Sony’s out to prove that even when sharing film rights to Spider-Man with Marvel Studios, they can still come up with a franchise featuring the massive supporting cast of the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler. Their first post-MCU-Spider cinematic outing was Venom starring Tom Hardy, and on December there’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. On the LEGO front, about the most prominent Spider-Man set to be revealed is the yet-to-be released LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Spider-Man Mech vs. Venom Mech (76115). There’s also going to be a 3D-animated special entitled Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom, coming in 2019 and seemingly working on synergy with Sony’s movies. And this time, it looks like LEGO is giving its share to the Spider-Verse with the rumored arrival of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Sets
Particularly this rumor has it that LEGO will spring some surprise tie-in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sets at year’s end. According to sources tapped by fellow LEGO news site Brick Fanatics, these LEGO sets will arrive December 1, ahead of the animated movie’s premiere.
Into the Spider-Verse is produced by The LEGO Movie’s directorial tandem of Phil Lord and Chris Miller, based on a Marvel Comics storyline that sees various incarnations of Spider-Man from different parallel dimensions brought together to face a powerful foe. The focus of this film is on young alternate Spider-Man, Miles Morales (Shameik Moore).
As always, this piece of news, like any rumors, should be taken with a pinch of salt. Ultimately it’ll be LEGO or their license partners (Marvel and Sony in this case) that’ll confirm or debunk what we have reported. We just hope that it’ll be soon enough.
A new animated special, LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Vexed by Venom, coming soon in 2019!
A new LEGO Marvel animated special has been announced during this year’s recently concluded New York Comic Con, and it looks like our friendly neighborhood web crawler will be swinging into action once again.
Marvel.com published the reveal while the audience attending the NYCC got the first-hand announcement from the Marvel Animation panel during the last day of the Comic Con, among other Marvel animated films slated to be released next year.
In LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Vexed by Venom, Spider-Man has to deal with the anti-hero symbiote, with Venom teaming up with Green Goblin for some serious tech theft problems. Though there is no official announcement from the LEGO Group, I couldn’t help but think that the upcoming LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Spider-Man Mech vs. Venom Mech (76115), revealed during SDCC last July is somehow related to this new LEGO animated film.

