LEGO Marvel Avengers: Code Red (2023)
MovieOptionalLegacy
The LEGO Avengers take on a new threat in a comedy special made for Disney+. This 2023 Marvel film was made outside Marvel Studios’ main MCU line-up, so it’s optional for the watch order and works fine on its own. At 45 minutes, it streams on Disney+ in the US.

About LEGO Marvel Avengers: Code Red
Code Red is a Disney+ special in the Lego Marvel Avengers line, which tells standalone, comedy-driven Avengers stories in Lego form. This one brings in two characters MCU fans will recognize: Red Guardian, the Alexei Shostakov version of the Soviet super-soldier, and the Collector, the cosmic hoarder of rare objects.
Atomic Cartoons made the special with Marvel, and it premiered on Disney+ in October 2023. Trevor Devall voices Red Guardian and Haley Joel Osment voices the Collector. It follows Lego Marvel Avengers: Climate Conundrum (2020) and Time Twisted (2022), and it was followed by Mission Demolition (2024) and Strange Tails (2025), so it sits in the middle of an ongoing run of standalone Lego Avengers stories. That run began on YouTube and Disney XD before moving to Disney+.
Good to know
- Red Guardian is the same character David Harbour plays in Black Widow and Thunderbolts*, here in brick form.
- The Collector has been part of the Guardians of the Galaxy corner of the MCU since Benicio del Toro played him in 2014.
- Earlier entries in the line include Climate Conundrum (2020), which premiered on YouTube and Disney XD, and Time Twisted (2022) on Disney+.
- Atomic Cartoons, the studio behind it, also made Iron Man and His Awesome Friends (2025).
How to watch it
Code Red stands on its own, so you don't need the earlier Lego specials, though Time Twisted (2022) is a good warm-up. Follow it with Mission Demolition (2024) if your family enjoys it. It's best for kids and families, and for fans who like the Avengers in a lighter mood. Knowing who Red Guardian and the Collector are from the MCU adds to the jokes, but it isn't necessary.
