Lego Avengers: Doomsday sets reveal Nightcrawler as new X-Men character

Full text

Five Lego Avengers: Doomsday sets have been assembled across SDCC 2026 , and besides giving us Doctor Doom wrecking shop across the multiverse, they also provide our best look yet at a major X-Men character who has yet to appear in any trailers or promo material.

Depicting the revamped Avengers Quinjet, New Avengers Tower, and a tussle with Sentinels in the X-Men universe, these kits (which are all up for pre-order via Lego ) are inspired by significant battles we can expect across the movie – and most of the characters featured are ones we've seen before. However, the exception is that final Lego Avengers: Doomsday set, because it gives us our first glimpse of Nightcrawler.

Dubbed "Epic Battle: Avengers: Doomsday," this diorama depicts both Avengers and X-Men going to war with a Sentinel robot along with Doctor Doom himself. That includes a cutlass-wielding, gray-haired Nighcrawler wearing what looks to be a classic leather X-Men outfit from the 2000s movies. We haven't seen hide nor hair of Alan Cumming's teleporting mutant in promotional material before now (he's not even included in the new Hasbro Doomsday action figures that break from tradition and will actually be out in time for the movie ), so this is the best and only look we've had.

(Image credit: Lego) The other four kits straddle the line between playset and display piece, like many of the best Lego sets . There is one 18+ model, though: the Doctor Doom Bust, featuring an imposing statuette of Robert Downey Jr.'s villain alongside a minifigure version of the character.

LEGO®

Doctor Doom Bust

UK: £44.99 at Lego

This is one of the more affordable Doomsday Lego releases, and at 379 pieces, it shouldn't take too long to put together (perfect for fans that aren't big into Lego but want a cool Doom-themed collectible to go on their shelf). It comes with a minifigure of the good Doctor, ready to cause chaos across the multiverse.

LEGO®

Epic Battle: Avengers: Doomsday

UK: £89.99 at Lego

This 846-piece model feels like the perfect balancing act between kids' toy and display piece; despite coming on a fancy plaque for an in-action display pose, the Sentinel itself looks highly posable and you're getting six minifigures for your trouble. You're getting Mystique, Nightcrawler, Magneto, Thor, Mister Fantastic, and Doctor Doom here.

LEGO®

Avengers: Doomsday New Avengers Tower

UK: £99.99 at Lego

This eye-catching model is the centerpiece of the collection so far. At 954 pieces, it's also one of the biggest. That tower (which stands at 13.5in/34cm tall) is full of fun or intriguing details like a prison cell for Doctor Doom and somewhere for Sentry to chill out while watching TV. The minifigures you're getting are Doctor Doom, Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, Bucky Barnes, Human Torch, and Sentry.

LEGO®

Avengers: Doomsday Quinjet

UK: £54.99 at Lego

This mid-range set (which is 433 pieces) gives us a glimpse of the new design for the Avengers Quinjet. Four minifigures are up for grabs with the model; there's The Thing, Doctor Doom, Cyclops, and Sam Wilson's Captain America.

LEGO®

Avengers: Doomsday Heroes & Villain

UK: £34.99 at Lego

Want a more straightforward display piece to go on your shelf or desk? This roundup of Doomsday BrickHeadz figures fills that niche. Because we haven't yet had a Gambit minifigure, this is the best fans can hope for right now.

Despite being unveiled alongside everything announced at Marvel SDCC , these kits won't land for a little while yet; most are due to arrive on October 4, 2026. The exception is the Doctor Doom Bust, which drops on September 1.
