But I wouldn’t be surprised is the back half of the year is entirely devoted to Brand New Day, Doomsday, and more legacy sets unfortunately. I wouldn't be surprised if we got a Doomsday X-jet, but I WOULD be surprised if we got a second X-men '97 X jet so soon. They don't have a ton of vehicles or set potential but that would be a bit shocking. You'd at the very least expect a Wolvmobile or Mechneto before they remake the same version of the X-jet, especially if it didn't do well enough to warrant an extended shelf life (at least anecdotally, I was routinely seeing it for $55 around a year in, so I would hazard a guess that it didn't do super well). I think in general the vast majority of the set coverage we'll see for 2HY is going to be based on the upcoming MCU movies, since it's probably the two biggest MCU films they've been able to make sets for since NWH. (And unlike NWH, it seems like they're actually being given some set potential to work with here instead of a single frame of Dr. Strange's garage and a blurry photo of the inside-out suit.) Given how good 1HY 2026 is, hopefully we get a few more EMC or comic spider-man sets in August, but I wouldn't count on anything like X-men '97. They don't seem very confident in anyone not named Wolverine, and with a number of X-men being publicly announced for Doomsday I assume they'd see it as a better option to make those versions of the characters in doomsday sets instead of comic/'97 ones.

Spoiler Sentinels coming in a Lego set will definitely be Doomsday-themed. I wouldn't expect an X-Men '97 Sentinel set anytime soon if ever. By the time any potential Doomsday set with Sentinels retired, X-Men '97 will probably be over or not popular enough to sustain more merch. People have been suggesting that sales for the X-Jet and X-Mansion have been pretty soft due to being overpriced and the lack of minifig quality. I think the X-Jet was even marked down a few times so that makes me think there's no real incentive for Lego to keep making more X-Men sets if that's true. Especially since someone posted here or in the leaks thread about how Lego was waiting to see the profitability of the current X-Men sets before bothering to make more. The MCU has two of the biggest releases so all Marvel sets in 2026 will likely focus on Spider-Man and Avengers like you said. I wouldn't expect anything X-Men related outside of Doomsday minifigs. There's no more Marvel CMF series based on the Disney+ shows so that also makes it unlikely we'll get any more X-Men '97 minifigures. 19 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said: I don't mind it, partially because it's not going to be accurate to anything anyway since it's another spider-man car, but it's at least a nice lore connection since spidey normally wears gold-in comics and movies both- when associated/sponsored by Iron Man or more recently Norman Osborn, which is the only time he'd have resources to be rolling around in a sports car instead of taking the subway. In a way, although luckily Mysterio and Rhino are both new exclusive figs. Yeah, I don't think they're generally looking much at new comics for comic minifigures. Aside from Nu-ultimate goblin, I can't remember the last time we got a minifigure based off a comic design that was only a few years old at the time. Turtle's dramatic entrance to the thread with that oscorp link made me realize Kraven has Dr. Strange's head, which is laughable. That entire $140 set has four new prints. Compare that to the bugle, which has almost as many pieces, is $40 cheaper, and while it has one less minifigure, has nine new prints. (Mysterio head/torso/legs, rhino torso, venom cap helmet/head/torso/legs, miles torso) That makes sense although as someone who doesn't care for the Iron Man/Spider-Man connection that the MCU really focuses on, it's probably why I don't care for the gold detailing on Spider-Man and his paraphernalia. Yes, thankfully! If we do get a Spider-Man modular set next year, I'd expect one or both to reappear, particularly Mysterio. Ultimate Goblin shocked me because it was so unexpected. I think Lego made a rare exception here just because of how critically acclaimed and commercially successful the new Ultimate Spider-Man series was, even selling better than the main ASM title for almost a full year. I can see Marvel pushing for this minifigure for that reason, but no other new title or costume design will probably get that level of hype. Kraven reusing Dr. Strange's head got a lot of criticism. I use Whiplash's head for Kraven. Quote
calebcold3 Posted Tuesday at 12:45 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:45 AM There are two 9+ Superhero sets coming out in April 2026 (76347/76348) Since the first 2 Epic Moment sets are 9+ sets, (Spider-Man vs Sandman, Hulkbuster vs The Hulk), can we expect these two 9+ sets coming out in April 2026 to be more Epic Moment sets? If so, what would you want to see as an potential "Epic Moment Collection" set? I feel like the Final Battle with Green Goblin from Spider-Man 1 and the Thanos vs Iron Man Titan Battle from Infinity War would be good choices for those two potential "Epic Moment" sets. Quote

