Maybe at NYCC.
It's an unproven property movie. So at most it'll get a single two pack. Probably skipped for now maybe. Though I could see them maybe pushing the two pack towards December as part of an expansion of the same two packs we got with Black Panther & Agent 13. I think this is one of those instances where the 4'' collectors are going to have to either wait until the Infinity War movie or a sequel.

If the movie proves strong enough though, I could see it as a figure promo to coincide with the home media release of the film. He's definitely on the list of 'characters to make for the MCU 4'' lines' but he's not exactly high on the list either yet. If Thor Ragnarok gets a 4'' line though, I could see them maybe finding a way to slot it in there. This would be the first Thor movie without some kind of 4'' merchandise, but then again Cap 3 was the first movie Cap didn't get one either.

So far the Pattern has varied, but IM1 was 6'' only. Ironman 2 was pure 4''. Cap 1 & 2 as well as Thor 1 $ 2 were pure 4'', and Avengers 1 was pure 4''.

Ironman 3 needed to vary it up because IM2 was oversaturated still from its immediate success. GOTG 1 focused on the ships. And Avengers 2 and Cap 3 focused on the GOTG 1 mini figs.

So with GOTG 2, and maybe Thor 3, we're due for a return of at least minimalist 4'' maybe to prep for Infinity War with Avengers 3 now that it has some distance from the previous product lines. And I know they probably want to go all out for the Captain Marvel movie too with both 6'' and 4'' representation to bolster those. Too much hype to not and demand is reaching peak levels to sustain those lines for shelf-life and sales.