Here’s the full announcement from Marvel.com.
New Animated LEGO® Spider-Man Special Coming Next Year
Details revealed at New York Comic Con 2018!
Today at New York Comic Con 2018, Marvel Entertainment announced that a new animated LEGO special titled LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom is slated to premiere next year!
The voice cast for the special includes: Robbie Daymond as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Ben Pronsky as Venom, Josh Keaton as Green Goblin, Laura Bailey as Gwen Stacy/Ghost-Spider, and Tara Strong as Mary Jane!
In LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Vexed by Venom, tech theft is at an all-time high thanks to Green Goblin & Venom… So can our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man put an end to their mysterious villainous scheme before all of New York City is destroyed?
This special follows the previous collaborations between Marvel & The LEGO Group: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes – Avengers Reassembled, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes – Guardians of the Galaxy: The Thanos Threat, and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes – Black Panther: Trouble in Wakanda.
Similar to LEGO Marvel Black Panther – Trouble in Wakanda, it’s highly possible that we will see the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom launching on Disney XD or on LEGO’s YouTube channel. On a similar note, the next MCU Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Far From Home, is due to be launched on July 5, 2019, making its animated counterpart a great way of promoting the film.
Another MCU trailer has broken the internet. Currently trending at #3 on YouTube with more than 14 million views, Captain Marvel’s official trailer has overtaken the online world in less than 12 hours. In this official trailer, the Kree heroine is thrown from space and landing on an all-too-familiar 90s pop culture symbol. In case you missed it, here’s the official trailer once again.
We don’t need the power of the Mind Stone to be sure that LEGO has something in the works for MCU 9th Phase 3 film. Since March early this year, when Marvel Entertainment released its official press release about MCU’s cosmic-powered heroine, I made a wishlist of LEGO tie-in sets that I would like to see before the film debuts on March 8, 2019. And this month, when official set images of Captain Marvel were revealed, we had a better look at Starforce, the Kree’s elite military group with which Captain Marvel is affiliated, and the Skrulls, which are the film’s supposedly main antagonists.
Similar to LEGO Marvel Superheroes Guardian of Galaxy Vol. 2 and Black Panther subthemes, we can expect that Captain Marvel will also have two or three LEGO tie-in sets under her name. Some of the things I hope are sets where we can find Captain Marvel in her various minifigure renditions, including her predominantly green Starforce uniform, another uniform iteration with the signature mask and helmet on, and the upgraded red and blue uniform as seen in the comic books.
As I mentioned before, another LEGO Marvel Superheroes Captain Marvel set will most likely include Nick Fury in his younger years as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and the Kree hero Captain Mar-vell (played by Jude Law). Another candidate will be a set that includes the shape-shifting Skrulls – something similar perhaps to that beachfront scene where the Skrulls have supposedly arrived.
It is somehow established that most of MCU’s recent movie trailers are also teasers for future LEGO sets. Some of these are G.O.T.G.’s battle with the Abilisk as depicted in The Milano vs. The Abilisk (76081), Black Panther’s Royal Talon Fighter Attack (76100), and Thor Ragnarok’s Thor vs. Hulk: Arena Clash (76088). Therefore, it is not a long shot to consider that any of the scenes we saw in Captain Marvel’s official trailer will find their way as an official LEGO Marvel Superheroes set early next year.
Which particular scene from Captain Marvel’s official trailer do you think will become an official LEGO set? Tell me about your wish list and share it in the comments below.
Toy Fair season is definitely upon us, with the London Toy Fairjust being recently concluded, we now move on to the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017 – the next leg of international toy fairs that give us a glimpse of things to come especially in the world of LEGO bricks.
The Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017 in Germany, dubbed as the largest toy fair in the world, has now opened its doors to all retailers and guests, and covering the action right there at the LEGO booth are the ever-reliable teams of Promobricks and Zusammengebaut. Credit goes to their kind efforts in sharing these images with the world.
Suffice it to say, LEGO did a good job of having its active themes covered on the opening day of the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017, so let’s take a while to break down what was revealed so far during the past hours. We’ll try to comment on these images as the opportunity arises, but in the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts on these sets. A huge thanks to Promobricks for sharing these images!
This may come as a surprise for LEGO Technic fans. LEGO has revealed at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017 a building guide that allows you to combine this year’s Technic sets particularly, 42057, 42061, and 42063, to come up with the iconic Technic chassis from 1977.
We know that LEGO has a sweet spot for the Technic theme since it is one of the longest lines of sets that it has ever came up with. If the inclusion of the 40th commemorative beam in its 2017 sets is already a very much welcomed token, then the presence of the commemorative building guide as revealed at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017 (which will be made available for free during the second half of the year according to Zusammengebaut) is a great bonus.
The 40th-anniversary commemorative building guide will allow Technic users to combine sets 42057, 42061, and 42063 to come up with iconic LEGO Technic chassis from the 1970s.
The entire range of 2017 LEGO Architecture sets is also on display at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017, with the Guggenheim Museum (21035) and Arc De Triomphe (21036) making their first public debut.
The latest line of sets coming from the LEGO City theme were also displayed at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017, including two people packs, and the Jungle and Coast Guard sub-themes.
The latest sets under LEGO Creator were also revealed, with familial scenes to boot and two sets dedicated to space travel and road racing unveiled at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017.
Though LEGO has not revealed any images yet, it’s great to know that The LEGO Group has finally confirmed its latest line of superhero sets dedicated to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Comics Super Heroes. The box art that was on display at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017 confirms that we’ll be seeing several sets all dedicated to the much-awaited films such as Spider-Man: Homecoming (sets 76082 & 76083), Thor: Ragnarok (sets 76084 & 76088), and DC’s Justice League (sets 76085, 76086, and 76087).
Also on display were the recently revealed LEGO Marvel Superheroes:
There seems to be another previously reported ‘fake’ news that turned out to be true after all. Hot off the trail that the rumored LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Men Tell No Tales (71042) was eventually legit, the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017 has revealed that LEGO indeed has its sights in coming up with a line of sets dedicated to the third comeback of Lightning McQueen in Disney Pixar’s Cars 3. These watermarked box arts were put on display bearing set numbers 10730, 10731, 10732, 10733, 10742, 10743, 10744, & 10745.
We know that Series 17 of LEGO’s CMF is just around the corner. In fact, leaked images of some of its minifigs are already out there in the wild. However, LEGO has been particularly tight-lipped with its next line of cinematic CMFs, particularly on its next theatrical offering, The LEGO Ninjago Movie.
Though the box on display at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017 was sort of the generic type, the number of minifigs (20 in this series) gives us a hint that LEGO intends to repeat its minifig offerings, the same as that from the LEGO Batman Movie. The picture also below somehow gives us an idea of how our teen ninjas will look in their first-ever cinematic debut.
Other LEGO Highlights at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017
Some of LEGO’s highlights at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017 also include a demonstration of its upcoming LEGO Boost Creative Toolbox (17101) and the official launch of the social media platform for LEGO fans, the LEGO Life app.
So what do you think brick fans? What other sets will LEGO reveal in the next few days? Drop us a note in the comments below or head over at our Facebook page and join in the conversation.

Throughout the weekend, Eurobricks member Jacob_9821 finally gave us our first look at the highly anticipated fourth Captain America Civil War set, the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Tanker Truck Takedown 76067 which we previously mentioned as one of the sets that we’re still waiting to see this summer. Thanks to Jacob_9821, we now have these images.

76067 looks great at so many points. First off, we finally have our newest minifigure version of Spider-Man as we see him in the Civil War. For most of us, this is one Spidey that we will add to our roster of most wanted minifigures. Then we have another minifig rendition of Vision which we first had in The Avengers Quinjet City Chase 76032 – a larger set as compared to 76067. We also have a newer version of Hawkeye with a purple vest that perfectly matches his similarly colored motorcycle. His bike itself is a great build that closely resembles that of Captain America’s Motorcycle 30447. Finally, Tanker Truck Takedown 76067 is a great complement to Super Hero Airport Battle 76051 as it depicts that epic scene where the Avengers are forced to fight each other.
This fourth Civil War set wraps up everything that we know so far about LEGO’s releases under this theme and is expected to be a retailer exclusive. Stephen made an interesting set analysis of the first three sets from the Civil War, highlighting the best features among them. Tom also wrote an excellent article on the accuracy of these sets as compared to the actual scenes that were depicted in the film. Be sure to take a look at these superb commentaries and share with us what you think about the LEGO Civil War collection in the comments below.