I’m really liking the concept of the Epic moments, so hopefully you’re right. Anything Spider-Man 1 related with goblin would be great, or SM3 with the black suit. I’d love a set based on the ending of Iron Man 3, give us a new Mark 42 then throw in some new suits. Winter solider based so we can get the Stealth suit. I’d absolutely love a Hulk Vs Abomination but I can’t see LEGO giving us any Bigifigs that aren’t Hulk or Thanos, especially not in the same set. It would also be cool to see LEGO do other old movies, like the X-Men or Andrew’s Spider-Man Quote

And Infinity War is well overdue for some legacy sets. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted Tuesday at 02:48 PM Posted Tuesday at 02:48 PM A picture of the Doc Ock vs Spidey mech is out! Not much to write home about, but I do like the new faceprint they have for Doc Ock and the Spidey mech is inspired by Iron Spider, which is something I guessed ^^ Quote

Why do they keep sticking Iron Spider theming on these vehicles? Not even comic Iron Spiderman either, but the MCU version. I’m curious to see what Doc Ock looks like. Seems to be a new minifigure. Also, we’ve now gotten a new Rhino, new Mysterio, and new Doc Ock all within this wave. It does make me curious if we might actually see an Oscorp modular building later next year, like some of us have speculated. edit: Also new Kraven, Hobgoblin, and Green Goblin last summer.

Though Lego kind of shot themselves in the foot here with the disgusting pricing of the X-jet. Even the Mansion had some confusing figure and budgetary choices. Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of it either, but if lego has to pump out spider-cars I at least like the detail that they're referencing the color he uses when he's being helped out by Tony or Norman. I think we 100% see Mysterio, Rhino's not impossible either. So long as the set includes Kaine/Daredevil/Moon Knight/Luna Snow, I'll be happy. I also think it's possible they just wanted a new goblin design and the picture came up when one of the designers was googling it. It's certainly not implied in the pictures to be ultimate goblin, who at least in the first volume is a good guy. If they really did do it because of the comic's popularity, that would be awesome, but I also wonder if we'd have seen more examples in the past. Whiplash's head definitely would work better, and was even already in circulation at the time. 14 hours ago, calebcold3 said: If so, what would you want to see as an potential "Epic Moment Collection" set? I feel like the Final Battle with Green Goblin from Spider-Man 1 and the Thanos vs Iron Man Titan Battle from Infinity War would be good choices for those two potential "Epic Moment" sets. End of the line ($24.99): Helicarrier catwalk and glass floor with Bucky (new head and arm print) and WW2 Cap (from the logo). Pose on the box is the two of them falling from the catwalk using transparent parts. Civil War ($34.99): Bunker entrance with Cap (finally an accurate Civil War suit), Iron Man (re-used from airport battle), and Bucky (Same head as End of the Line but with a new arm print). Pose on the box uses a blast effect for that iconic scene from both the comic and movie of iron man firing a close-range blast that dissipates along Cap's shield in a blinding light. Rhino Rampage ($34.99): Rhino mech with The Amazing Spider-Man (re-use from NWH, but with arm printing), Paul Giamatti, and a police officer or the spider-kid. Pose on the box is the iconic final shot of spidey swinging a manhole cover at Rhino. Race Track Showdown ($44.99): Base includes a cut-in-half racecar. Comes with Tony Stark (racing suit), the MK5 (printed arms), Whiplash MK1, and Happy Hogan (new face print) These we could maybe wait a bit for, but down the line I wouldn't mind: No Way Home ($44.99): Copper Shield with a Goblin Glider that can be held by figures and a small raised section at the back. Comes with (all unmasked but with spare masked heads included) Spider-Man (Integrated suit with new damaged/angry unmasked head), Amazing Spider-Man (re-use from last NWH set), Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (from SM3 final battle set but with new unmasked expression), and Green Goblin (completely new figure with printed legs and a cloth piece). Pose on the box is Tobey holding the glider back to stop Tom from killing Goblin. Versus Thanos (this one we could wait AWHILE for- $54.99): Avengers Compound ruins with Iron man MK85 (2025 suit with printed arms), Thor (finally a new figure), Captain America (Scale Suit), and Thanos. Pose on the box is the opening shot of the fight. And this one's an absolute pipe dream: Versus Venom ($44.99): recreation of the PS5 Spider-Man 2 trailer with Spider-Man (PS5 default suit), Miles Morales (PS5 default), and a new bigfig Venom with interchangeable normal bigfig hands and large tentacle claws. I think everybody's rightly calling for a Spider-Man 1 final battle set. Although for the Titan battle I think I would rather have one of those larger dioramas since there's too many key players to fit in one of these smaller sets. 7 hours ago, DaredevilFan said: Winter solider based so we can get the Stealth suit. I guess this scene uses the WW2 suit and not the stealth suit, but "I'm with you until the end of the line" would make a perfect $25 Epic Moment set. 29 minutes ago, psqidexslizer said: Looks like it’s the same classic Spider-Man minifigure again in the mech, which is unusual.

