Marvel Superheroes 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

That's why I don't think they'll be able to do justice to the comic book versions of the characters. Especially based on their previous classic minifigures for Captain America and Thor. The MCU versions are simplified enough.

Thanks for confirming about the Origins set. That would count as an Oscorp set.

There's always been a lot of overlap between Spider-Man and Daredevil, especially in the Ultimate Universe, so I feel this would be the only way to get characters like Kingpin, Elektra, and Bullseye. Since Lego doesn't seem comfortable including Daredevil, Blade, Punisher, or characters like them unless they're essentially snuck into large sets like the Daily Bugle where they can get lost within the large minifigure roster. I'm assuming this could apply to Deadpool as well now. If he's not coming in any X-Men D2C set, then I think Spider-Man would be his only other option. Do you really think Lego would ever make a set on Genosha? Not only is it rather obscure by pop culture standards, but it's also the setting of a genocide. I don't see Lego wanting to make any set that replicates the Sentinels slaughtering mutants on such a large scale.

I mean, that was 2013. Cap would now have his helmet, I don't think it's impossible they'd give thor a new mold, and in both cases they'd have printing over a decade more modern. I think they'd be worthy upgrades even without leg printing or dual molding, and it's not like those are completely impossible- at least SOME characters would get them.

No problem

I agree, I just didn't want to propose a fig lineup where most of the new characters were Daredevil ones because I wanted to try to keep it generally realistic rather than specifically what I'd want (In which case the six would be Dark Red Daredevil, Elektra, Bullseye, comic Moon Knight, and Netflix Daredevil)- though I did slip Moon Knight in there.

I don't think Genosha's impossible. It's got some interesting aesthetic choices and was the main base of the X men for a significant chunk of time. Though the main reason is that we're still missing a TON of major X-men characters and it's not like they'd just do another X-mansion D2C in 5 years. I'm not saying it'll be the next one, just that I could see it happening down the line. As for being a location where the sentinals kill mutants in '97... yeah? We've gotten and are getting more order 66 sets, we've gotten Battle of Wakanda sets despite it also ending in a genocide, we've had crispy anakin, we've had a punisher minifigure, etc. They've been based on Genosha for a pretty significant chunk of time in a few continuities, not to mention that it's not like there haven't been slaughters at the X-mansion.

Considering they didn't give Rogue a new hair mold and just used the generic female hair they love to give almost all Marvel heroines, I don't hold out much hope for Thor. But something similar to the Jane Foster minifig, but without the helmet covering up the face, would be nice.

I can see Daredevil himself being brought back in a future set, especially once the Daily Bugle retires. If not the same identical minifigure, then a new variation. Like you said, dark red, or maybe even in black or his original yellow to distinguish him even more. I don't think Moon Knight would be completely impossible either, even if he's a lot less connected to Spider-Man and his rogues gallery.

When was Genosha a base for the X-Men? I think the best bet for the X-Men would be more regular sets like the X-Jet rather than another D2C. Unless the X-Mansion really is a best-seller, enough to justify more D2C sets, otherwise I feel it might be a one and done. It would probably take a successful film series in the MCU to get more X-Men D2C sets, like an X-Mansion based on the movies or any new locations. I think what distinguishes Genosha from those other sets you've mentioned is that Genosha has a way more unsavory history. Genosha was designed as an apartheid state in the comics where mutants are literally dehumanized by being shaved, bonded to skintight slave suits, tattooed, and stripped of their names to function as slaves. It became repopularized once Magneto took over to establish a mutant nation but most media portrays Genosha as getting destroyed by Sentinels. And there's really not any iconic or specific structure. Like if you Google Genosha, there's no specific building that everyone would think of. Something like Asgard still has some identifiable facade because of the movies, but with Genosha, it's really just an island. Even if it's not considered inappropriate for Lego, I just don't see anything concrete enough to make a set out of except maybe one of the Sentinels themselves. I think a better D2C Sentinel set would be the Mastermold and some regular-sized Sentinels to go with it.

There are other settings like Madripoor and the Savage Land. Madripoor has appeared in the MCU and will also be a major location in the Insomniac Wolverine video game. But even these places don't lend themselves to D2C sets imo. They'd be good set pieces for Wolverine-themed sets, as well as Japan.

Take this with a grain of salt but apparently there is set 76305 that is $60 (from Wakebricks who is 50/50 when it comes to reliability) 

It isn’t specified if it’s for Marvel or DC but if the set is for Marvel, what do we think it could be?

