to be going into a culmination movie not connected to over half the characters. It's just the spectacle now of seeing the visual representations of these characters fighting, not even the writing anymore as I don't have faith in them telling a good story, the nostalgia's not really working this time though as did not connect much with the 2000's X-Men as strong as other early 2000's Superhero media.

I guess the lack of Thunderbolts Lego sets make sense as all except one are confirmed to return in this cast announcement, a three-figure set could probably fill the gap if needed. If we had a Lego Thunderbolts set/sets then combined with the Lego Fantastic Four set it would have been half the main announced cast being released a year prior to Avengers: Doomsday and then likely recycled in those sets. I guess it makes more sense for them to save the Thunderbolts cast and split them over Doomsday sets alongside the other characters.

At the moment I'm only interested for figures, just Doctor Doom and Magneto. I really hope Lego has something good planned for 2026 in regards to legacy sets and Spider-man 4 incase Avengers:Doomsday ends up bricklink'able.

[JeanGreyForever]

A lot of these characters probably won't even have much screentime. Especially the more that get announced. Some of them will probably get more screentime from their casting announcements than they'll actually get in the final film so I don't even think this means we should expect about a dozen or so characters getting the Lego minifigure treatment necessarily.

[Clone OPatra]

I'm more excited for the LEGO potential of the characters that the film.... but even then it's not necessarily likely to get them, or they will be in some $130 battle set on a grey base with a tree given how lackluster the art direction and locations tend to be in the Russo Marvel films especially.

[BrickBob Studpants]

The cast sounds great so far! Kinda interesting they‘ve already announced cast members I would‘ve expected to have mere cameos

Hope this means we‘re getting a more accurate wave than Endgame‘s, but at least character-wise, that should be a given. The builds on the other hand…

Based solely on the cast so far, I think some sets could include Doom’s castle, Baxter Building, the Watchtower, and the Blackbird because of the X-Men.

I am mostly excited to get Thunderbolts Minifigures cause of the absence of sets, and now that we’re getting some X-Men, this may be the best shot at some Fox X-Men legacy figures.

All of this! The thing about fan service is that it needs a solid base. By the time "No Way Home" came out, each of the Spidermen had had at least two movies of their own to get the audience to like them and connect with them. (I actually don't think that you can only watch it once - the novelty might no longer be there but Andrew Garfield's reaction to MJ pelting him with bread is still my favourite part even after a handful of watchings. Though that might be in part because I find MJ extremely obnoxious and it's so refreshing to see a Spiderman who's not in love with her reacting to her.)

Similarly, a lot of "Endgame" reads like self-indulgent fan service, especially the scene where Tony finally gets to have a heart-to-heart with his father. But that was okay because those characters had earned the self-indulgence, because we'd stuck with them for so long and had gotten so invested in their fates.

I'm not interested in fan service about characters I've only seen like once and have no particular reason to care about. For the sake of the continued existence of the MCU, I do hope they'll come up with a good story (not necessarily a logical story as that would be a first for the MCU, but at least a gripping, high-stakes tale) for "Doomsday".

A tree?!?!? They're spoiling us.

Though actually I think it's the other end of the spectrum- for the first wave at least I expect most of the sets will be nonsense vehicles that weren't in the movie.

Marvel seems unable to properly use Mary Jane- Kirsten's is an absolutely insane human being when you think about it, "Michelle Jones" shares literally nothing in common with the real Mary Jane besides her initials and spider-man liking her, she wasn't in the TASM movies, most modern comics won't let them get together and portray her as unnecessarily angry at Peter over stuff. (Not the Ultimate series, which currently is the only reality in which spider-man's life doesn't have to absolutely suck.)

The way I see it, No Way Home works because beyond the fan service it's an excellent character arc for Tom and recontextualizes the MCU spider-man up to that point as the origin story for this Spider-Man. Seeing the other spiders interact with him is a nice bonus, but Tom's story is what makes it actually good. I liked Deadpool and Wolverine, I don't think the story was anything particularly special but it's still overall a good movie (maybe with the exception of the allegations that Nicepool is supposed to be a specific real-life guy his wife was trying to ruin, which kind of sours me on Ryan Reynold's deadpool as a whole.). Endgame is the cameofest that I actually think is the worst of the three on it's own- it still isn't bad, but without being the culmination of the MCU I don't think it gets past the box office of the other two, much less grabbing $3 billion.

