It's assumed we'll get something from Thor, Spider-Man Homecoming and GOTG but nothing to my knowledge has leaked yet.

I do suspect though that next year is going to go something like this if they have 9 waves again (assuming that the second X-wave and Spider-man wave rumored are indeed for this year)

First third of year:

Spider-Man wave 1
GOTG wave 1
Wolverine

Second third of year:

Spider-man wave 2 (focusing on Homecoming)
GOTG wave 2
Thor wave 1

Final Third of year

Spider-Man wave 3
X-Men wave (technically second X-Men wave considering Wolverine but we'll just leave it at X-men wave)
Thor wave 2.

I'm saying all this because it's a very heavy movie year (3 and Wolverine!) and also if the X-wave does sell like I suspect it will, they may indeed try to do 2 X-related waves a year. Between that and the movies there isn't much room for a general Marvel/Avengers wave.

It's not a bad prediction, but I'm not sure I can see Hasbro doing two GOTG and two Thor waves. Maybe one for sure for GOTG, but with Thor he'll be lucky to even get one wave dedicated to him (and I wouldn't be surprised if there was one it would be Thor wave in name only the same way that Antman wasn't really an Antman wave).
