Last year they jumped "a year ahead" when it came to the SDCC sets. Last year we got Dr. Strange even though his movie wasn't until this year. There's also some years where they don't really tie in at all (Thunderbolts). They also tend to be comic-based and only indirect tie-ins to the movies.

Next year's Marvel films are GotG 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Thor: Ragnarok. Unless they did some kind of "cosmic 2" set I don't see a movie tie-in for next year being likely, and with an X-Men wave and a Dr. Strange wave on the docket for later this year I don't see either of those getting a set this year. So it'll probably be a "random" wave.

Completely Random/shot-in-the-dark guess: It'll be a "Shadowland/Daredevil" set with Daredevil (Shadowland), Typhoid Mary, Lady Bullseye, Bullseye (New Sculpt), Colleen Wing (to go with Misty Knight), and Wilson Fisk/Kingpin (Oversized figure...later repainted in a Spider-Man Legends wave). An indirect tie-in to the Daredevil Netflix series.

Mostly guessing that just because I don't forsee them doing a "Daredevil Legends" series anytime soon and it'd be a good way to get out some DD-based characters.
