I suspect we'll see 7 waves again:

Avengers 2 waves (one of which has already been rumored/leaked).
Spider-Man 2 waves, (one of which has been mostly revealed)
Deadpool 1 wave (which has been mostly revealed)
X-Men 1 wave - (confirmed no reveals other than BAF)
Black Panther 1 wave (which has been partly revealed)

I do not think we'll get an Ant-Man wave, that may be incoporated into the Avengers Wave. Though I could be wrong, but that bumps the waves up to 8 a year, I'm not sure Hasbro is distribution and shelf space wise in a position to do that, considering that 7 waves a year seems to be a problem for half of he waves (mainly the 2nd wave of particular brands)

And I do not think we'll get a netflix wave, but that will be 2019. again, same reason for above.

If we got all 9 waves I bring up I think it would break all of us.