And that's the issue with Doomsday- and now that I think about it, it's where the diminishing returns should kick in. We've seen the vast majority of these cameos return already- while most of these specific X-men are new to the MCU, they've been slow burning the X-men throughout with Patrick Stewart in MoM or all the X-men stuff in DP&W. I think it's been well proven at this point that the GA and a big chunk of fans don't care about the Replacement Avengers, so it's kind of on Thunderbolts and F4 doing well for Doomsday to succeed.

Honestly, I think the opposite. I don't hate Tom Holland's Peter but I'm not invested in his problems (My friends didn't get into MIT on the first try! We must brainwash the entire world in order to fix this!). Dr Strange is both out of character and severely underpowered just so we can have Peter and his friends lording it over him, and the ending feels ridiculously contrived. The multiversal fan service stuff, nonsensical as much of it was, was the highlight and for me the backbone of the movie.

I might be in the minority, but the last thing I want is X-Men in the MCU. Not because I have anything against the X-Men but because ever since "Endgame" we've been swamped with underdeveloped characters who briefly showed up only to immediately be shoved aside. So let's get a ton more of them! That might make for good merch but I really cannot see how it would make for a watchable movie.

Actually, I think it's a great idea to include the original X-Men cast who the general audience has had a 5 or so films to watch and love.  In a blockbuster movie stuffed with characters and economical for time per character, the audience immediately has understanding of who the X-Men are, their relationships, powers, motivations, and has an emotional investment in them - a writer's dream!  Compared to say newcomers Shangi-Chi, the Thunderbolts and the reboot Fantastic Four cast.

Also I firmly believe this is not the full cast, and Wolverine, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Photon, War Machine, and more will appear.  Surely Photon is in an X-Men universe from the post-credits of The Marvels,  and this is how the main universe is introduced to the X-Men.

Praying to the LEGO gods for all minifigures for all characters that have not had the LEGO treatment yet!

[Lego Nostalgia]

There's still more Cast Members to be announced via Marvel, hoping for Tom Holland, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Charlie Cox, Elizabeth Olsen, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Scarlet Johansson, Jon Bernthal even though I doubt the Punisher would fit well in an Avengers movie but he has in the comics so, Wesley Snipes, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield

X-Men are the only thing that can revive interest in the MCU

These 2 movies are heavily relying on OG characters from 2000's

It's my dream to see Tobey,Hugh,Ryan,Chris,Robert interact with eachother as their characters, throw in Nic Cage Ghost Rider,Ben Affleck Daredevil, Thomas Jane Punisher and Wesley Snipes Blade and Eric Bana Hulk, you got all the OG's together like a early 2000's Avengers team

And I'm 99% sure that dream will become a reality, Secret Wars is basically a Cameo fest

I imagine it'll be like the Portal Scene from Endgame but with all these cameos from past movies

and you know what that means guys, AVENGERS SECRET WARS FINAL BATTLE DIORAMA SETS FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS WITH ONLY 1 OR 2 NEW CHARACTERS IN THE NEXT SET

And even then there'll be a character left out xD (looking at you Ronin)

Same here. I'm not invested in Tom's Peter Parker at all. Easily the weakest of the three Spider-Mans. Don't care for his friends, particularly the personality-less Michelle Jones who always looks like she's just woken up. Strange was treated like a joke in order to prop up Tom's Spidey. I don't think a film like No Way Home will age well. That box office success was entirely built on the nostalgia of seeing the characters from the original movies again, but there's only so many times you can keep doing that. NWH also had the advantage that it had a relatively small cast of characters so it can give enough time to all three Spider-Mans.

Just from Doomsday alone, we've got a cast full of Thunderbolts, the FF, the new "Avengers" characters, Doom, plus all these cameo X-Men. Infinity War was able to grapple a huge cast but most of those characters we had regularly seen for years, usually within the last year or two. Right now we haven't seen most of the core MCU characters for years so there's a lot of catching up on. Only the Thunderbolts and FF will be fresh. The movie also has to establish Doom as a new big bad from scratch whereas Thanos at least existed in the MCU before Infinity War. The X-Men characters will probably be no more than the cameos we see in Deadpool & Wolverine or MoM. Just mindless fanservice for the heck of it because the MCU is in dire straits right now and thinks doubling down on fanservice will save it.

