This is breaking news that will make LEGO fans very happy. Variety is reporting that Marvel has announced their licensing partners for next year’s Captain America: Civil War and LEGO will be a part of it which means that we’ll be getting sets for the movie next year in the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes line. Building off the success of the Avengers: Age of Ultron merchandise, Marvel and Disney are hoping that Civil War will also continue that trend.
The article does mention that the campaign will feature a number of newer characters including War Machine, Falcon, Vision, Black Widow, and Black Panther. We’ve already seen a few iterations of these characters as minifigures but hopefully we’ll see some more being introduced.
Products will be hitting store shelves eight weeks before the May 6 opening so that gives us a timeframe of when we should be expecting to see the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Captain America: Civil War sets. I’m going to guess that it’ll be around March or April.
What do you guys think of this news that was kind of expected given that LEGO tends to produce sets based on the Marvel movies? Which minifigures are you hoping to see be included in the sets?

YES!!! This movie is going to be awesome! I am so glad that LEGO got the license already! The winter soldier will be there too, right?
The Winter Soldier BETTER be there! I wanna MCU Falcon Sooooo Baaaad!!!
Black Panther figure. Oh so yes.
Baron Zemo!
I called this a couple days ago in the Winter Solider minifig review post. Basically because it’s going to be Avengers III (before the real Avengers III actually hits). It’s the biggest film Marvel has on the docket until Guardians II. Some things I expect to see:
–Black Widow in a cheap to mid-priced set (for once)
–the movie version of Falcon (way more exciting than Winter Soldier IMO)
–another variation of Iron Man’s armor
–rehashes of Vision? Antman? scarlet witch?
–new War Machine armor
–hopefully a cheaper version of Cap without hood, as the one of from the Helicarrier is fetching $25+ on the secondary market
I find that Helicarrier Cap going for 25 plus seemd weird. You just need young Obi-Wan’s head and an orange tousled hairpiece along with the AoU body.
Thanks for the heads-up. Is the hairpiece a common one in that color?
It comes in two of the guardians of the galaxy sets with the starlord minifigs.
And in various other sets too, such as City sets and Ninjago sets that include Jay. Or you can purchase one in bricklink or pick a brick for about 15 cents, more or less
I think you might be confusing the medium dark flesh color which is only used for the Hellicarrier Captain America, Star Lord, and a boy in the Ferris Wheel set with the orange hairpiece which is very common and appears in a lot of City sets and is used for Jay.
Still, the medium dark flesh hair can be picked up for around 30 cents on BrickLink, so it’s pretty easy to obtain.
Yeah! Seeing that Winter Soldier was released already as an exclusive, unless it is a different variation, we may not see him. However, maybe we will see Spider-Man
It will probably be one set, just like the Ant-man set this year.
It’s most likely a wave, since there may be more minifigures to be annouced, and with villians like Crossbones and Baron Zemo most likely in the mix, it’s doubtful the will put it all in one set
I agree–definitely a wave; at least 3 sets a la Iron Man 3 and GOTG but possibly 5-6.

This is all awesome
I bet it will be a wave like the avengers sets since it is avengers 2.5, also there are more main people to make in different clothing, unlike iron man 3 and ant-man.