Brick Tap reported back in January that 76306 is a cancelled Marvel set that would have included Thor and two Outriders. Given that Wakebricks is claiming that 76306 and 76305 are Superman movie sets, which we know are not happening (AND he has a history of faking Superman movie 'leaks' in particular) I don't believe for a second that he knows anything at all about 76305.

I'm not sure I'd even go far as saying he's 50/50 on reliability - the things he's posted that have been true are all images that had been circulating anyway, and the rest of his posts are all this fake Superman stuff

Not really. The set gets released in June, so we likely still have to wait a coupla weeks or months even. Sure, some June sets have already been officially revealed, but Marvel usually tends to be among the last themes to get unveiled  My guess would be late April.

With regards to both the 2014 comic Cap and Thor figures, I think it's interesting to note that neither of them were based on the comic designs but on the Avengers Assemble cartoon of the time. Cap is incredibly close to his Ultimate 1610 design, but is missing the scales on the upper torso. Thor looks like he should be the classic design from the blue legs, but the grey arms and gold piping between the chest disks are actually taken from his Heroic Age suit, so why Lego chose to give him blue legs is beyond me. In fact, the closest we've come to official classic design minifigures of both are (checks notes) the Mighty Micros ones?... Huh 

All this is to say that if we did get comic versions today I think they would be radically different with very different choices of source material. We already saw Marvel NOW Cap in the mech set from a couple years back so who knows, maybe a Marvel NOW Thor isn't far off, would certainly be possible to do with the current helmet piece. We might even see an indication of future comic avengers later this year!... if I'm remembering my leaks correctly and there's meant to be a 4+ set with Captain America in it 

If Lego did do full on classic Avengers in minifig form, I'd be curious to see how they handle Cap's head wings, whether they'd be integrated into a similar helmet piece to what we have now or if they'd use a piece like the ears/horns used on Daredevil and Black Panther with a fully printed masked head

[Mister_Loki]

With all the Classic talk it would be very refreshing to see a full line of Classic Comic Book Marvel sets again. When was the last wave of sets primarily based on Comic Books? Feels like all the previous years were 90% just MCU. Would be nice to get some Classic designs for a change, heck I'd take a Marvel Rivals wave just to not get more MCU sets. This feels like a unpopular opinion though.

[poisonbricks]

To be fair, the lack of 'comic' stuff seems to mostly stem from the lack of mainstream Marvel cartoons - as cool as Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man and X-Men '97 are, they have a more limited reach of older shows, which is why I'd bet there's little to no representation in LEGO for them.

If we think about the old 'comic' sets, they're mostly Avengers Assemble and Ultimate Spider-Man sets that just kinda happen to have a lot of comic elements because of how those shows are.

I'd expect it to be basically the same as the MCU cowl, Flash really needs molded bolts on the side of his cowl, but in the (albeit cancelled) set for his movie, they were just printed onto the MCU Cap piece.

I don't know that that's the same thing, approximating Rogue's hair wouldn't be the same is leaving out a helmet for Thor.

Yeah I'm sure they'll want to keep him availible in some way.

I've been thinking of Krakoa, mixed up which mutant island was which, sorry. Which I still think would be a good D2C for the X-men.

The boxart was based on that, but a number of the figure designs are comic-based rather than the MCU-inspired Avengers Assemble suits- for instance, falcon has a cowl instead of a visor, thor's costume is brighter, etc.

Given the sheer amount of repeats these sets seem to be having, what are the chances we get another Mk46 soon? I really want one but can’t justify paying $100 for that airport set…

Just bricklink the figure

Allegedly the script for Doomsday has 

SPOILER

 

 

 

 

 

the Avengers racing Doom for who'll reach Loki's position at the heart of the Multiverse first. So we might still get God of Timelines Loki as a minifig even years after his series has ended.

 

/SPOILER

 

Of course that's very speculative and also subject to change given the timeframe.

 

 

[DaredevilFan]

Something unfortunate to consider for Doomsday and probably more particularly for Secret wars is that Marvel wont want spoilers. So most likely the first wave of sets will be like Endgame and No Way Home, random builds and selection of characters. It probably wont be for a year or 2 after they make more accurate sets with characters

Depends. Endgame was a special case because 90% of the screentime was spoilerific, between the time travel plot and the final battle. I doubt Doomsday and Secret Wars will be quite on that level of secrecy. Sure, there will lots of characters and scenes that can’t be included in the first waves of sets, but I’m sure there’s plenty of spoiler-free material too  They gotta have trailers, after all! The multiverse heavily factoring in is not a secret, for instance.

