New leaked pictures of LEGO toy sets from Marvel's upcoming Avengers: Endgame may reveal some intriguing information about the film.

With the release of Avengers: Endgame only two short months way, anticipation is at an all-time high. The more the movie approaches, the more marketing material is being released. On top of having merchandise offering new looks at the characters appearing in the film, we've also gotten many toy leaks that may or may not have revealed crucial information about the Marvel film's plot.

Now, despite Marvel Studios' incredible secrecy, new images of a couple of LEGO toy sets have leaked on Reddit, and they raise some interesting questions about the film.

The first set features a big action scene that takes place at the Avengers compound, and characters involved include Thanos (in full battle armor), the Hulk, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Nebula (who can be seen wearing her 'Advanced Tech' suit) and Thanos' foot soldiers, the Outriders. Will the Mad Titan really attack the Avengers in their home in the film?

The second LEGO set features the return of a curious Marvel Cinematic Universe location: Tony Stark's Hall of Armors. On the packaging, the action scene depicted reveals the Outriders attacking Stark's workshop, with many Iron Man armors from the Iron Man movies such as the hulking Igor taking part in the fight.

This set is particularly noteworthy because the Hall of Armors was destroyed in Iron Man 3. However, with rumors that Avengers: Endgame may feature elements of time travel, could the film feature a return to Tony Stark's Malibu home?

As always, when it comes to toy leaks pertaining to Avengers: Endgame, it's also important to remember that these sets might be part of a massive misdirect. After all, directors Joe and Anthony Russo said that 99% of the Endgame toy leaks are inaccurate. But, then again, LEGO has leaked some crucial information before, such as the inclusion of Giant-Man in Captain America: Civil War.

Thefore, the question has to be asked: could we have just gotten our first look at some of Endgame's big set pieces?

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Olsen, Chadwick Boseman, Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Bettany, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Benedict Wong, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Holland and Anthony Mackie. The film arrives April 26.
