Red Guardian's sudden disappearance turns a victory celebration into an urgent investigation in LEGO Marvel Avengers: Code Red, the latest brick-built outing for Marvel's team of heroes.
What is LEGO Marvel Avengers: Code Red about?
Fresh off a hard-won victory, the Avengers gather to celebrate, only for the party to be cut short when Black Widow's father, Red Guardian, vanishes without a trace. As the team digs into the disappearance, they realize he isn't the only one missing, and the trail leads them toward an adversary unlike anything they've previously faced. Balancing humor with genuine tension, the short feature moves the team from celebration to crisis scene to confrontation, testing how well this LEGO-built version of the Avengers can improvise against an unfamiliar threat.
Cast & crew
The English-language voice cast includes Laura Bailey, Trevor Devall, Haley Joel Osment, Steve Blum, Will Friedle, James C. Mathis III, Liam O'Brien, and Laura Post, several of whom have voiced Marvel characters across other animated projects.
Context & significance
Directed by Ken Cunningham, this Danish-American co-production runs a brisk 46 minutes, closer to a special than a full feature, and carries an IMDb rating of 5.5. As part of the long-running LEGO Marvel line, it leans on the franchise's familiar mix of comedic brick-based sight gags and simplified action beats aimed squarely at younger Marvel fans rather than adult viewers of the mainline films. The short's compact runtime keeps the mystery moving quickly, with each Avenger getting a brief moment to contribute a clue or a joke before the next scene shift.
Where & how to watch
LEGO Marvel Avengers: Code Red streams on K-Time with a Persian dub, so Farsi-speaking kids and families can follow the Red Guardian mystery without subtitles. The film's page is free to browse for anyone; watching the short itself only requires logging into a K-Time account. K-Time's search, categories, and recommendations are all presented in Farsi for the Iranian diaspora.
