The one half-based on Infinity War with Iron Man and Spider Man, that was also the smallest modular?

Smallest or not it was still a solo Superhero D2C (yes it included other revelent heroes but it is a Doc Strange set). Asgard would have Hulk and Loki abd they're big names, captain America would make sense too.

You mean as in disguised Loki from the prison scene? That would actually be really funny to include in such a set.

I honestly think it's Oscorp next year (unless we see Arkham instead), but I dunno about Asgard unless we get a really solid Thor 5. I just don't know that Asgard's enough to warrant a D2C, or more specifically, if Thor's enough. One of the big three of the MCU he may be, but he's always been #3 in that triumvirate. I think the only non-spidey hero who could handle a solo D2C is MCU Iron Man with the Malibu Mansion/armory.

I don't see why Thor wouldn't be enough. He's become a huge fan favorite since Ragnarok and Infinity War, Asgard is one of the MCU's most recognizable locations after the Avengers Tower and we've already gotten an 18+ set based on Thor's hammer.

On top of that we've already seen several adult themed sets (D2C or otherwise) based on a variety of different Marvel heroes. Captain America has his shield. Black Panther has a bust. Rocket and Groot each have buildable figures. Star-Lord has his helmet. Wolverine has his claws. The Guardians have two UCS-style ships. And as someone else mentioned Doctor Strange has a modular which despite incorporating elements of Infinity War it is still a set primarily focused on Doctor Strange as the central character first and foremost.

Lego really isn't the nanny state some think they are. After all the mental gymnastics on here surrounding why a modular X-Mansion would never happen, it doesn't hurt to keep an open mind.

Honestly, if you get a little creative with the scenes, you end up with a killer figure lineup for Asgard 

Other people have already mentioned Cap and Hulk, which would leave only Hawkeye, Widow and Stark out of the original Avengers

Loki obviously is a big deal by himself now too

Rocket was with Thor during the Endgame time heist, so that could be an excuse to include him  

Plus, Thor's supporting cast is maybe the biggest untapped potential in the LEGO MCU sets in terms of brand new minfigures - just off the top of my head, we've never had:

Odin, Heimdall, Sif, Volstagg, Fandral, Hogun, any of the Frost Giants or Dark Elves, Skurge, Frigga 

And then of course they can repeat characters, like Hela (who would be a big draw, imo), Korg/Meik, Valkyrie

I think that a Malibu Mansion would be cool, but it's a wayyyy less memorable location (at least imo) and has less opportunity for a minifigure lineup besides just more Iron Man suits. Not as many other characters appear there as they do in Asgard, and even disregarding the explicit canon of who has actually been there, there aren't many Iron Man characters who aren't made yet in LEGO

Don't forget that play scene with Matt Damon

Figure-wise, an Asgard set definitely has the most potential. I mean, 80% of the missing Infinity Saga characters people frequently bring up are Thor-related  Even on my list, 8/11 are! (Odin, Sif, the Warriors Three, Heimdall, Malekith, and Kurse, the others being Kaecilius, Kraglin, and Ego).

The build would be a bit trickier, given how large the place is. Maybe some forced-perspective trickery could help? Or making it microscale to begin with

Barad-Dur would be a good example of how to pull it off. Go microscale for the exterior of the palace but keep the interior rooms on the backside of the set in minifigure scale.

Because there’d have to be so many new minifigs, I would love if they did a few sets from the Thor movies you could put together to make a big Asgard like they have done with Hogwarts

Exabricks just posted a pic of Iron Patriot - I’m guessing this is for the hall of armour next year

Update: hall of armour comes with four figures plus Igor, two of them are Iron Patriot and Endgame Rescue!

Edited August 12 by HadesKing28

[poisonbricks]

Edited to avoid being redundant, HadesKing beat me to posting the hall of armour rumour here haha 

Iron Patriot and Rescue are really exciting! I wonder if the fixed MK6 will be reused from the Marvel logo set too, that'd be cool.

[Legocentrico]

Mark 46, mark 6, Iron Patriot, Rescue :-O 2025 looks super exciting!!!

 

 

 

 

[BrickBob Studpants]

While I would’ve preferred new suits, updated versions of these two will be cool to get  I guess the third figure is Tony (either in a suit or a shirt), so fingers crossed for a new suit as the fourth figure!

I don't know how reliable Unibricks is, but they are saying that the buildable Marvel logo will feature the undamaged Mark 6, a new Thor, and a new Bruce Banner.

I just saw this, too. Sounds very appealing! 
An undamaged MkVI is definitely a must have

The funny thing is I can see most of these getting made at some point.

With the Wolverine video game from Insomniac coming soon, I wonder if we could expect any tie-in sets, although Spider-Man never got any tie-in sets. Just the exclusive minifigure. Lady Deathstrike, Sabretooth, Mystique, Omega Red, and Mr. Sinister are the main villains in that with protagonists Wolverine and Jean Grey, so it would be nice to see some comic or show sets featuring those characters that could technically cross-promote the video game as well.

