It won't. There are going to be some really awkward pauses where they knew the audience would be cheering, particularly when Andrew and Tobey show up. Between that and how obvious it is that Ifans and Hayden-Church never were on set, I think this one's gonna fall apart a bit on rewatch. It's gonna be very obvious how it's a movie of spliced ideas.

That being said, still way better than FFH.

I will die on the hill that the second half of FFH (more or less half. Starting from the hotel room with MJ onward) was one of the strongest and most beautiful looking in any Marvel movie ever. The first half I refuse to torture myself with ever again. That bus scene upsets me on so many levels.
To tangentially connect this to a Lego convo, I’m excited for that FFH polybag. I wonder when it’s gonna come out. Doesn’t seem like it’ll be a GWP, hopefully it shows up at a Target or something.

I’m expecting to see Thor sets or maybe even minifigures first soon. And I’m so eager to know the details of that upcoming Infinity Saga accesory pack.
 

Hopefully we get a proper Bruce Banner minifigure included in the Hulkbuster D2C.

I'm also expecting Thor sets. Especially considering that the sets are coming out in Australia and New Zealand in March, I think we'll see the images soon.

Wouldn‘t count on that  I know it says so in the catalogues, but that was the initial release date before the movie got delayed (again). They probably just forgot to correct the dates

Я бы на это не рассчитывал Я знаю, что так написано в каталогах, но это была начальная дата выхода до того, как фильм был отложен (снова). Они, вероятно, просто забыли исправить даты

If so, it's pathetic.

How is that pathetic? It's not like they could've predicted Marvel delaying the movies.

Shares a torso from another figure, hair isn’t accurate and the only good thing about it is glowing green eyes which looks nothing like Mark Ruffalo.

Bruce Banner probably shops for clothes at the same place in Lego City

I love those glowing green eyes, his anger can be seen in the rage of his eyes. I think it's a good Bruce Banner. 

What other Bruce would you want? Bruce the shark from Finding Nemo? 

"Fish are friends, not food"- Bruce the shark

Other than glowing eyes I can’t see the likeness of Mark Ruffalo. Mind you that’s the only figure of Bruce Banner we got. No other figure for him. 
If a minifigure is included on that IW HB D2C, just like the AOU HB it has an accurate minifigure torso, maybe they can do that too. And change the face, Wakanda features Bruce Banner alot you can see the difference.

Realistically, Disney/Marvel would want the Thor 4 trailer/teaser to be released before we end up seeing the Lego sets which would give us a look at characters from the film who have not been officially shown yet, most notably Gorr, who may have some ties to the symbiotes if the movie follows the comics. If the Lego sets spoil him having the Necrosword or any symbiote style outfit/armour then that could be a big factor they want to avoid people seeing before the trailer.

If they had an intent to reveal the sets before the trailer/teaser then it would have been logical for them to have revealed the sets alongside the reveal of Thor's Hammer last week. Instead, we have nothing. I would as such view Monday 14th February as the absolute earliest if we are indeed treated to a look at Thor 4 at the Superbowl, however chances are the focus would more likely be on Doctor Strange 2 - which they will likely want to replicate the success of Sony's Spider-man NWH.

Honestly, I'm still expecting February to be a fairly quiet month in terms of information, I'd suggest others expect the same. Though hopefully the superbowl will give us the ability to speculate over what additional Doctor Strange 2 sets could include if the film is popular enough OR if they had spoiler sets planned. I feel everything will start picking up pace in March/April.

I'd honestly prefer if it was Hulk in the style of the Avengers: Endgame Final Battle Thanos. If it is just a minifigure then it'd have to be Bruce and chances are he'll just look like this - and that'd be 'eh' personally. We could maybe get a double-sided face print, but they would'nt be able to do much with it as his 'attempt transformations' in the film resulted in his entire face going green and you would'nt be able to hide that with a hair piece, so it'd probably just be the green eyes and an angry expression.

The only alternative I can think of would be if they go the Harry Potter route and have it include a golden figure of Bruce Banner, making it a unique and somewhat desirable figure and would tease we'd get other golden figures for other Avengers later.

Is that... like... not what Bruce Banner wears?

The torso was introduced for him, was only reused for Maria Hill later on. You're right about the hair, though I really don't know what existing piece would work better. 

