If this was one of the previous recent years for Lego Marvel, I would make some snarky comment how printing some lines on a black torso would absolutely bankrupt the theme’s budget. But this has been such a good year that I can’t even say that.

Yeah agreed, he’s been featured prominently in one of the trailers and everyone with a pulse knows how popular Cyclops is. I’d be surprised if he isn’t in one of the other sets.

Shame he’s not in the Sentinel set though, only because the display-oriented nature of the Epic Moments sets means we’ll miss out on a sick build of Cyclops unleashing his optic blasts.

Yeah, they've been doing really well recently. 

Unfortunately it seems we're now down to one option, being the New Avengers Tower. And at this point I'm worried that we won't even get the full Thunderbolts lineup in that one.

That would be really cool looking, though tricky to pull off. Right now I just have my cyclops holding a lightsaber blade up to his eyes so it looks like he's touching the dial on the visor and firing- getting that sort of no-hands, wide-range blast would be tricky without just having it attach to a back neck bracket or terrain, which might look a bit janky from angles besides the intended one.

WHAT.

It doesn't NECCESARILY mean it's a doomsday set, but if it is, that's MASSIVE spoilers. Probably would be the biggest spoiler lego's ever done, I can't believe marvel would even have told them about that. Most of the more concrete leaks have been claiming

Spoiler

Doom has a sort of council or inner circle of similarly cloaked and masked figures that don't play much of a role in the film and aren't revealed until the end to be alternate universe avengers.

Which lines up with one of the sets we know is coming later, but not the set that just leaked at all.

Huh. I’ve been avoiding Doomsday spoilers so far, so I didn’t expect *this* to show up, much less in a LEGO set! That must mean it’ll be featured in the marketing to some degree.

Yeah I don't think any credible leaks have mentioned that at all. Part of me thinks it won't actually be a doomsday set given the (IIRC) different release date. I can't believe marvel would give lego concept art of something like that and we wouldn't have seen it in the leaks at all- though it'll be interesting to see which leakers immediately "leak" this info for the movie. (My favorite one of those being that after that Australian theatre chain did some marketing around their Vmax system in spider-man trailers and one leaker evidently misunderstood the trailers and immediately started "leaking" a bunch of info about the role Vmax plays in the movie.)

 

All that to say, I am really, really hoping this is a mistake from someone seeing a black-and-red cap suit and thinking "evil cap", and it's really a confirmation that we're getting John Walker, helmet and all. This just seems like a crazy thing for marvel to have told lego about if true, and "the new avengers have a quinjet" is a much more reasonable piece of info for them to give lego- or for lego to just make up to add a build to a set.

Unibricks distinguishes in his YouTube video between the $110 "New Avengerz Tower" set and the name of the $100 vehicle set. He also claims there will be more Minifigures than that one spoiler character; he just only has confirmation of the one. He also says he couldn't believe it when he heard it, and we should hopefully have pictures of the set by the end of the month for SDCC 2026, so perhaps *he* will appear in a potential Avengers trailer.

SPOILERS REFERENCING OLD LEAK

Spoiler

It is possible that the 'Cabal' are adapted as the 'Dark Avengers' similar to how Infinity War changed 'The Cull Obsidian' into the 'Black Order/Children of Thanos'

There was an old leak that mentioned Doctor Doom having a multiversal team assisting him including Superior Iron Man, Hydra Captain America, Maestro Hulk and King Thanos.

In January 2025 it was reported that Chris Evans would be returning to play multiple rules in Avengers Doomsday/Secret Wars and in November 2025 it was rumoured he would play 'Nomad', 'Captain Hydra' and the main MCU Captain America (Though not clarified from which point in timeline)

[hvader]

I think

Spoiler

In the comics I’m pretty sure Hydra Cap has a green costume, and the black and red costume is just a fan art design?

Spoiler

So Doom has at least 2 masks in the movie based on the bust minifig leak

How much of this movie is Lego gonna spoil?

I guess it would make a heck of a final trailer shot, especially since they've already used up the X-men shock factor in earlier announcements/trailers and there's no way they officially show off the opening scene cameos at this point.

