LEGO have revealed their newest selection of Minifigs and, we must say, it’s a cracking collection… but it also seems to hold a secret.
The new figs (above) are based on the Disney+ shows, primarily WandaVision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki and the upcoming What If…? and it has some cracking figures (the Sylvie and Captain Carter figures are must haves and so is Loki with his wee cup).
Here’s the official info:
Action lovers young and old can collect, display or add cool character minifigures into their current playsets from Marvel Studios Original series WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki and What If…?, featuring The Scarlet Witch, The Vision, Monica Rambeau, Winter Soldier, Captain America, Loki, Sylvie, T’Challa Star-Lord, Captain Carter, Gamora with the Blade of Thanos, Zombie Hunter Spidey and Zombie Captain America.
However, they also revealed the packaging for the figures (blind bags again, grrrrrrrrrr) and on there is a surprise appearance of a character we’ve wanted to see in the MCU for a number of years:
Yes, top right, that is clearly Logan/Wolverine in the artwork.
Now, I know, Marvel owns all the X-Men characters now and there is a LEGO Wolverine figure, but the detail that has our attention is the fact that the collection is clearly marked Marvel Studios and that is strictly MCU only.
Now, my guess is we’ll see Wolverine in What If…? meaning that Marvel can satiate the fans and still have time to cast an actor and work out how and when to bring him into the live-action universe.
And look, it’s not as if we’ve not speculated in the past how Logan could join the MCU (here) and even if Hugh Jackman may return for the Multiverse storyline (here).
Though it is strange that this appeared shortly after Jackman seemingly teased something Wolverine/MCU-related recently (here).
Look, sure, it could be nothing… but I like to hope that maybe, just maybe, we’re set to see those claws score across the MCU sooner rather than later.
Thought?