Wait, is that true? Spoilers!  
On a more serious note; where could I find legitimate info on the game?
I've been really excited for it for a long time but haven't seen or heard anything after that teaser about a year ago (i believe)

Haha sorry about that

So glad that at least this hall of armour comes with new things and not the same old suits

A bit underwhelming IMO, because those suits aren't for Tony Stark, I wish we got the MK 4,27,31

that means 2 figures left, I fear they will be reuses.

Probably the MK 6 from the Logo set, it's Lego, what do you expect, always reuses with superheroes

[Scarilian]

Exabricks has also remarked on the Captain America 4 set: $55, 223 pieces. Red Hulk (Current mould, movable head), Ruth-bat Seraph, Falcon Torres, Captain America Sam Wilson (New wing mould similar to the CMF). December release date. Small fighter jet build with stud shooters.

Iron Patriot is interesting though given that is from Iron Man 3... my hope is that this is teasing the figure will be reused for an Iron Man 3 Final Battle set and/or hopefully a Malibu Mansion set.

Malibu Mansion would be so cool, on a rocky cliff with a basement including all the suits in the armory and a garage with the cars

Aldrich Killian would be a great inclusion, but yeah more than two new figures seems sorta unlikely

Avengers Endgame final battle

At least 7 figures, Falcon (looks like same suit as Avengers Tower), Wasp (same suit as Avengers Tower), Chitauri (at least one), Iron Spider (brand new) and Ant Man (FINALLY a new minifigure). Plus more currently unknown

Builds include lots of portals, terrain and Avengers HQ ruins

About a year ago, the game's plot leaked along with footage. There are a few variants of the plot, but the core story is the same with the major characters I listed before. There are subreddits dedicated to the leaks for this game if you Google it, but I'll pm you the storyline as well.

At this rate, we have more sets of the Avengers Compound in ruins than we have of it fully formed. Another reason to one day make a D2C on the compound.

The X-Men will be wearing the Grant Morrison era costumes for season 2 

I am not a fan of the Morrison suits, but I will reserve judgement until I actually see how the show executes the concept. A few good ways to do them would be as a uniform for the present-day X-Men (as they lack the resources to make individualised costumes), a future uniform (which plays onto Cable’s expected “black leather” suits), or as a team suit at the end of the season (the X-Men were divided ideologically and scattered across time, so reuniting at the end and wearing a standardised uniform for the final battle against (presumably) Apocalypse would actually be a good bit of visual storytelling).

Since all of these characters have appeared in the animated series (‘92 and/or ‘97), I can see us getting comic/show versions of them as soft game tie-ins.

Odd combination (IM3 + Endgame), but since I never got the original Rescue ‘fig, I appreciate that she is available here.

Disappointed that Sabra was not swapped for Ross (or Moff Gideon). Do we know if Torres has the same new wing mould as Sam?

I am very glad to see A-Tower Falcon and Wasp reused (still waiting OK Hawkeye and Vision. . .), and an Ant-Man that does not need to be cobbled together was long overdue! I suspect that some the unnamed 2+ Minifigs will be villains, though I do hope that we get Ronin finally!
Maybe this will depict the part when they are playing keep-away with the Nano Gauntlet? That would allow for a good amount of dynamic poses, as well as require less focus on the villains (freeing up space for Ronin and other new/updated heroes).

According to people who were at the panel, only cyclops and Jean were seen waiting them, so it seems to be a future suit that the members who ended up in the future will wear.

This is my suspicion too, that it'll be a uniform for the future X-Men who influence young Cable, which are Cyclops, Jean, Wolverine, Storm, and Morph. It would look really out of place for the X-Men stuck in Ancient Egypt (Xavier, Magneto, Rogue, Beast, Nightcrawler). In theory, they could wear the Morrison suits when the two teams are reunited in the present again but I'd hope not. The black leather look isn't well suited to animation imo. At most, I hope they're one-off uniforms, like an easter egg, the way the 70s/80s classic looks were in the S1 finale.

And with Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike being confirmed for S2, that increases their chances of appearing in sets. But then again, S1 focused on Mr. Sinister and Bastion and it doesn't seem likely we'll be getting either of them although Sabretooth and Deathstrike are definitely more high-profile villains.

He would have been a much better choice. Yet another villain in a long line of MCU villains that Lego seems to be skipping.

They also have no way to make the suits in ancient Egypt (though an ancient Egyptian take on the Morrison suits would actually be pretty cool)!

To be fair, LEGO had the Mansion (and Blackbird, obviously!) in development since before the show released (Mansion Storm even has her ‘92 hair!), so we will probably not see any spoiler/explicitly S1-based sets until at least mid-2025. I do expect more X-Men sets, though, given the popularity of the series!

If this is true, then LEGO really likes changing MCU Sam’s wings every single time he appears:

Civil War: new mold

Infinity War: brick-built

CMF: new mold 

Avengers Tower: brick-built (new method)

Brave New World: new mold (presumably) 

I was hoping that the BNW wings would be the same as the CMF ones, but I guess not. Odd.
