About 200 confirmed LEGO sets for 2026 and many more that are only being speculated about so far, there's plenty to collect for all kinds of fans — especially those who enjoy specific series and franchises like Harry PotterNinjago, Disney and Marvel. Although there are no new sets dedicated to the new MCU Avengers: Judgment Day Marvel is in the game for LEGO fans with 12 confirmed sets and possibly 4 more that have yet to be revealed. These sets may seem random at first glance, but together they paint three very specific targets that are about to be hit.
LEGO sets dedicated to a specific IP or franchise tend to be broad enough to appeal to all possible fans, with some releases having features that are likely to be more valued by certain types of consumers. A good example is LEGO Pokemon sets in 2026, which will include a set dedicated to Pikachu, one to Eevee, and one to Gen 1/Kanto starters, all with different price tags and all contributing to different building experiences. Marvel is no exception and its goals are:

LEGO Marvel's 3 Goals for 2026 Explained
Of the confirmed 2026 LEGO sets dedicated to Marvel characters and stories, six are dedicated to different goals, and the remaining six mostly fit into one of the three goals, but in a slightly different way. The objectives are:
-
Movie Accurate LEGO Sets: These are all sets that feature scenes, characters and elements from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
-
Fresh New Firsts LEGO Sets: All sets that represent something new and unique that you won't find anywhere else. It's technically an umbrella term for all sets in 2026, but only a handful have truly unique pieces.
-
LEGO Sets for AFOL Customers: This includes all LEGO sets that are intended for collectors and adult LEGO fans (AFOL for short), meaning they either require some building experience or are more expensive.
The Accurate Marvel LEGO Sets movie in 2026
There won't be many MCU-specific sets coming out next year, but the ones that are coming out offer great quality at reasonable prices. These are:
-
Epic Battle: Hulkbuster Vs. Hulk
-
Epic Battle: Spider-Man Vs. Sandman
Hulkbuster Vs. The Hulk comes from an iconic scene in Avengers: Age of Ultronwhere Tony Stark uses the Hulkbuster suit to tranquilize the Hulk. The set includes a small plaque showing where the battle came from, and includes a minifigure for the Hulk and a larger model for the Hulkbuster suit.
Similarly, the Spider-Man vs. Sandman comes from another Marvel movie, this time inspired Spider-Man 3 (2007). This is probably one of the best LEGO sets of 2026 considering that it comes with three different characters (Spider-Man, Sandman and Venom) and only costs $24.99.
New Marvel LEGO Sets in 2026
This category is for all non-film accurate sets as well as non-AFOL sets. Since all new sets always have something unique, this applies to all nine confirmed Marvel sets for 2026 that are not dedicated to specific movies or aimed at adult fans.

Spidey's Team Pirate Ship
Of these, however, three specific sets take the concept of fresh new additions to a whole other level. The Team Spidey Pirate Ship set mixes Spider-Man with a pirate theme and even pirate ships, which is incredibly interesting for new collectors and veterans alike. Then the Spider-Man Car Vs. Venomized Wolverine a fantastic set for Wolverine fans, as it includes not only a loved one minifigure X-Men figure, but it's also the first time LEGO has made a Venomized version of him. Last but not least, Spider-Man Vs. Mysterio: The Daily Bugle features a fantastic landscape and tons of cool minifigures, all while introducing Venomized Captain America for the first time ever.
AFOL Customers Marvel LEGO Sets in 2026
For now, there's only one Marvel set that clearly caters to a more mature audience, both in its build requirements and price. That set is:
-
Iron Man Mark 3 Collector's Edition
At 1,297 pieces, rated 18+, and priced at $129, the Iron Man Mark 3 Collectors' Edition isn't for everyone. However, it's a stunning representation of Tony Stark's classic Mark 3 suit, complete with one Iron Man minifigure to keep as a collectible or use in other sets.
