I'm betting Sandman will be first (based on the clue in the sneak peek), followed by Vulture (because of the movie) then a 5* Spidey variant (again, because of the movie). I know there's already a 5* Spider-Man, but I'm guessing there will be another one (Peter Parker variant) - unless they dispense with the 4*-4*-5* pattern. They could also release a 4* Spidey followed by 5* Vulture, but that would kind of bury the lead as far as movie tie-ins (I'd think they'd want Spidey himself to be the main movie tie-in).
OTOH, if they follow the normal schedule, I think the next three releases will be on the 16th, the 30th, and July 14th, none of which exactly align with the movie's release (on the 7th?), so maybe they'll change up the schedule.
I'm also guessing there will be some kind of alliance/boss event for the movie release, maybe with a new boss (but probably just a repeat of an old one) - though we are actually overdue for a boss event already and waiting until the weekend of the 7th would put us even further behind.
Of course, all of this is just speculation on my part and may be completely wrong.
