Marvel Superheroes 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[psqidexslizer]

This probably just means Doomsday sets will be delayed from March to October, but it’d be nice if Lego could add an X-Men set or two to their spring lineup, since X-Men ‘97 season 2 will probably be releasing sometime next spring.

It’s now releasing on the same day as Dune: Messiah. Is Marvel stupid?! Dune even currently has a better track record among the GA than Marvel.

More likely that Dune: Messiah will move release dates backwards as it is not filming yet and would not want to compete against Avengers: Doomsday.  Reminder that Avengers is a juggernaut of a film franchise and even the lowest grossing Avengers movie easily outperformed the highest Dune movie.  Online forums, Letterboxd, and film twitter may adore Dune - but the truth is general audience loves Marvel and turn out in force for Avengers movies.

There's apparently an untitled Marvel film for July 2027. Unless its a mistake or something changes, we may get sets for Secret Wars and one other film.

Honestly I'm completely bored of the legacy sets. The theme has become too oversaturated with the same MCU characters and builds over and over that there's little to be excited about anymore.

Honestly after the really strong AOU Quinjet coming this summer, the Only potential remaining Infinity Saga Sets that I can think of actually wanting are A Titan IW Battle Set, A Destroyer from Thor 1 (surprised we still haven't gotten this yet), and maybe a GOTG set. 

I do think busts are notwithstanding with your complaint though. I'd love to see an Ant-Man and War Machine bust next year.

There was a rumor we'd get another Fantastic Four set next year (still based off the film, of course). If true, I hope we get a new Human Torch, Silver Surfer, & HERBIE. 

Where did you hear this rumor? I'd love to see what the build is. Maybe the Fantasticar?

I defiantly think one of the Doomsday Sets will be the Fantastic Four Spaceship at the end of a certain recent movie.

Doctor Strange 3 or the Ryan Reynolds X-Force movie that he's writing (if they fast track it) are my guesses.

If it's the Latter, no chance of getting sets since we didn't get any for Deadpool and Wolverine last year. Strange 3, I could see getting a set.

On the BrickTap discord. The user who first leaked the Spider-Verse CMF figures said recently there may be another F4 set next year. He wasn't 100% though.

The only Marvel film I've seen picking up steam for 2027 is X-Men. They have a writer, producer, and soon a director. Maybe we'll get an answer during SDCC. Doctor Strange 3 would be fun though.

The busts are fine. No worries there. Its just the regular playsets that are the issue. We're not getting much variety beyond the same Iron Man Armories and Endgame Final Battle sets. Just about everything from the Avengers films has been comprehensively covered in recent years and there's not much left in the character department to keep things fresh either.
I would welcome more Thor sets though as both the Destroyer and Asgard are pretty glaring omissions.

But this is why I'm in big favor of the Avengers transitioning over to the comics. Heroes like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and Hulk will still be around on shelves. We could get new versions of Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Vision, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, Wasp and Hawkeye that have never been done before. Plus because Lego won't be limited by screen accuracy from the movies we can finally get a wider variety of villains beyond the MCU Loki/Thanos/Ultron trio such as Baron Zemo, Kang, Enchantress, Abomination, Leader, Arnim Zola, High Evolutionary, Mandarin and Dormammu.

My hope for legacy sets lies only in a Iron Man Malibu Mansion and sets focused around movies prior to the MCU. We are still lacking an updated Raimi Green Goblin to replicate the end of the NWH bridge scene and a Spider-man 1 legacy set would work well.

Spider-man 2 Doc Ock Hideout Modular style would be an instant purchases for me, let alone the potential for them to do black-suited Raimi Spider-man. Spider-man 3 construction battle definitely would be a logical choice also.

I'd really like to see more Iron Man suits - but more of the ones which are less common, only to complete the Hall of Armor.

Oh cool! Yeah, I could totally see the Fantasticar from the film being a set from the January 2026 set number list we got a while back. And I agree, I would love to see a "Flamed On!" Torch in that set.

I agree, I also assume you were talking about MCU Legacy sets being the issue, cause I'd love for some more Raimi Sets (especially if we get Black Suit Spider-Man in our first ever Raimi Spider-Man 3), but not for there to be an entire theme when we could and should be getting an even balance of comic sets, busts based on both MCU and Comics, Legacy sets based on movies that rarely get sets, etc.

 I've been thinking for quite sometime that an Malibu Mansion D2C would be perfect for 2028 (the 20th anniversary of the first Iron-Man movie, and the MCU in general, wow I feel old).

BTW did anyone see that apparently a Ghost Rider Variant might be in Doomsday? I assume it will be Danny Ketch as the rumor suggests they are casting the role and I know Feige is going to do everything in his power to get Nick Cage back as Johnny Blaze in Secret Wars.  

But regarding LEGO Talk, I could already see this being the wave of Doomsday sets (I feel like we'll get 4 sets at most) if the Ghost Rider rumor is true:

• A 4+ Set
• Danny Ketch's Bike
• The New Avengers Tower (Similar Modular style to this year's Oscorp)
• The Fantastic Four Spaceship 

[brickbride]

Just read that despite good reviews, Thunderbolts isn't doing so well at the Box Office - not horribly either, more like "with luck it'll break even". How do you think this will reflect on both LEGO and the MCU going forward? Will we get even fewer current (that is, non-legacy) sets since the MCU's clearly past its heyday? Or will Disney/Marvel insist on even more marketing (including merch) in the hopes that this will push the MCU back to its former heights?