It does make me curious if we might actually see an Oscorp modular building later next year, like some of us have speculated. Again, it's a little strange, but it's not like these were going to be realistic anyway. At least they throw in the detail of using similar color schemes to when he's sponsored by Stark or Osborn. One more time: Kaine. Daredevil. Moon Knight. Luna Snow. You get that, Lego SEO algorithm? (On a different note I think it's more likely the big exclusives for an Oscorp will be a new Deadpool and Wolverine) I'll say it: It may still be a dumb mech set, but it's by far one of the best dumb mech sets. The spider-man mech is iron spider themed, which actually makes at least a LITTLE sense in the lore. The Doc Ock mech has some excellent arms- though unfortunately they'd require a bit of modification at the base to attach them to the figure- and I LOVE the little detail of including 1x2 plates with that bar attachment on the end in a number of places to have webs hang off. Spider-Man seemingly being a re-use is boring and it should have been an iron spider, and Gwen is a similarly boring choice (though it's cool to get a third figure, I thought it would just be two)- but the new Doc Ock is unexpected and nice to have. Even the Mech sets this wave are a step up from previous versions. I also just realized- the new Miles in the Bugle makes me wonder if that design will be used in the mech as well instead of ATSV Miles, which makes me think we could be getting a new 2099 and not just CMF 2099 with the arm printing and cape removed like I'd initially guessed.

Even as an X-Men fan, I waited months to get both the X-Jet and the X-Mansion because the pricing and lack of quality meant neither were a main priority. And I remember a lot of posts here mentioned skipping out on the X-Jet altogether. The X-Mansion works fine as a standalone set but when you compare it to something like the Natural Museum set, you realize how badly it pales in comparison. I'd rather they stick with the classic colors. Like the Spider-Buggy in the Daily Bugle set which came from the 70s comics. It's more consistent with his overall color scheme. I think Rhino depends if they're willing to include him as just the minifigure without the mech he's in. Mysterio seems very likely especially since I didn't realize he'd been missing from sets for so many years. For them to finally bring him back now, it's likely that was done with the purpose of dropping him in more sets. They changed the face to make him look more villainous. But a heroic Green Goblin in the first Oscorp set we've gotten probably wouldn't have made much sense and would have been way too confusing for most people who don't follow the comics. Honestly, no other Marvel comic has gotten the level of promotion or media attention that USM did so I can see why Lego went out of their way to include a minifigure from that but no other modern Marvel run which will usually end up cancelled within a year. Comics are incredibly niche now and basically just used as a wellspring of more material for the movies. When Disney first bought Marvel, they seriously considered shutting down the comic publications since they're not lucrative enough. Quote

I agree. Especially with how we know Mark Stafford, a frequent superheroes designer, really wants to make more speed champions sets. (He's spoken to this in his own statements once or twice. I wanted to see if the speed champions-esque batmobiles next year are his so I checked brickset- the only one that's got a designer listed is Adam "car builder" Grabowski, but I'm glad I checked because I got to see Mark Stafford's incredible comments about the NWH Dr. Strange Garage set. They're exactly what you'd expect, it's glorious.). And somebody somewhere at the company has an affinity for the mark 5, I assume, because it got a brickheadz out of nowhere. 4 hours ago, JeanGreyForever said: Even as an X-Men fan, I waited months to get both the X-Jet and the X-Mansion because the pricing and lack of quality meant neither were a main priority.

