LEGO Marvel 2025 set has the chance to do something really cool
One of the LEGO Marvel sets rumoured for 2025 has the chance to build on a summer 2024 set to do something really cool for the superhero theme.
The LEGO Group has conjured up the ultimate tribute to the second Avengers movie for August, in the form of the 613-piece diorama 76291 The Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron. The £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99 set recreates the opening scenes of the sequel, complete with the main Avengers crew and three Hydra soldiers. That even includes a Hulk bigfig (going some way to explaining the price-per-piece ratio).
That’s an unusual turn of events for the LEGO Marvel theme, which generally resists including every core character in a single set (outside of flagship models like 76269 Avengers Tower), instead spreading them out across multiple models. Take the original Captain America: Civil War range, for instance, which split up the movie’s airport battle into two sets: 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle and 76067 Tanker Truck Takedown.
You could chalk that situation up partly to Spider-Man’s presence being a semi-secret (at least until the later trailers), so the LEGO Group probably couldn’t include the web-slinger in the initial wave of Civil War sets in March 2016. But if you wanted the entire cast of characters duking it out at the airport, you needed to buy both those sets and 76050 Crossbones’ Hazard Heist (for Falcon).
The LEGO Group is now rumoured to be returning to the third Captain America movie in 2025, calling back to Civil War just in time for Brave New World to debut in cinemas a month later. Instagram user Brick Clicker reports that 76314 Civil War Airport Battle will drop in January for $99.99. That’s the same price tag as 76291 The Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron. Can you see where we’re going with this?
If this new set is to Civil War what the August 2024 set is to Age of Ultron, we could be looking at the ultimate ode to the 2016 movie that includes every main character: Captain America, Hawkeye, Ant-Man/Giant-Man, Winter Soldier, Wanda Maximoff, Falcon, Iron Man, War Machine, Black Widow, Vision and Spider-Man. That’s 11 minifigures in total, which sounds like a lot, but then 76291 includes eight minifigures and a bigfig.
It’s not difficult to imagine three minifigures dropping in for the Hulk, or even two minifigures and Giant-Man forming a significant part of the build (as he did in 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle), so the LEGO Marvel team only needs to include a total of 10 minifigures in the box. And given this is the one and only Civil War set on the cards for 2025 so far, any absentees from the list would feel like a disservice to the movie.
Including every single character from a specific scene is still not a norm for the superhero range. August’s 76290 The Avengers vs. The Leviathan skips half the cast, but then that set will retail for only £44.99 / $49.99 / €49.99. At the price tag 76314 Civil War Airport Battle is said to command, here’s hoping the LEGO Marvel theme takes the chance to do something very cool, which is to say following the precedent established by 76291 The Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron.
Check out the full range of LEGO superhero sets rumoured for 2025 in the table below. This also includes a handful of LEGO DC sets, one of which is said to move beyond Batman for the first time in years.

Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