Personally I think a lot will depend on Doomsday. With all the returning characters and bringing back RDJ, they're throwing everything they have into this film. If Doomsday doesn't make a significant profit I don't know what else they could realistically try given the MCU's current status. And I don't see how a MCU where the better-performing movies just about break even while the rest incur losses would be sustainable in the long run.

Meh, I can't see it. Why would they waste one out of four slots on the F4 when I assume the Galactus set will still be on the shelves? Those sets would just cannibalize each other. And where are returning fan favourite characters like the X-Men? Or characters the fans have been clamoring for like God of Timelines Loki and Doctor Doom?

If Ghost Rider does appear in Avengers: Doomsday, I predict it would only be a cameo at maximum and not something to create a set from.  I believe that LEGO is going to use characters that are the most marketable and merchandisable, such as Thor, Black Panther, Captain America, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Doctor Doom.  Although I would really love a complete Thunderbolts team in minifgure version, I feel LEGO will rely on the reliable sellers.  Additionally, I predict this will be a full wave of 5 or 6 sets (or even more) since the last three Avengers films got at least 5 in their initial waves.

I agree. I feel less confident that we'll get 5+ sets though.

For Ghost Rider, even if we get him, I assume anyone not mentioned during the cast livestream has either a small role or a secret role (in which case, no minifigure).

I also feel that the characters we get will likely reflect who we've gotten in recent years, so: Avengers (Thor, Cap, Ant-man, Black Panther), F4, and Doom. I think we'll get some X-Men & Thunderbolts, but not many. Maybe Bucky & Yelena for Thunderbolts, and IDK who for X-Men. Probably Magneto & Cyclops.

We had the IW Guardians sets while the GOTG 2 sets from the year prior were still on shelves. 

And for the X-Men and Doom, of course they would appear in the sets, but it's hard to guess which figures will be in which sets given we know little plot info.

I was only making some educated guesses.. or should I say.. educated wishes.

Sure, but the Guardians are very popular while the F4 are as of yet untested. And the Galactus set is way overpriced with none-too-great figs, for a lot of people the main draw is that they see it as their only chance to get the whole team. 

[doclord]

The new Andor head looks very good on Pedro Reed.

Also, with the newest scoop on Spidey 4, we are going to get lots of discussions featuring a certain bigfig.

Yeah, it's unfortunate. I hope it does well on streaming, I think a lot of people just don't have faith in marvel anymore and even with the good reviews, it's just not enough to get people in theatres. I know a few people who want to see it but are waiting for streaming, and more who just saw it last weekend and loved it. I know at the very least I'll watch it another 2-3 times within the first week of it's release on streaming- I'm hoping to watch it a fourth time in theatres before it leaves too.

If doomsday doesn't make money, I honestly think almost everything but secret wars gets cancelled.

This is the second time this has been rumored. 

Spoiler

If it's the real hulk, that's at least something, though I'd love it if Punisher actually did get to show up like in the rumor. If it's still just a big green mark ruffalo, I've lost all hope for the movie. The whole point of NWH was he's supposed to be able to be a hero on his own now and not need his fourth consecutive babysitter.

We will definitely get Xavier. It will be the same one we got in the X-Mansion. 😝

It has to be both. I assume that:

Spoiler

Smart Hulk will befriend him as he goes to college and help him out against the villains. Then one of the villains near the end will successfully "unlock" Savage/"Real" Hulk and Peter and his friends have to stop him as he rampages through New York. I assume something will happen during this to make it different than Brave New World but Spidey vs Hulk feels mandatory with this setup.

 

[calebcold3]

OK so for the upcoming F4 vs Galactus set that I'm getting to display as comic based, after getting feedback from some of you all and thinking about it myself, I'm defiantly using MOS Jor-El's head for Reed. I can't wait to see what It Looks like.

I might keep the head for Sue unless if I come across a better head.

But speaking of Polybag Minifigures, while I originally intended to use Jim Halpert/Peter 3's face for Johnny, it dawned on me that this Rebel A Wing pilot from Star Wars could have a better face for Johnny, and I was wondering what everyone would think:

Now I know some people might be confused about the visor on one side of the head, but to me, I feel like it would make a good head for when Johnny is in midst of being "Flamed On". The figure itself is already in the midst of being flamed on with the accessory pieces. 

But I think the face without the visor already looks pretty good for a comic accurate Johnny. I know @TheBatstan told me how he was going to use the Fortnite head for Johnny and how I should use it, but unfortunately, I don't have one. But I do have a Rebel A Wing Pilot

Yeah, but... then it's just brave new world again. Older ally turns into hulk and goes on a rampage and the hero has to stop them. Like at least if they did the original punisher/hulk plan we heard about, we hadn't heard anything about the "established MCU hero babysits spider man" setup every other MCU spider-movie has had and NWH was supposed to end by making him his own hero. (And we got Punisher.)

I think that works pretty well. 

[calebcold3]

Is the Miles Morales 18+ set coming out in July supposed to be a Mask (like the Spider-Man and Venom 18+ mask sets) or a Bust (like the Iron Man Mark 4)?

I wonder how it would look if you got the trans-orange head of the Ghost Rider and transplanted it to him?

I really wish the Ghost Rider head had it's flame hear removeable without damaging the figure. I'm sure it would look cool.

Hey, I don't have that head either...yet. That's what the magic of Bricklink is for.

And speaking of Johnny, Hasbro just revealed their Marvel Legends Human Torch figure and it's only made me more mad at Lego's pathetic attempt. All we needed was the F4 torso recolored in red as the BARE MINIMUM, but now we have to hope that they listen for the Doomsday sets.