When Disney first bought Marvel, they seriously considered shutting down the comic publications since they're not lucrative enough. Yup. The X-Jet was just a ghastly price- even at over 30% off, it still felt overpriced to me and I ended up just nabbing the Cyclops fig in a bulk secondhand lot. I probably would never have gotten the X-mansion as while I do like the X-men I don't currently have the space, but it would have been more tempting with a better figure selection or if there was more size there for the cost. I agree for the spider-buggy, but my thought process for the others is thus: We know these dumb vehicles sell and lego will continue to make them because young kids love them. Spider-man is notoriously broke- although the "Worldwide" suit sets fit a little better given he was a rich CEO during the arc he wore that suit in, so the vehicles made slightly more sense- I think he even uses a few in the comics. But by throwing on the gold detailing, there's more of a connotation to why he has them, as in the comics his two main rich benefactors- Stark and recently Norman- have added gold coloration to his suit. Stuff like the car doesn't really work overall either way- and I doubt either of us will buy them- but I like it because it shows that the designers are aware that it doesn't make sense, and implies they care and want to at least try to make a visual justification for it. I'm sure they would be OK putting him in without the mech, I honestly think it comes down more to whether or not they want to keep one of the classic villains from the set exclusive to the bugle to try and incentive completionists to get both. Yup, the face on the design is different, and looking at the set you can tell it's supposed to be Norman too, when in the comics it's Harry (with Norman as devil-on-the-shoulder Jarvis). I hope it's a sign that lego's going to be looking to the comics a bit more for inspiration, and the theme is definitely on the upswing, but given I think Nu-Ultimate goblin would be the first-ever time they went out of their way to make a new design from the comics outside of SDCC, I don't put it out of the question that the figure designer was just told to make a new goblin and just chose a random google image result. I suppose if we see Nu-Ultimate spider-man himself or some of the other more unique designs it would answer the question definitively. Quote
Coryo Posted Wednesday at 05:18 AM Posted Wednesday at 05:18 AM It looks like the Epic Battle sets are designed just to be dioramas that fit on that specific circular black base, so there probably wouldn't be too many side builds, play features, or extra characters. The subline seems to suit 1v1 or 1v2 fights much more than larger-scale scenes like the Battle on Titan, which I think should be done in a similar style to the recent AoU Sokovia and CW Airport dioramas. I'd like to see Tony vs. Iron Monger in this style - the last one felt needlessly oversized, and 5-6 years is probably enough time for a remake.

calebcold3 Posted Friday at 05:08 AM Posted Friday at 05:08 AM (edited) I've been thinking about it for a while, but Are we even likely to get a full summer wave next year? We already have 9 January sets, and there are 4 Superhero sets coming out in April 2026 (76345, 76347, 76348, 76354), and 3 (76346, 76349, 76350) coming out in June 2026 (I'm certain 2 of those are Brand New Day sets) DC usually gets 1-2 more sets per year after their big wave of the year (we already got reveals of the biggest DC wave of 2026), so it's safe to assume the April and June 2026 sets are all Marvel. I think Doomsday is going to get 4 sets, and add a potential D2C, that totals LEGO Marvel 2026 (9 January sets + 4 April Sets + 3 June Sets + 4 Potential Doomsday Sets + 1 D2C) as having 21 sets. Usually we get like 21-23 Marvel sets per year, so I don't think there would be any room for a Summer Wave in 2026 like there was for 2025, 2024, and even 2023.

I hope it's a sign that lego's going to be looking to the comics a bit more for inspiration, and the theme is definitely on the upswing, but given I think Nu-Ultimate goblin would be the first-ever time they went out of their way to make a new design from the comics outside of SDCC, I don't put it out of the question that the figure designer was just told to make a new goblin and just chose a random google image result. I suppose if we see Nu-Ultimate spider-man himself or some of the other more unique designs it would answer the question definitively. Completely understand. I did splurge on the X-Jet just to do my part in showing there's a market for X-Men sets but it probably wasn't worth it. And the X-Mansion was completely lacking in terms of minifigs and the size. Which is a pity because the mansion's interior is really well done but it's so undersized and very evident if you put it next to any other set, particularly the modulars. Reminds me of the DC Arkham modular and how people have to buy two of them to combine them to make something more impressive. Honestly, I think you put more thought into the whole thing than the set designers probably ever did lol. But I'd like to think they were more on your wavelength to try and explain why Spider-Man suddenly has so many vehicles and expendable income, hence the gold detailing. That makes sense. Honestly, when I first saw the minifig, I thought it was some original design since the obviously evil face threw me off. An attempt to modernize the Green Goblin since they like to use modernized outfits for their villain minifigs (Doc Ock, Vulture, Kraven, Mysterio, etc.) Didn't realize until later it came from the Ultimate comics. Spider-Man has a black suit in the Ultimate comics (worn by his son) so I wonder if they could get away with the "taboo" on black suit Spider-Man if they technically gave us his son as a minifig since it wouldn't be Peter Parker's Spider-Man. Uncle Ben is alive in the Ultimate comics too which would be a nice way to get a minifig for him, but I don't expect they'll dip into that well again. They seem to pick and choose what Spider-Man media they like to represent between the Insomniac Norman in the same set as Ultimate Green Goblin, along with a whole CMF line dedicated to the Spider-Verse movies. And now the Raimi movies getting their own sets. Quote