 

As for the head not looking like Mark Ruffalo though, how many LEGO heads designed for a specific character can you really say looks that characters actor. Sure there are certainly a couple that do (Chris Pratt, Jason Mamoa), but I couldn't look at a Falcon figure and say it looks like Anthony Mackie, it just looks like Falcon. Doctor Strange doesn't look like Benedict Cumberbatch. Harry Potter even, he always has the glasses and scar, so you wouldn't look at any of his figures and say "that looks like Daniel Radcliffe", because it's just designed to obviously look like the character

 

Sorry for my little rant, I just don't understand why people get upset if a basic looking LEGO head doesn't look enough like a specific actor. I understand completely if it's the case of a head being reused, like on every Shang Chi character, or half the Eternals

Would be so cool if it’s gonna be 2012 Bruce Banner. The IW Bruce alternate looks so young that it doesn’t look like Bruce even the green eyes, you know it’s him just because of the green eyes.

Same explantion. The only indication that it is Bruce is that green eyes, looks younger when supposed to be he’s not. And again this is D2C set we are talking about, they should put more effort just like what they did with the other Hulkbuster. No worries rants are okay, it’s what we do. I’m just saying we only got 1 figure of him and it doesn’t look like him maybe this time they can try to make it look like him.

In the T'Challa episode of What If? the Collector refers to Hela's crown/sword as a necrosword. I'm guessing she'll probably take the place of Knull, considering theres probably rights issues since his first official appearance was in a Venom comic.

[TheBatstan]

I'm surprised no one here has mentioned some people managing to get the new Wolverine figure early and posting pics of it on Instagram. While there's no hairpiece, it DOES have a double sided head with a completely new facial expression.

I've already seen a few people (stupidly) say how Wolverine shouldn't be smirking, that the 2012 minifigure with the more neutral face was better, and even one comment that said the expression looks like it's from a Mighty Micros set, but clearly these people haven't seen one of the most famous Wolverine covers that the new face looks to be directly inspired from.

The face doesn't even make him look happy. Compared to the 2012 and 2014 Wolverine expressions, the new one just screams him saying "Try something bub, I dare you." It's honestly refreshing to get a new face that shows his cocky side for a change.

[SpiderJazz]

I might get a lot of hate on this comment but while I appreciate the new face print (I love it) it goes to show how the Xmen sets isn’t that popular compare to Avengers and might not be a sought after. Again, I apologize if you’re a big Xmen fan. 

I think general audience are much into Avengers or Spiderman sets.

I'll certainly give you that, it is a young looking head. Not sure the other Hulkbuster would be a great example of detail though, the Iron Man figure was just the same from the sets, with a slightly altered torso. But since then D2Cs have been giving us some great detailed figures, so if Bruce was included I do hope he'd get some new prints, and not just a reuse of Kaz or young Han Solo with a Harry Potter casual clothes torso 😅

You aren't wrong at all here. The lack of Fantastic Four media outside comics reflects why they aren't as desirable to the general audience. And the X-Men movies certainly aren't as popular as the MCU/Spider Man movies, which in turn results in a lack of merchandising. The biggest X-Men fans are more than likely people who grew up watching the 90s cartoon, who would then go and watch the movies as they came out because it starred their favourite characters. But without a modern equivalent to introduce those characters to today's kids, they would naturally find themselves watching the newest Avengers or Spider Man shows instead

Once the MCU introduces the X-Men things will go back to normal and they’ll be back up there with Spidey.

I get what you're saying, but this seems to be more calculated behind the scenes. For a number of years, the FF and X-Men were purposely shafted across Marvel content due to a feud with Fox. According to rumors, Fox denied a character to be used in the MCU, so Marvel retaliated by significantly cutting the FF and X-Men out of material so that general audience would focus on the MCU instead of Fox's films. This is why those characters couldn't appear in games like Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 or the latest Marvel vs. Capcom game.

Since Disney purchased Fox, merchandise based on the characters sprung back to life in most means (Marvel Legends figures, Funko vinyl figures, apparel, etc.) with only Lego being the major holdout for some reason. My personal guess is that Lego is too focused on the MCU to produce comic-based sets. Even the Avengers sets from 2020 were loosely based on the Square Enix game.

LEGO is the worst. They make four sets for Wakanda Forever, but zero sets for Moon Knight, She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel combined.
