Marvel Recreated the Entire Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Brick by Brick, and the LEGO Version Somehow Feels Bigger

By Bill Smith August 24, 2026

Marvel just released an official LEGO version of the first full Avengers: Doomsday trailer, and the whole thing runs shot for shot against the live-action cut that dropped in July. Disney Consumer Products, Marvel Studios, and the LEGO Group built it together as part of their “All Moments Lead to Doomsday” campaign. Real cast voices stay in place, including Robert Downey Jr. delivering Doctor Doom’s lines. The result lasts almost exactly as long as the original, missing only the final countdown clock, and it pulls off a level of precision most fan stop-motion attempts never reach.

By Jackson Chung August 14, 2026

By Bill Smith June 13, 2026

Marvel Animation released the first trailer for season two of X-Men ’97 this week under the name Roll Call, and the footage makes the direction clear without giving every twist away. The core team ends up split across different eras after the events of the first season, with some members landing in the ancient past, others in a distant future, and all of them trying to find a route back to the time they know. Back in the 1990s, the absence leaves room for fresh waves of mutant fear and new enemies who see an opening.

By Bill Smith June 11, 2026

A wiry black cat and a hulking grey one lean in on a smaller suspect. The topic is missing tuna. The setting feels like a back room somewhere in Venice. Mark Ruffalo gives the smaller cat, Nero, a scrappy edge. Laurence Fishburne supplies the larger one, Rocco, with a voice that fills the space. Then a lightbulb on a cord begins to swing overhead. Both interrogators forget the tuna. Their eyes lock onto the movement. The scene dissolves into swats, leaps, and a final crunch as Rocco bites the bulb clean off its cord.

By Bill Smith May 23, 2026

Crostplay2 spent six months transforming the official LEGO Wall-E set into a robot that actually moves and responds on its own. Pixar fans everywhere know the official set looks perfect on a shelf yet stays completely still once assembled. Crostplay2 decided to change that completely by adding electronics, custom parts, and precise controls that bring the little trash-compacting character to life. The finished robot drives around smoothly, tilts its head, waves its arms, plays sounds from the movie, and even lights up in different patterns, all operated from a distance with a PlayStation 4 controller.

Kayden Knapik set out to copy one of Disney’s BD-X droids from the Star Wars areas in their parks.

The finished machine walks on two legs, turns on command, keeps its balance even when nudged, and moves its antennas to show feelings. All of it runs on parts bought online and printed at home.