It's possible, but it seemed like the leakers had all started moving away from that notion towards the leaks we've been seeing in the past few months. I believe the first of the two leaks you mentioned was pretty shaky to begin with.

I'll still wait until we see, but I personally hope

The r/legoleak mods are right for once and, as they say, "I have a feeling unibricks has a source unfamiliar with the mcu and mixed up hydra cap with US Agent and it’s really just a New Avengers Quinjet"

That's correct- I mean, technically speaking

Spoiler

for a fair bit of it he's in the normal stars and stripes IIRC.

But if you are someone who isn't very familiar with the MCU, and you saw a black and red captain america, I could see someone thinking "evil captain america -> Hydra captain america". The fact that this leaker apparently didn't see or was unable to name any other figures could also tie into that.

It's a very slight difference, isn't it? I think there's a fairly good chance that it was just a prototype that was later changed.

I think there’s a high chance that the Hydra Cap is real. I think people who believe the leaker confused Hydra Cap and US Agent are those who think Hydra Cap’s costume is black and red, when that’s just a fan art

If this rumour fully pans out (as in there aren’t any misconceptions or misreadings), this is one for the books

Going from having to make things up for Endgame to spoiling a plot point for Doomsday that nobody had on their radar is hilarious. This is way bigger than the Giant-Man leak from CA:CW!

Spoiler

The thrust of that argument is that the lego leaker is someone unfamiliar with the MCU- and someone who wouldn't know what Hydra Cap actually looks like- and therefore upon seeing a black and red captain america just goes "oh, evil cap -> hydra cap". The idea floated by people including the one legoleaks mod, who if I remember right does typically have some more info than what's actually posted, is that the leaker is someone unfamiliar with the less popular parts of marvel, saw a black and red cap, and just assumed that was the "evil" color scheme.

Does that make an assumption? Yes. But I think it's more likely than marvel producing a set for something that would be a massive spoiler for the movie, wasn't in any of the leaked concept art, and doesn't appear to be coming from any other merch companies. My guess is lego's sets will align more with what we've seen in the trailers so far and what was in that giant costume leak, as the former would imply they're comfortable sharing pictures of those scenes/characters and the latter always seemed like a costume package that was meant to be sent to companies like lego for merch.

Which is part of why I think either it's not a doomsday set or they're getting the character and build confused. This would be such a gargantuan leak for the movie and I just can't see marvel giving lego that information.

Notice too that Doomsday isn't bringing back any of the rebooted characters from First Class.

I hope that's because they plan to bring back Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy as Erik and Charles in the soft-reboot post-Secret Wars. (At the very least, Fassbender deserves to be brought back, since he managed to make each X-Recast film worth the watch. Although I just read something about him taking a step back from Hollywood, so maybe that's not possible anymore.) I thought the rest of the cast were too juvenile in talent.

I've never seen the original X-Trilogy, and honestly I'm a bit unsure about ever seeing them. I did work my way through the four X-Recasts; didn't like First Class, absolutely loved Days of Future Past, hated Apocalypse, and thought Dark Phoenix was pretty decent but incomplete. (Two hot takes sandwiching two cold ones, lol.) All I'd want to see from LEGO FoX-Men is a set of the DoFP Sentinel with Magneto and Hugh Jackman.

Given the recent rumor, though, it seems I've spoken too late.

I love the concept of the Sentinel set! I can't imagine the sentinel itself will be sizeable, given the extra builds said to be included. Perhaps it'll be akin to the X-Mansion build, just with a muted colour palette?
As for the minifigs, I expect Doom will be roughly the same as the Bust since the costs are shared there. Mr. Fantastic will have a new torso, likely no leg printing. Magneto doesn't need leg printing from the leaks I've seen, and the mold for his helmet is there if Erik even uses it in the movie. Likewise Thor won't need leg prints (and even if he did, we know he won't). Mystique's design might call for leg prints, given the blue on her collarbone and sides would need balancing out, and hair-wise I could see the live action Bo-Katan piece being reused. No clue about Nightcrawler—I think I saw a design with plain black trousers, but maybe not. They might use the Dreamzzz hair for him given how much volume it seems to have.

