LEGO reveals possible Captain America: Civil War spoilers
By Adam Carlson
A promotional catalog for LEGO revealed sets for Captain America: Civil War that has information that fans might not want to know before seeing the film.
It’s the holiday season, so many companies are releasing information about upcoming lines of products as well as ideas for gifts. LEGO is just one of the many businesses that put out a catalog with items to look forward to in 2016.
However, some of the products regarding the film Captain America: Civil War might reveal some spoilers that people may not want to know before watching the movie.
According to ScreenCrush.com, many of the images in the 2016 LEGO catalog in regards to Captain America: Civil War give away a bit too much about some of the characters and possible plot points that will be explored when the film is released on May 6, 2016 in North America.
***WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW***
The two smaller LEGO sets (Crossbones Hazard Heist and Black Panther Pursuit) include six characters in total: Winter Soldier, Captain America, Black Panther, Falcon, Black Widow and Crossbones, as well as several vehicles, such as jets and motorcycles.
While there is currently no way to confirm that Crossbones will be involved in a heist during Captain America: Civil War and pursued by Black Panther, it seems like a possible scenario that could happen in the upcoming film. If that is the case, LEGO may have ruined what might be a major part of the film experience with the announcement of these sets.
The other set is the Super Hero Airport Battle collection. This set includes small Ant-Man, Agent 13, Scarlet Witch, Winter Soldier, Captain America, War Machine, Iron Man and giant Ant-Man as well as a jet, baggage carrier, control tower and more.
The possible spoiler here involves Ant-Man, who hasn’t yet gotten the hang of his gigantic size after just learning how to use his suit properly near the end of his standalone film. As noted in the image above, the giant Ant-Man figure is significantly larger than the others in the set. It is possible that an altercation at the airport could involve the superhero using his super-size ability to help thwart some nefarious plan.
If these are indeed spoilers for Captain America: Civil War, the upcoming film sounds like it will be full of action and adventure. If not, LEGO and Marvel may have shown some great creativity in creating sets for collectors and fans. Either way, we’ll know more about these products in the future, with more announcements likely coming at the Toy Fair in February of 2016.