But then again my understanding of "epic" is probably different from LEGO's. Edited Friday at 01:12 PM by brickbride Quote
psqidexslizer Posted Friday at 03:13 PM Posted Friday at 03:13 PM (edited) It’s a shame Lego continues to waste sets on Avengers Legacy and Doomsday, instead of giving us sets for the movies we fans really care about 10 hours ago, calebcold3 said: I've been thinking about it for a while, but Are we even likely to get a full summer wave next year? We already have 9 January sets, and there are 4 Superhero sets coming out in April 2026 (76345, 76347, 76348, 76354), and 3 (76346, 76349, 76350) coming out in June 2026 (I'm certain 2 of those are Brand New Day sets) DC usually gets 1-2 more sets per year after their big wave of the year (we already got reveals of the biggest DC wave of 2026), so it's safe to assume the April and June 2026 sets are all Marvel. I think Doomsday is going to get 4 sets, and add a potential D2C, that totals LEGO Marvel 2026 (9 January sets + 4 April Sets + 3 June Sets + 4 Potential Doomsday Sets + 1 D2C) as having 21 sets. Usually we get like 21-23 Marvel sets per year, so I don't think there would be any room for a Summer Wave in 2026 like there was for 2025, 2024, and even 2023. edit: I missed the part about Brand New Day. I doubt Lego is going to leave the summer completely open given that’s when most of their superhero sets seems to drop. I expect we’ll just get more sets than we have the past few years because of new Avengers and Spider-Man sets. Or we just get the Doomsday sets in August and then maybe a Wolverine mech vs Sabertooth mech set to throw the X-Men ‘97 fans a bone. Edited Friday at 03:23 PM by psqidexslizer Quote

This is a good analysis. You might be onto something, but I also think it's fairly possible that for a year with a new spider-man and a new avengers, we just get more sets in general. 4 hours ago, JeanGreyForever said: Completely understand.

I think lego assumed the X-men would be more popular than they were, hence the absurd price of the X-jet, and then when a lot of people who otherwise would have bought it went "$85 is legitimately insane", it ends up looking like X-men sets don't sell. Certainly possible, but it does seem like lego's putting a lot more thought into the wave this year, so I wouldn't totally discount it either. If we ever get the goblin spider-glider we'll know they're doing it on purpose. It would be nice to get the pico-suit or uncle ben, but given lego's avoidance of the symbiote suit and the fact that Uncle Ben is mostly known for being killed, I doubt it. Though we did get George Stacy a decade back, so you never know. With the pico-suit, the issue is that while they've snuck part of the goblin design in, it was clearly an adaptation of it meant for a standard evil norman. I doubt we'd get a Richard Parker minifigure, so it would just be pico-suit spidey, and then we're just back at the symbiote suit again. Insomniac Norman might be a bit of a stretch. I think that may have been more of a case of lego not wanting to make a new design for the hair waves and then using one of their existing red-eyebrow prints with a generic torso print. 2 hours ago, brickbride said: Let me talk about a little set called the Hoopty ... Or even just God Loki, a catwalk, and the Loom. Given the box office of that movie, I don't think we can blame the Hoopty's price alone for the lowered interest in the marvels. Interestingly, Mark Stafford claims on brickset that he put as much value into the set as he could for the budget. Which... I mean obviously it wasn't a reasonable price, but that would imply that lego hiked it up similarly to the X-jet. Lego could easily do hoopty/x-jet style price gouging on this and I'd buy it day one. I'd buy two. I would weep tears of joy in the store as I gazed upon the box art. I don't think we'd see it, unless they start doing 18+ epic moments because there's not really anything in there for kids, but it would be a glorious set. 54 minutes ago, psqidexslizer said: It’s a shame Lego continues to waste sets on Avengers Legacy and Doomsday, instead of giving us sets for the movies we fans really care about Or we just get the Doomsday sets in August and then maybe a Wolverine mech vs Sabertooth mech set to throw the X-Men ‘97 fans a bone. I'm vaguely aware that the recent comics do this as well (with no less than THREE captain americas, one of whom is a new character), but it's always funny to me to see Lego's avengers team just casually has two captain Americas. Brings up the old "Should not every avenger be wearing a vibranium/uru iron man suit with Dr. Strange enchantments?" argument. The bone you will get is that in august they will release Wolverine Car vs Venomized Magneto. Quote

hikouki Posted yesterday at 10:36 PM Posted yesterday at 10:36 PM Just saw FF4: First Steps on Disney+. Loved it! I have always loved Marvel comics, but really found the MCU a bit (a lot) tacky. Anyway, I am dumbfounded that Lego just did one set. They could have also made the Fantasticar and Silver Surfer, etc. Oh well... Quote