I don't think it's impossible that they will be- after all for how much of the plot it took up, it's not like time travel needed to be a spoiler (And we got the 3v1 against thanos in the trailer too). I don't think it's impossible that they try to keep the main thrust of the plot secret- if not for doomsday, for secret wars. I also think the multiverse factoring in works against it- lots of different locations, and lego can't be confident on how much screen time each will have.

Another important factor are the decreasing margins tho, so I wouldn’t count on that

When has screentime actually mattered to TLG?  As long as they don’t make up random stuff again, it’ll be fine

Not a chance, Lego isn’t want to lose even a few bucks of their profits so legs prints are a no no for Marvel.

But seriously with this insanely good financial results you’d think Lego would put more effort and quality into Marvel theme.

I figured, that's why I put in so many line breaks just to be safe, give everyone a chance to scroll past it.

Besides, Doomsday won't come out for some time. By then they might have changed the plot to Feige knows what.

There's "It didn't have much screentime" and there's "Lego made a $100 Avengers set off a split second bit from the inevitable "traveling the multiverse" montage"- There's one particular piece of concept art that I'm thinking of that could easily be a split-second bit of a montage.

I thought that was possible I just wanted to make sure on the off-chance since you used the \spoiler at the end

Built the AoU diorama, it's crazy to me how that subline swings between 10/10 sets (NWH Final Battle, AoU diorama) and extremely disappointing sets (Civil War, both the male and female Endgame dioramas). The AoU set is excellent, it's impressive how well they recreated the iconic opening shot. 8 minifigs and a bigfig is also awesome value for $100 when it comes alongside a pretty solid build. The jeep, tower, and bunker help fill out the set and prevent the endgame issue of it just being generic terrain. 

The whiplash is very real, that’s for sure. We get some amazing sets like that diorama, the Milano, Quinjet, etc. but then we also get the unnecessary spider-vehicles, all-round poor ‘battle’ sets, and so on.

In some ways I think that makes this theme all the more frustrating. We know they’re capable of designing good sets, but they either choose not to in certain cases or their hands are ridiculously tied that they’re unable to. The latter doesn’t seem like a valid excuse to me.

The only other reasonable set it could come in would be a Cap / Bucky vs. Iron Man Battle maybe, but then again you can already reenact that using the mini figures from the Airport Battle set so I can’t see it being reused.

Doomsday is releasing within a very different climate to Endgame and No Way Home. The anticipation for Marvel releases isn’t what it used to be and there’s a lot of apprehension around RDJ’s casting as Doom. If anything, I think Marvel Studios have their work cut out for them to build up excitement for the film and I’m sure that’ll extend to their merchandising approach too.

What concerns me more is whether the culture / competence / budget / etc. of this theme will actually allow for a solid Doomsday wave, or if they’ll just half-brick it and call it a day.

I don't want to blame things on specific designers, but part of me does want to look through and see if certain designers are making all the good sets. (Obviously stuff like the mech only designer kind of feels like that's not his fault and lego just assigns him only mechs, but if the same guy's responsible for the AoU diorama, semi-UCS ships, etc, I feel like they should just hand him the keys to the theme)

Exactly. And what's annoying is many of us have come up with waves that would both fit the constraints of the theme (character colorful vehicles, limited budget, etc) while still being better than "spider-man's car" "10 endgame figures standing on some rocks for $100", etc. Make a Wolvmobile and use it to give us Sabertooth, and like, a cheaper Jean or Gambit or something. There are ways to make sets people would like within the constraints. 

I think Marvel is probably going to regard Doomsday as their big chance to right the ship- regardless of whether Thunderbolts and F4 do well or not, Doomsday's the big one- they've got the most to gain and the most to lose. I wouldn't be surprised if they had lego go all-out for the wave- I just hope there's good set material and minifigures of characters I care about, because right now, my Doomsday buy list would be this:

Bricklink Doom (Optional, depends on if the MCU design is good)

Bricklink any Thunderbolts who appear in their normal costumes.

I think yours is the better one overall but I'm deranged enough that I can instinctively read the upside down text which is why I use the white text. Though I wonder if that screws over anyone on dark mode- I assume it doesn't automatically revert colored text to black.