I think to see all those characters back, fans won't be satisfied with just a few seconds of cameos or a battle scene with them all grouped together. The Flash did something similar where we got brief glimpses of different actors and it was heavily lambasted because it was just blatant fanservice with no substance or any genuine screentime. So I personally wouldn't want a cameo fest where we only get a few seconds of Wesley Snipes as Blade fighting alongside Ben Affleck's Daredevil, just to claim that both were in the movie after all.

Apparently Photon was supposed to lead to a spinoff with the X-Men universe but the failure of the character plus The Marvels seems to indicate that's no longer the case. I would be shocked if we see her back or in anything larger than establishing the X-Men. The MCU was heavily hinging the future of the franchise on Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Photon, and Falcon as the new Cap but it's clear that none of these characters can lead a franchise. Brie Larson apparently is done with Marvel and wants to be written out. Ms. Marvel I've heard is being relegated to Disney+ shows now instead of any movies. Falcon definitely won't be leading the Avengers anymore. Photon doesn't even have the name recognition the other three have to warrant bringing back.

Elizabeth Olsen did claim she's not coming back to the MCU anytime soon, although we know the actors are told to lie about reprisals. I think the cast is currently filming in London and she clarified that she won't be sticking around in London to film anything Marvel related as she's got a new project. I might believe her in this case because I know she was upset about the treatment of her character. Famke Janssen also said she wasn't going to be in Deadpool & Wolverine, which many people assumed was the typical coached lines all the Marvel actors say because leaks indicated Jean was in the movie, but that turned out to be true as well.

The fact that they even had the thought of Captain Marvel,Falcon,Ms Marvel to lead the MCU is beyond stupid, Spider-man,Black Panther, Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch would have been the best option but of course we're stuck with these less popular, boring characters from Phase 4 and beyond, I think they done Anthony Mackie dirty, I loved him as Falcon and they gave him bad lines in FATWS and made him the lead of a movie he couldn't carry

He's a pretty good actor too

Big mistake killing of Tony and Steve

They should have waited until they got all the characters back and into the story like X-Men,Punisher,Daredevil,Moon Knight, Blade, Deadpool

In the comics everyone runs into eachother all the time, Imagine Punisher meeting Steve in the MCU, Punisher looks up to Cap and wouldn't fight him

I meant moreso his character arc where he finally matures, loses a parental figure, gets a much more firsthand experience with why he shouldn't kill, and by the end of it is finally full-on Spider-Man. He goes from a kid who's biggest concern is his friends getting into college at the start to, well, Spider-Man at the end.

They've done enough Multiversal stuff already I really hope they don't fully throw in the other Spider-Men before Secret Wars.

I also don't want Daredevil and Punisher to be tainted by Doomsday, which is neither tonally something they'd fit well in nor something I have faith will be good. Born Again has been choppy but so far they've done the Punisher very well (allegedly due more to Jon Bernthal than disney, but they gave him a special presentation for it, so I'll give them credit.), and I don't need to see him giving Victor 5 big dooms.

Wolverine and Steve meeting would be awesome, Deadpool joking with Tony would be cool too,

I agree that I don't want them to taint Daredevil and the Punisher even though Daredevil was humiliated in She-Hulk, Kingpin became weak in Echo, but if you look at the comics, Daredevil and Punisher interact with the Avengers a lot, if it works in the comics it can work in the MCU

Even to have Punisher and Daredevil fighting side by side for a minute would be enough, just have them there, they deserve it since they're great characters and are apart of the MCU, Black Widow,Hawkeye,Thunderbolts are in it so why can't they

Apparently Punisher might fight the Hulk in Spider-man which I don't know what he could do, maybe hold him off by shooting at him for a second lol

Insiders have said anyway

Also I get it that the Multiverse has been done to death already but it has been done poorly, NWH and Deadpool only done it well, Secret Wars is the only time we need it with all of the 2000s characters

We still need Hugh to meet Tobey

Secret Wars should have happened after NWH, Phase 4 and 5 has been dragged out too long with unimportant boring projects