I think that may have been more of a case of lego not wanting to make a new design for the hair waves and then using one of their existing red-eyebrow prints with a generic torso print. And honestly speaking, the X-Men brand hasn't been all that strong since the 90s/2000s. Even in the comics, the Avengers started to eclipse the X-Men in popularity years before the MCU and the whole Fox movie rights issues. The only X-Men movie that ever made a billion was Deadpool & Wolverine, which shows that it's these two specific characters who are the moneymakers rather than the team as a whole. Lego assuming anything with an X-Men brand would instantly sell was a mistake. They've made a similar mistake with the FF set. They assumed that because fans have been asking for the FF and Galactus for years, that they could make an overpriced set with barebones figures and little to no accessories, let alone a Fantasticar, and it would be an instant seller. I'd love to see sales figures for that set because I have a strong inkling it's probably also failed to catch on. I had to look that up and I guess that is a real thing now. No wonder Ultimate Spider-Man was selling better than Amazing Spider-Man lol. Uncle Ben would probably be made up of completely reused parts anyway, so his lack of minifig doesn't bother me. Captain Stacy's also mostly known for his death but he did last longer in the comics, and appeared in at least two movies, only dying in one of them (ASM) so I can see why they didn't mind including him. Especially being a police officer, he's easy to integrate in a set. It's pretty telling that we could get Captain Stacy but not his daughter in her classic 616 incarnation to this day. I agree, I doubt we'll ever get Richard Parker. I think Mayday/Spider-Girl could one day get get a minifig and I'm a little surprised we haven't gotten her already. Technically we have her baby form in the Spider-Verse CMF but it's strange that they've never made a proper Spider-Girl minifig considering how popular she was in her prime and how for the longest period, she was the female Marvel character with the longest ongoing solo title. Norman Osborn isn't a redhead though but the Insomniac version is, and the Lego minifig took a hairstyle heavily modeled off his depiction there. He's even got a black striped suit in the game so I think the implication was that they were using that version since he looks nothing like the Raimi version or the comic version. And we've seen how they've pictured the comic version of Norman in the Daily Bugle billboards so there's precedent for what a comic version of Norman could look like in minifigure form. With Spider-Man, Lego seems comfortable drawing from whatever popular sources of media there are, hence why we can get a set with an Ultimate Green Goblin, an Insomniac Norman, while using modern characters like Spider-Gwen and Miles and having a separate CMF series modeled on the Spider-Verse movies. 14 hours ago, psqidexslizer said: I agree, but I also think we’re gonna be stuck waiting until the Mutant Saga (if that really is the next MCU saga) for Lego to really go all in on X-Men. Based on how Lego has been so reluctant to do more than one set for recent MCU releases (or in the case of Thunderbolts, no sets whatsoever), I don't think there's any guarantee that any future X-Men movies will get the star treatment. I'd expect 1-2 sets as tie-ins max, with the main focus still on MCU Avengers movies like Endgame, Civil War, Age of Ultron and the usual Spider-Man sets. 6 hours ago, hikouki said: Just saw FF4: First Steps on Disney+.

Agree with you, was never super fond of the MCU. I think it's possible a Doomsday/Secret Wars set could feature a Fantasticar since I'd imagine it'll show up in one or both of these movies. If we get the real Silver Surfer in Secret Wars, then we might get a chance for a minifig. I don't know if he'll be a priority though based on how many characters are supposed to show up in that movie. Here's hoping. Quote

Universal Studios built an entire theme park land dedicated to Marvel in 1999. There were attractions based on the Hulk, Spider-Man, and Fantastic Four, but no X-Men (They later added a small spinner ride featuring Storm from the X-Men to address criticism that they weren't enough rides without height restrictions).

On the wikipedia page, I initially saw that The Beast (X-Men) will be in that movie. I got excited for which other X-Men will be appearing but it is just the same cast of characters that we have gotten from the X-Mansion. Sigh :( Quote
