New ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Lego Set Just Confirmed Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Will Appear in the Movie

Marvel merchandise has developed a reputation for spoiling major plot points long before a film’s actual marketing catches up, with toy leaks repeatedly beating official trailers to the punch in recent years. That pattern played out earlier this year when supposed ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ toys confirmed the Savage Hulk’s return well before Marvel officially revealed it, and fans have been on high alert for similar slip-ups ever since.

That alertness kicked into overdrive this week around LEGO’s newly revealed Marvel Advent Calendar for 2026. The 317-piece set, officially arriving September 1 for $44.99, includes six minifigures: Spider-Man, Iron Man, Doctor Doom, Ghost Spider, Captain America, and Wolverine, each paired with small festive builds like a Helicarrier, an X-Jet-themed sleigh, and a Christmas tree assembled from green Wolverine claws.

To most shoppers, that lineup would read as a fairly standard holiday tie-in. To Marvel fans already deep into months of ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘ leak-tracking, though, the pairing of Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Doctor Doom in the same box felt like something more. “They’re not even hiding it anymore,” read one widely shared reaction on X from user Carl, tagging the set with the hashtag #AvengersDoomsday.

That reaction taps into a genuinely extensive rumor cycle that’s been circulating since earlier this year. Multiple outlets, including Cosmic Book News and GeekTyrant, have reported on alleged leaked photos appearing to show Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool confronting Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man during what’s believed to be the film’s opening sequence, tied to the Incursion storyline first introduced in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’

According to Cosmic Book News, the alleged leak describes ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ opening not in the MCU’s main timeline, but on the Earth belonging to Maguire’s version of Spider-Man from Sam Raimi’s original trilogy, with Deadpool and Wolverine arriving on a mission connected to saving their own universe. Some versions of the rumor reportedly suggest the sequence ends badly for Maguire’s Spider-Man, though accounts of exactly what happens have varied and remain uncorroborated.

Despite the volume of leaked images and set photos circulating, Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed Maguire’s involvement in the film, nor has the studio addressed the specific plot details tied to the alleged opening sequence. As GeekTyrant noted in its own coverage of recently surfaced photos, distinguishing real leaks from convincing AI-generated fakes has become its own challenge for fans trying to track the film’s actual plot.

Even cast members connected to the wider Marvel universe have been drawn into the speculation. Actor Walker Scobell reacted to the rumored Spider-Man versus X-Men showdown in a clip shared by Avengers Updates, calling it “the coolest thing I’ve ever heard” while adding he didn’t want to see Maguire’s character killed off.

Given that LEGO’s advent calendar simply features a generic Spider-Man minifigure rather than anything explicitly modeled after Maguire’s Raimi-era costume, it’s worth noting the specific “Tobey Maguire” connection remains fan interpretation rather than anything LEGO or Marvel has stated outright. Still, the timing and character pairing were enough to reignite discussion among fans already primed to see confirmation in every new piece of merchandise.

With ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ set to hit theaters December 18, fans will have a few more months to keep piecing together clues from toy aisles, leaked photos, and everything in between before finding out how much of this rumored opening sequence actually makes it to the screen.
