In the last 5 years or so, one thing is for certain: the world has gone Marvel mad. The Avengers, Iron Man, etc. The mainstream are finally lapping up super heroes many of us have loved for decades. It's only natural then that those super heroes get immortalised in LEGO... wait, what? Yes, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is a thing with 100 characters and you know what, it works!

We caught up with TT Games' Phil Ring out at GDC this year to talk all things LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. What can players expect from the story, the characters, how are TT Games are trying to reinvigorate the gameplay, all that and more Ring touches upon.

We've of course spliced in some rather awesome gameplay too for your enjoyment... YOU CAN SEE LEGO IRON MAN! AND LEGO HULK CHANGE TO LEGO BRUCE BANNER! Sorry, I've stopped hyperventilating now. Anyway, on with the show!

Of course, don't forget to check out our recent preview from GDC too.

  • 100 characters? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiit, this game is gonna be huge. Big fan of Lego Batman hope this can surpass it even though I'm a DC guy.
  • I want whatever that guy took before this interview
  • @2 It's 420 what do you think he took? -.-
  • cant wait!!!
  • @1 that does seem like a lot:P and is more than DC2, however i swear lego games used to have like 200 characters, yes a bunch were generic but still:P
  • @2 & 3 He's not high at all; He's just English.
  • Cannot wait for this game, I have always loved Marvel.
  • Loved Lego Batmans. I hope that this one has my favorite Marvel characters - The Punisher, Fantastic 4, Dr. Doom, and Daredevil.
  • Well screw that. I want this game NOW. Let me call up Cable and Bishop and have them get me a copy now.
  • Am I the only person that thinks that its just wrong for the characters to have actual voices? They were much better in the original Star Wars titles when it was just a mumble they had!
  • the mumbles wer cool and made situations funny with inuendos
  • @11 - Exactly mate! Especially when Vader was telling Luke that he was his father! lmao
  • Like this game already. Favorites are Venom, Loki and Nick Fury. Question, are Watchmen also Marvel, or is it DC Comics?
  • I don't know why Ratchet is dressed up as Spiderman, but hey, awesome! (Yes I know that voice actor does the voices for both characters. Have to explain this or idiots will miss the blatantly obvious joke and try to correct me because they are idiots)
  • Anyway, after LEGO City Undercover, I have only one thing to say to this: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
  • @10: No voices worked when they were doing a simple parody of something like Star Wars or Indy and you already know what the story is. But how are they going to tell original stories like LEGO Batman 2, LEGO City Undercover, and LEGO Marvel without some kind of voices or dialog? You'd have no idea what was going on.
  • @16 - There is no need to be abusive! All I was doing was voicing my opinion.
  • I love the Hulk. Hulk Smash ftw. Day 1 buy for me
  • @19 And that is related to Marvel/LEGO (Or games in general) how? I bet that 1 thumbs up was yourself. Pathetic spammer. I hope to have this and LEGO Lord of the Rings before Christmas - so long as they don't release another before then.
  • make a lego ghostbusters next! :)
  • @13 watchmen are dc
  • @17 He's not being abusive, he's explaining why there's voices in the game. To be fair Lego Lord of the Rings had voices and although that was explained as certain moments needing voices it still took away from the humor but like he said in an original story like Lego Batman 2 had and the story Lego Marvel Super Heroes is going to have TT need to add voices.
  • I wanna see some deadpool action!!
  • For some reason I wish this wasn't lego, could have a TON of more potential.
  • Deadpool on the wall behind him? Sold. Also, I couldn't quite tell, but is this going to be free roam like how Lego Batman 2 was? That'd be great!
  • I hope the Comic version of the characters is available, because from the previews the games is Lego Marvel Cinematic version.
  • Day one for me. I love the Lego game series and they just seem to develop into a better game each time. I'm a huge batman fan so batman 2 is my favourite but with this one including iron man this will be a strong contender
  • awesome i love lego games
  • I love lego games so i can't wait for this one to come out.
  • wolverine needs his mask all the games with him lately he is jeans and shirt