More than anything, I'm glad that TLG seems to have taken the complaint with Galactus's price and, while choosing to not lower it, have decided to package more characters (that aren't exclusively reprints) into the set and even gone as far as to build out the scene for them. I hope the set lives up to my expectations.

 

A Dark Avengers Quinjet? Count me interested, most interested. I do presume it's a New Avengers quinjet… although I hope it's not in place of a New Avengers tower. Regardless, I'm really excited about Thunderbolts* sets at last. I hope the Quinjet is an enough intriguing design to complement the '23 model I have on my shelf. New Avengers or Dark Avengers, I await news of the full minifig lineup.

In discussion about the leaked character

Spoiler

One thing to kind in mind is that Endgame leaks also claimed Hydra Cap was in the movie. Because of the scene where the two Caps fight plus Steve saying Hail Hydra to cover up his identity with the Hydra agents. So it could still be a mistake and not accurate to the final movie. That being said, there's been a lot of leaks about Avengers characters working with Doom, Doctor Strange being one such example. And I think Marvel knows Hydra Cap is popular so I can see them doubling down on it in a movie dedicated to fanservice.

I think we're getting a full reboot of the X-Men cast, although there are some alleged leaks that Hugh Jackman will be the only one sticking around as Wolverine and won't be recast. I don't see Fassbender and McAvoy coming back because while they were the two most popular parts of the rebooted cast, they never stuck around into the public consciousness the way Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart did. Plus Feige had no involvement with the First Class reboot so I don't see him having any interest in bringing anything from those movies back. The Evan Peters appearance in WandaVision was likely it and even that turned out to be a red herring. 
 

Your views on the 4 reboot movies are pretty close to what general audiences think, outside of you liking Dark Phoenix. If out of those 4 movies, the only one you really enjoyed was DOFP, then I do think you'd like the original X-Men trilogy if you ever watched them. DOFP is closest in tone to those movies (particularly X2: X-Men United). Since it seems like you liked Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, he's the lead in all those trilogy movies just like he's the lead of DOFP. I don't think it's a coincidence that the rest of the X-Men reboot movies struggled without him. Also for Doomsday, it would be worth watching the trilogy just to get to know those characters beforehand. The ending of DOFP will also hit harder when you've spent more time with the original cast and get to see them get their happy ending (before Doomsday probably destroys that lol). I don't know if you've heard of the Rogue cut, but it's a DOFP extended edition featuring scenes with Rogue from the original trilogy. She's a major character there, particularly in her connection to Wolverine, so if you ever watch the original trilogy, I'd recommend following it up with The Wolverine (2013) as it's a direct sequel to the trilogy (features Wolverine's grief over Jean Grey's death and then sets up the return of Magneto and Professor X to deal with the Sentinel threat in DOFP), and then watching DOFP: The Rogue Cut. All those extended scenes are set in the future timeline with the original cast so you'd find them of more interest once you became familiar with the original cast.

For the Sentinel set, there are leaks that show what it looks like in Doomsday. The MCU generally uses a more muted color palette like you said, so that's also my guess that it won't directly match the Sentinel we got in the X-Mansion set. The leaks corroborate this but the footage was also somewhat grainy so it's hard to tell. But it wasn't the bright color palette from the comics/X-Mansion set.

Nightcrawler seems to have 

Spoiler

white hair

in Doomsday, for whatever reason. So for the people wondering if he'll be able to match up with the X-Mansion set minifigs, he's going to look completely different. His suit might be more comic accurate in comparison to his X2 look, but it's still very far off from the aesthetics of the comics. In the movies, Nightcrawler also had carvings in his face and body whereas he's got no such facial marks in the comics and he's supposed to furry there. Mystique, similarly, does not have scales in the comics.

Most likely. 

I don't believe magneto uses the helmet, I imagine it's in part a symbolic thing because he no longer has to block his mind from Professor X. 

