I think we'll get all four, especially if you take the NWH Sanctum set and Wanda's CMF fig in mind: 
1. Strange - only needs a new torso and legs, head/hair/Cloak can be reused from NWH
2. Wong - only needs a new torso and legs, head/hair can be reused from NWH
3. America Chavez - all new 
4. Wanda - CMF figure with fully dark red arms, flesh hands and the hairpiece recolored to brown (going off the comic-like wrapping gift we saw months ago)

We're all begging for a good, affordable Wong, and America is a must. Dr. Strange is a given, but do we need a Wanda after having her in her new suit in the CMF?
If one doesn't make it, I hope it's her, honestly.

She's more of a main character then Wong, if any will be skipped it's him. Plus he's already affordable in the NWH Sanctum set.

I think you're right, but his yellow poncho torso is so hideous :(

Wanda is supposedly a main character along with Strange so I think she’s a given. Plus they get to reuse the new mold from the CMF. If we get three I’m thinking it’ll be them plus America Chavez since she’s a new character who’s important to the story, and if we get four it’ll be them plus Wong.

Her role is as big as Strange's, so LEGO will definitely include her. It's a 30€ set so 4 minifigures aren't a problem.

If LEGO (for some reason) had to leave one out, it would be Wong tho.

According to Fulcrum, we’re getting another Hulkbuster D2C in 2022. 

[lego_guyon02]

So yeah.... after that horrendous Hulkbuster we got in 2018 it's safe to say they couldn't possibly have f*cked up this D2C worse. This is just sad 

[PsychoBuilder]

Probably no modular next year then, I’m guessing the Hulkbuster will be have some sort of 10th anniversary thing. On the other hand, maybe we’ll start getting yearly Marvel D2Cs?

I'm guessing like the new Tumbler, a quick update to the previous model but nothing crazy.

If that happens they better not all be huge oversized vehicles like the DC D2C's 

[BrickBob Studpants]

Hopefully it‘s the IW design, just for the sake of variety. Still a bit baffling to see a remake of a D2C set after only four years. This usually takes at least 7-8 years 

[Meaf]

The Hulkbuster D2C news is quite disappointing. Literally anything else would have been more interesting considering the last one is hardly old.

The makes the most sense to me too, and I suppose it does ease the sting a bit if that is the case since it means this probably wouldn't be taking the place of any other potential Marvel D2C. Either way it seems like a waste of time to me, but it seems like Lego is contractually obligated to release at least 4 Marvel mechs a year, so maybe I shouldn't be so surprised.

Oh boy, can't wait to get the exclusive MK50 suit with a missing chestplate, it's the figure I've wanted since the last Hulkbuster D2C gave us that beautiful MK43 figure

Unless it's based on the game and it's that version of Iron Man minus a chestplate. Certainly a close second on my wishlist

I’m hoping it’s a standard MCU Iron Man variant but with extra detail like arm printing. At least then it might be worth BrickLinking the figure. 

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Bruh what the hell.

I didn't like the 1st, and I probably won't like the next one. We've had like 3 Marvel D2Cs, and they're already remaking one...

[Kim-Kwang-Seok]

I really wonder where the market for this stuff is coming from. I assume Lego does their homework (aka research) and know better than me. But my assumption would be that an Avengers tower would be in higher demand compared to a yet again messy and oversized mech. And a building - like the D. Bugle would always need the extra pieces.

Like, they could do a decent version of the mech for around 50-60 bucks. Most (way better and still stable) mocs I've seen use less parts than the last  official version at least.

[jonwil]

ANOTHER Hulkbuster? That's good for my wallet since I still haven't snagged the Bugle :)

I wonder if the Bugle still being available makes releasing another similar large building less attractive right now...

Think on the bright side, maybe we’ll finally get an updated Ultron...

But seriously why would Lego think that anyone wants another expensive Hulkbuster??

[Scarilian]

Regardless of if this is another attempt at Age Of Ultron or if it's based on the Infinity War version, I feel it needs to be done right this time.

I feel it would have made a lot more sense for us to get a D2C Avengers/Stark Tower, as it also aligns with the 10th anniversary of 2012's Avengers.

I doubt it is a remake. It might be based on Infinity War/Endgame which would match the idea of us generally getting an Avengers based D2C 2-3 years after the film.

I may be in the minority on this but an updated Ultron in an expensive D2C nobody wants is worse than no updated Ultron

Something is always better than nothing imo.

I don't care either way tho, I don't want Ultron and I don't want a Hulkbuster with him.

I'm content with Andrew's minifig not having arm printing, I just want leg printing for him.

I have no expectations for the Andrew figure. I just want an affordable version of him haha

Additional Hulkbuster D2C details from Promobricks: 
- It will cost $200-250 and contain roughly 2500 pieces
- It will be 50-60 cm high so twice as tall as the 2018 version
- It's based on the Mark 48 from Infinity War
- The only additional build is a plaque
- Just 1 exclusive figure which will be either Tony or Bruce

Yeah this is a very hard and easy pass, what a joke

As a Iron Man minifigures collector, I hope that it will be Bruce. :D
