A fresh Avengers 4 toy leak has many people curious about what is happening in the next film. It appears that Thor and Rocket get some fancy new outfits.
First, the image in question.
We have a couple of caveats on this image. We do feel this is an actual toy package, but there are some flags to this not being part of the actual movie.
First off, the generic “Avengers” logo at the top. While Marvel Studios is hiding the title of the film from the public, there is very little chance that Hasbro would want to send toys for a film out into the market without the full name. This makes us lean towards this being more of a generic Avengers line. When a toy line is between films, it is not unusual for them to go down some generic paths to fill gaps in the releases. These outfits have a very “we’re between Batman films” vibe to them like the old Kenner toy line.
Additionally, we’re just under seven months out from the film which puts us about six months out from the marketing blitz beginning. This is awfully early for a toy line to be producing its packaging yet. While figures should be in production soon, if not already, packaging is probably still a few months away.
In short, this is something that is happening in an Avengers toy line, we’re just not convinced its the actual Avengers 4 toy line quite yet. It could be, but we have questions.
Avengers 4 will hit theaters on May 3, 2019.