NWH, GOTG 3 and Deadpool & Wolverine have been the only good movies since Endgame and have brought people in to the cinemas, GOTG 3 done well only after it got good word of mouth around

Disney + shows have hurt the MCU badly, same with Star Wars, I think if only NWH, GOTG 3 and Deadpool released after Endgame then the MCU wouldn't have declined as it did

No one cares about Superhero movies anymore, people are burnt out, mostly because of poor writing and they're bad and disrespect the characters, Brave New World only made 400M, Thunderbolts might make the same, F4 has to win big 

And Superman will decide the fate of DC and WB

Shame that this has happened but at least we still have the older movies I guess

Toy merch is down in sales too, overstocked overproduced trash, there's still BP 2, The Marvels, Shang Chi toys still on shelves, shows that these characters are not popular at all

Only the OG's will sell well and rightfully so, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Batman, Wolverine, Spider-Man will always sell no matter what

Lego Star Wars is overproduced and overstocked too, and on sale sometimes, I remember when it was hard to find the set you wanted because it was always selling out, not anymore, I could wait 5 months and it would still be in stock

But anyway I'm going off track of Lego here lol

I am desperately waiting for new Marvel set updates

Need Figure lists and set details updates

I'm more excited for the LEGO potential of the characters that the film.... but even then it's not necessarily likely to get them, or they will be in some $130 battle set on a grey base with a tree given how lackluster the art direction and locations tend to be in the Russo Marvel films especially.

Considering Tom Hiddleston is confirmed to return, your joke about a tree might not be too far off...

The X-Men characters will probably be no more than the cameos we see in Deadpool & Wolverine or MoM. Just mindless fanservice for the heck of it because the MCU is in dire straits right now and thinks doubling down on fanservice will save it.

Other than the one particular Wolverine variant, all the Deadpool and Wolverine 'cameos' were actually characters with like 5 minute screen times. Channing Tatum in Bullet Train is a cameo, Channing Tatum in DP&W has many questionable/incomprehensible speaking lines and action sequences. Don't mean to be pedantic, but I see a lot of people misuse the word "cameo" in this day and age

Plus the fact the X-Men got announced has to mean they have story significance. Even if they don't have a lot of screen time, which would be difficult with many other characters and a main villain we've not been introduced to yet, they wouldn't have announced them

The Flash did something similar where we got brief glimpses of different actors and it was heavily lambasted because it was just blatant fanservice with no substance or any genuine screentime

That scene probably got a lot more hate for the fact the cameos were all terribly CGI (like a lot of that film) and dug up Adam West and Christopher Reeve to provide this "fan service"

Say what you will about the DC CW shows, but Crisis on Infinite Earths actually managed to pull off some great multiversal fan service, so many actors from film and television history coming in to film new scenes, not just all recycled footage and deepfakes

Apparently Photon was supposed to lead to a spinoff with the X-Men universe but the failure of the character plus The Marvels seems to indicate that's no longer the case

Falcon definitely won't be leading the Avengers anymore

I doubt that would've happened regardless of The Marvels' box office numbers, until halfway through 2023 (before the strikes) Avengers 5 was only 2 years away and we knew the line up of films releasing prior. Unless bringing back the X-Men wasn't going to be touched upon in Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars before they had to rewrite the two 

 

Why wouldn't Sam be leading the Avengers though? NWH didn't do massive numbers at the box office, but that's hardly much of a reason for Captain America not to be leading the team. Plus the MCU is such a wide mess of properties right now that there's probably no one better to lead them

Also I firmly believe this is not the full cast, and Wolverine, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Photon, War Machine, and more will appear.  Surely Photon is in an X-Men universe from the post-credits of The Marvels,  and this is how the main universe is introduced to the X-Men.

If Scarlet Witch is coming back they probably won't announce it. That will end up a surprise for the film. War Machine, sadly very unlikely given the characters last appearance. I'm surprised Photon wasn't there, especially since Kelsey Grammar was named before the rest of the X-Men cast, which makes sense with The Marvels' post credits

Doomsday announcements are exciting and all, especially to predict how much LEGO will skip out in the sets, but in a couple months time we'll have our first ever Fantastic Four set. I just wanna know what type of build Galactus will be, hoping for upscaled mini figure (2016 Giant Man) style, praying it's not one of the big action figure types