Extremely good news there- I would hesitate to compare the build to galactus given the sentinal is likely much, much smaller, but the number of figures in a $60 set is wonderful to see.

I really, really hope we're getting a new avengers quinjet if for no other reason than that leak would have to confirm helmeted John Walker as opposed to that stupid beret. It would also vastly increase our odds of getting the full team of bolts. Plus it'll be nice to see what their quinjet looks like- I've got an absurd amount of lore built up for them since until very recently it seemed like a second movie was out of the question, and it would be nice to add a definitive quinjet layout to that lore.

Is he? I often see him on lists of the worst plot decisions/twists marvel's made. It's also something marvel noticeably got rid of rather quickly and doesn't really bring back, opposed to many of the other changes around the same era where either the status quo did change or they bring in alternate versions referencing it.

They're definitely more muted, I'd say more like dark purple and silver than dark purple and magenta.

That one should be easy enough to swap, it's the carvings and scales that'll be more of an issue. We might get lucky with Mystique since she's wearing clothes this time around so there's not as much of a need for the scales, but there's no reason for them to remove Nightcrawler's markings aside from wanting comic accuracy.

I've always found it interesting how the helmet thing was popularized by the movies. In the classic (pre-movie) comics, he had telepathic immunity because of his own force of will and strong mind. Strong enough that he could astral project and converse with Xavier on the astral plane in the first few issues of the X-Men from the 60s. The helmet was just purely sartorial, it had no telepathic immunity. Juggernaut had a helmet with telepathic immunity, but that wasn't true for Magneto. The movies decided to invent this idea since it was more streamlined and it became so popularized that it became the norm and set the standard for the comics and all other multimedia. Even rewatching X-Men '97, a show based on the pre-movies 90s TV show and comics, where Magneto's immunity was based on his own natural abilities rather than helmet, I noticed that '97 claimed his helmet was capable of blocking out Xavier's telepathy. It really goes to show how that's taken over.

Mystique still has scales on her face so they would probably pop up there on her head, even if her body is mostly covered. For Nightcrawler, I've always felt Lego should just throw a comic accurate minifigure of him into a Spider-Man set. When Nightcrawler debuted, he had a lot of similar characteristics to Spider-Man since they both could wall-crawl and Nightcrawler also used the "amazing" adjective to be described as. Plus a few years back, Nightcrawler briefly took on the Spider-Man mantle and costume. After Wolverine and Iceman (purely for the Amazing Friends show rather than anything in the comics), Nightcrawler would be the easiest X-Man to shoehorn into a Spider-Man set. Although it's funny because it looks like a certain spoiler character will follow Wolverine in probably being included in a Spider-Man set before any other X-Man.

Huh. A new artbook just revealed that the grey Hulk will NOT appear in BND after all. The rumours and leaks weren’t wrong, it’s just that they scrapped the idea. In that case, the set remains accurate!

[hvader]

Man a set with the Hand Ninjas would be so cool… they look pretty sick from the official Lego version of the BND poster

[Scarilian]

Only about two weeks now till Avengers: Doomsday trailer and set reveals (26th according to Unibricks as previously relayed here) Definitely sounds like a 'wave 1' but I'd hope we get some cool figures from it. 

Edit: We have a 'concept art' Poster for Avengers: Doomsday revealing some characters that are in the movie. I would imagine that these 27 characters are considered the movies 'leads' and would be more or less the selection of characters that will be adapted into Lego sets first so this gives us a rough idea of who we'll get and who we are missing in our first wave of sets:

 Yeah, it's weird we don't have a set with them. I feel like they have army building potential also and are applicable for conflict with Daredevil who they have already given us a comic-inspired version of with the 76178.

Seems weird that Sony still had some marketing on their social media which featured Grey Hulk... though perhaps they were still toying with the Grey Hulk idea right up until they provided trailer slices... or Sony just misleading us like Disney did with Avengers: Infinity War creating moments that don't exist. It's likely Hulk would play the same role in that scene regardless of colour scheme.

