Marvel Superheroes 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

Steve and Bucky just simply walked away after incapacitating Tony's armour, that doesn't come across as particularly vengeful. It's not like they left him critically injured, and his suit did still have some semblance of mobility. This is someone who could hack the A/V system of a supermax prison with three presses of his watch, I doubt he was ever in any real danger of being stranded in Siberia, plus he was shown to be carrying a phone prior to his helicopter suit-up.

While Tony's immediate anger in that moment was kind of understandable, I wouldn't hold Bucky accountable for anything he did while brainwashed, and I doubt Marvel does either. One of the goals of his apology tour in the D+ show was to rehabilitate his in-universe public image by creating a clear division between the two personas, although he did also feel a degree of personal guilt since he retained his memories from that time despite not being in control. His role was fairly undercooked though, the main storyline was about Sam coming into the Cap role, and Bucky's subplot was about distancing himself from the Winter Soldier persona, yet the finale's end title card read "Captain America and The Winter Soldier", which really puts into perspective how much of an afterthought Bucky's whole plotline was.

Yeah, exactly. They didn't critically injure Tony, just damaged his suit, and if they really were bloodthirsty and trying to kill him... why stop?

And yes- as much of a mess as TFATWS was, I can't remember it ever trying to imply that Bucky knew what he was doing when he killed people while brainwashed, just that he personally felt guilty (which is understandable) and that he needed to show the public he wasn't a brainwashed assassin (again, understandable).

- Are we supposed to accept the brainwashing as an excuse then, and to think that Bucky really did nothing wrong? I'm asking because Marvel Studios cannot make up their minds on that. Half of TFATWS was Bucky having to apologize and make amends for crimes he'd committed while brainwashed. Why would he have to apologize and make amends if he were blameless? Bottom line is you cannot fault Tony for being angry at his parents' murderer and you cannot fault him for for holding Bucky responsible if Marvel Studios do it, too.

- Also Tony was Steve's teammate who'd saved his megablocks on more than one occasion, and Bucky had been his best friend a looooong time ago but had obviously changed since then. Yet you think Steve was in the right doing what he did? Again, this was not about incapacitating Tony so he couldn't kill Bucky based on possibly faulty or incomplete information (re: the brainwashing) and so they could then talk it over. Tony was already incapacitated! This was about revenge plain and simple. They quite happily would have killed him.

- Again you "assume" that Steve had anything to do with Tony's rescue but there's no indication whatsoever that he had. They could have shown a shot of his seeing the jet, of his calling anyone and saying something as simple as "Get him out", or even a quick convo with Bucky about how Tony surely had a plan in place. (And why would he have? Steve must have noticed that Tony was extremely distraught, not thinking clearly. That he didn't have a backup since otherwise he'd have deployed it already given the situation. And that he could not rely on others since, you know, his team leader had turned against him.) There is nothing to support your assumptions other than the general feeling of "Cap wouldn't do that". All the evidence on screen shows that, in fact, Cap would do exactly that.

- Add to that the facts that Steve had been extremely (and needlessly) antagonistic towards Tony from their first meeting onward. Also add that Steve was the leader of the Avengers. Also add that Steve is responsible for creating this mess in the first place because he knew that Bucky had murdered the Starks but had deliberately withheld that information from Tony, probably in the futile hope that Tony (the guy with all the tech!) wouldn't find out.

Bottom line: If Steve had acted like the leader of the Avengers that he's supposed to be, and had addressed the issue previously, the entire mess could have been avoided. If Steve had acted like any halfway decent person and teammate (I'm not even going into the "paragon of morality" thing) he'd have stopped at incapacitating Tony but not actually left him to die. He also never apologized for either of these failings. YMMV of course but like I've said this made me lose all respect for Steve.

-For one thing, I don't think it's fair to say, what, that Steve should have let Tony kill Bucky because despite it being very clear in Civil War that he was brainwashed and not in control of himself when he did, a completely different project a half-decade later says something else about whether or not it was Bucky's fault- that's a TFATWS issue, not a Civil War issue- but also, if I'm remembering the show correctly, it was less that he was being forced to make amends and more that he personally still felt guilty. Whether or not he was in control of himself, his body did those things and that's gonna mess him up mentally. It doesn't mean it was his fault, but it can also be true that he wants to make up for when his body was used as a weapon. I also never said I was faulting tony for holding bucky responsible- his reaction was understandable in the moment, just that he started the fight, which is objectively true.

