At the New York Toy Fair today, LEGO unveiled two new sets for the upcoming Spider-Man Homecoming movie. Whilst the first set gives us another look at the ATM Heist scene from the Trailer, the second shows a hitherto unseen scene featuring the Vulture, Spider-Man and Iron Man battling around a moving armoured van.
Whilst we all know just how misleading Lego sets can be, the most intriguing thing about this second set is that one of the characters on the box has been greyed out - both in the character panel in the bottom left, and on the artwork itself where the character is driving the van - suggesting that their name and identity constitue a spoiler for the movie itself.
Furthermore, the crates that are falling out of the van carry the initials
"DODC", a branding we have
seen previously on both cast listings and set photos which internet fan theories have linked to the inclusion of the
Damage Control agency in Spider-Man Homecoming
One possible explanation to link all of this together is that the rumoured
"Department of Damage Control" (DODC) has been responsible for clearing up all the left-over Chitauri tech in New York City (
in lieu of SHIELD), and that the Vulture and his gang are attempting to steal this advanced weaponary to bolster their arsenal for their criminal activities, such that we have seen in the trailer.... Or perhaps the mysterious
"DODC" is something else entirely.
Check out the two lego sets below and let us know what you think in the comments - who is the mystery figure? who are the DODC?