NOOO THE BERET IS STICKING AROUND AAAAUGH. Marvel, WHY? (Likely the same reason

Spoiler

Steve is in a t-shirt here and using mjolnir instead of a shield) - they're still trying to push Falcon Cap as THE captain america, instead of doing what the comics did and just letting there be multiple.

That specific thing I mentioned in the spoiler is also something I think fits this movie and phase of the MCU a lot- it's a half-measure, halfheartedly trying to both stick with their initial post-endgame attempts while also bringing in older, more well-liked characters and stories, but not committing to either path.

As for the other designs,

Spoiler

The F4 look goofy here. If they wanted radically different doomsday suits, they should have gone with some of the more tactical designs from the comics or Rivals. Or hey, if you really want to make them pop, do the Red F4. Would also have helped sell the darkness/urgency/"time runs out" of it, like they're in a code red situation.

The random smattering of characters that comprise the (non-new) avengers is also brutal. You've got thor, who's in serious need of cinematic redemption, though I'll admit probably the best costume here. You've got Steve Rogers in a t-shirt. You've got Falcon Cap, who's really struggled, and falcon ll, who's nothing. Ant-Man is in a similar spot as Thor, just with the fact that he was never remotely as popular. Shang-Chi, who I liked but isn't a draw for anyone, and then Shuri/M'baku, who at the end of the day are also not a draw for anyone without T'Challa.

They're hedging their bets heavily- maybe people will come for the shells of Steve and Thor, maybe they'll come because they're nostalgic about the X-men, or they were one of the few who really liked the MCU's F4 or watched Thunderbolts (of which I am the latter's biggest fan). But like I said, it's a bunch of half-measures. Nobody's coming for the story built up over the past 7 years because there wasn't one.

Yeah, it's weird we don't have a set with them. I feel like they have army building potential also and are applicable for conflict with Daredevil who they have already given us a comic-inspired version of with the 76178.

Does anyone think that Daredevil is precisely the reason we're not getting any Hand ninjas? That they're too linked to him and since Lego doesn't want to feature anything with Daredevil, as he's considered too mature, that means that by extension, the Hand ninjas are also off-limits? As of now, it's remarkable how many pivotal characters from BND won't be in any Lego set between Sadie Sink, Punisher, and the Hand ninjas.

NOOO THE BERET IS STICKING AROUND AAAAUGH. Marvel, WHY?

Steve is in a t-shirt here and using mjolnir instead of a shield) - they're still trying to push Falcon Cap as THE captain america, instead of doing what the comics did and just letting there be multiple.

At this point, I kinda root for him to have the beret in the sets just to see your epic meltdown

As much as I’m trying to maintain fairly grounded expectations, I really can’t wait to see the Doomsday wave. Lego Marvel’s output this year has been an astonishing improvement compared to previous years and I hope the Doomsday wave cap off the year on a high note.

The Doom minifigure already makes me feel pretty hyped, they spared no expense with him.

Man a set with the Hand Ninjas would be so cool… they look pretty sick from the official Lego version of the BND poster

I think it would be cool if we got a BND set, Next Summer, with The Hand similar to the Iron Man & Iron Legion vs. Hydra Soldier set from 2024.

If there ends up being more BND sets in the future, I'd hope Ramrod turns up somewhere.

Honestly at the end of the day I wouldn't really blame lego for it given it seems to be his  doomsday. I can suck it up, buy the venom cap helmet and take some nail polish remover to it. This is all on marvel for ruining one of the few good phase 4 designs they've adapted. 

But don't worry, I will absolutely make a post hyperbolically melting down over the minifigure's headpiece if it ends up being a beret, or hyping up lego if it's a helmet.

Same. As much as I'm fighting my hype and lowering my expectations for the movie, I'm freely letting myself be hyped for the sets. The one set we have the full figure list for is one where the literal only character from it I already own is Thor. Even without the Thunderbolts or other characters I'm hoping for like Gambit/Cyclops/Doom's Cabal/(spoiler characters we won't get this wave), I'm still 100% buying at least one set, which is a big improvement from... any set tying in with a new release since NWH.

And come on. Two nice big chances to get the Thunderbolts. One of the two has to pan out.