-Yes, steve was absolutely in the right to prevent tony from killing bucky. Again, Tony's reaction was understandable, but Bucky was brainwashed so killing him would not have been justified. I don't care who you think should rank higher on Steve's friendship list, it was the right move for him to prevent Tony from murdering Bucky. And he literally did stop at incapacitating him! If they "quite happily would have killed him", why didn't they kill him? Why'd they leave? They'd just incapacitated Tony's offensive capabilities by damaging the Arc Reactor, it's not like Tony could have stopped them at that point.

-There's also nothing to support the assumption that Tony would have just died there. As @Coryo points out, his suit still had some form of mobility and he had a phone on him. The rest just seems like general Steve hate that isn't really relevant to this assertion that the siberia fight is Steve and Bucky jumping Tony or something.

 

But in the end whatever you personally think about the Siberia fight, I doubt it would prevent lego from making an epic moment set on it at some point down the line.

Another possibility I could see for an Epic Moments set is the final Helicarrier fight from Winter Soldier. They already have 90% of the Winter Soldier figure and the relevant Captain America (well, technically it's not the right Cap since it's the WW2 suit and not the Smithsonian one, but considering Lego doesn't see the difference between the AoU and Civil War suits I doubt they'd be picky here). Chuck in a Falcon and we could have a solid first ever (I may be wrong here) Winter Soldier set!

The format would be great for comic sets as well (though I'm aware how unlikely that is). I'm thinking cover recreations like Amazing Fantasy #15 or Avengers #4. Again, it'd never happen but this subline has promise and I hope Lego's able to keep up with that.

That one would be excellent, and I hope we see it in 2026 or 2027. (We've technically had the winter soldier polybag but I don't know if I'd count that as a "set")

The cover recreations would be difficult. A lot of classic comic covers either have basically no background to make a build for (Avengers #4) or would require forced-perspective building that would be tough to pull off in the "black base with builds extending from it" epic moment format (Amazing Fantasy #15). Believe me, I'd love more comic sets, but I don't think cover recreations would work super well in the epic moment format.

God. Doomsday is going to be even more of a creatively bankrupt cash grab than we originally thought. Isn’t it?

I've become comfortable with the idea that at least it may eventually result in some cool figures, but yeah... the movie is almost certainly going to be the worst Avengers movie.

Hopefully the budget is more focused on the Epic Moments collection and Spider-Man BND this year.

I don't know. If it is what the marketing leaks suggest it's going to be marketed as... it'll at least be better than the earlier rounds of leaks and fix how endgame makes no sense if you think about it. Still won't be anything all that good, but at least the characters it's about are ones people care about. (Their best option was still a movie where the Samvengers go to fight doom and all lose/die and then the Thunderbolts have to defend earth, but obviously my fondness for the Thunderbolts is not shared by the general audience.)

I guess that depends on what your original expectations were. Personally, it’s shaping up to be exactly the level of creatively bankrupt cash grab I originally expected , but maybe I’m just too pessimistic .

The only thing I’m interested in is seeing the original X-Men cast back again, but in comic accurate costumes. And I guess RDJ’s Dr Doom, but that’s more of a “could this actually be good?” type of interest and not a “this is gonna be the greatest thing ever!” type.

[Sinistereo]

since we are almost in 2026, when could we see leaked info about the Spider-Man Brand New Day Sets? I assume they'd be on shelves in May.

And I'm assuming they exist to begin with because of course they do lmao

If we're looking at recent tentpole MCU tie ins, we'd at best get BND-agnostic sets in May and then maybe real ones in November or January of '27. The same is probably true for Doomsday; it'll probably be '27 or later when we finally get "Multiverse Saga" theme sets that call back to Doomsday, but maybe not until after Secret Wars.

Hasbro has gotten spoilery character listings for their Marvel Legends line, so I think it is safe to say lego does too. There is one set that I think is guaranteed if you've seen the behind the scenes photos/toy listings (Don't want to spoil it for those who don't wish to know yet) But I have high hopes of decent sets for BND

That's a bit pessimistic. I doubt BND will have the same level of spoiler secrecy as NWH, and even that got a direct tie-in before release. There's no doubt in my mind BND will get 1-3 direct tie-ins, especially with how half of the filming we've seen is about some sort of vehicle chase. We might not get the one character that's driving all the leakers crazy because no one can tell who the actress is playing (How funny would it be if it's some generic civilian or government official?), but I'm sure at the very least we'll see something like:

Spoiler

"Tank Chase" ($37.99): That big tank thing with Spider-Man, Punisher, and 1-2 antagonists (Scorpion? Boomerang?)

