New Lego sets tied to Avengers: Doomsday reportedly provide the clearest indication yet of Beast’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The character’s inclusion matters because it further connects the forthcoming Avengers film to the X-Men, following Beast’s appearance in the post-credits scene of The Marvels.

The sets appear to depict Beast in his blue, fur-covered form, consistent with Kelsey Grammer’s version of the character rather than a newly introduced interpretation. Lego merchandise is not definitive confirmation of a film’s full plot or cast, but licensed releases often offer early clues about characters and scenes.