"Hulk Rampage" ($54.99): some generic build with Hulk, Spider-man, and 1-2 other characters (Mr. Negative? Is he even in this movie, I don't remember.)

And of course even when lego had basically only the quantum suit design and nothing else, they still made a full wave of sets. The MCU may have declined since then, but this is still an Avengers movie. I'm confident it'll still get a wave.

those 2 set ideas of yours are literally best case scenario,  and pretty much what I predict we will get, if not both then definitely one of those sets

[doclord]

I think BNDs standout figures will be Spidey, Punisher and Scorpion. Regardless of who the redhead is she is wearing civvie clothes so she will probably be a lazy kitbash.

Doomsday standout figures will be Doom, Sentry and certain mutants.

[psqidexslizer]

List for June is up in the usual place. 3 regular sets, one that’s probably D2C given the 3000+ piece count. Possibly a modular.

I wonder if all 3 are Spider-Man Brand New Day. Surely one of them is atleast 

[Sinistereo]

I noticed some set numbers are skipped. 76347 and 76348. If these 3 initial regular sets aren't BND then maybe those 2 missing hypothetical sets are instead. Unless skipping set numbers for a particular wave is normal, in which case I just have a tinfoil hat on 🤪

OSCORP, MY BELOVED.

We're in the endgame now. Kaine, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Luna Snow. Kaine, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Luna Snow.

If she's included at all- Sony's being so secretive about her inclusion that I don't know if lego would be given access to that information.

It would be nice, but lego skips set numbers very frequently

According to JediJACPenguin’s website, 76347 and 76348 are April 2026 sets.

I think there's a decent chance that if this year's superhero modular is Marvel, it will be the MCU Avengers Compound to coincide with Doomsday (which seems to be tied very close to the events of Avengers Endgame). 

Do I want that? No.

There isn’t any other Endgame final battle set (that we know of) and we are required to get at least one per year. I could see this happening, tbh.

I just can't see it happening while the Avengers Tower D2C is on shelves. Plus, the compound won't be any less relevant for Secret Wars.

[Toast]

I hope 76354 isn't this years modular just because the piece count is too low for a decent sized building.  If so we have another X-Mansion on our hands.  Hopefully the modular will be a 2HY set like the previous few years.

Hmm technically an April release for a movie based sets isn't unheard of. Maybe that's the BND set

[Scarilian]

Here is all the Superhero sets we know of for April/June, for release dates I've went with JediJACPenguin's list but obviously some could be switched to June.

April:

• 76345 - 18+ 
• 76347 - 9+
• 76348 - 9+
• 76354 - 18+ (3057 pieces)

June:

• 11209 - 4+
• 11211 - 4+ 
• 76346 - 12+ (813 pieces)
• 76349 - 7+ (367 pieces)
• 76350 - 8+ (534 pieces)

Thoughts:

• As applicable to most the list above, these could be DC or Marvel
• 9+ has been used for both the 'Epic Battle' sets so it's possible that 76347 and 76348 are 'Epic Battle' collection sets, the only other 9+ rated sets recently are the Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock Subway Train Scene & Fantastic Four vs. Galactus Construction Figure.
• 7+ sets we've had so far this year are almost all comic-inspired except for Iron Man & War Machine vs. Hammer Drones.
• 4+ sets normally denote the Spider-man & His Amazing Friends style sets or the junior focused stuff.

If Spider-man: Brand New Day sets are happening they would likely be in either the June or August wave of sets. 76350 and 76346 would be my expectations if they are in the June wave, the inclusion of Punisher could be what has required the 12+ rating on the larger set.

Would'nt be so sure about Punisher, could easily be just a torso print.

I'd imagine the initial wave would be two sets with the figure list being:

• Spider-man
• Sadie Sink's character
• Punisher
• Hand Ninja's
• Tombstone
• Scorpion
• Bruce Banner &/OR Hulk
