Wolverine was already a hugely prominent figure at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, largely due to the release of Marvel Studios' record-breaking _Deadpool & Wolverine _ movie, which came to theaters around the same time as the convention was on. Marvel Studios had a panel for the movie on Thursday night in which it screened the entire film to fans before bringing out an impressive panel consisting of Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, director Shawn Levy, actors Ryan Reynolds - who also served as a co-writer and producer on the film, Hugh Jackman and Emma Corrin, and several guest appearances that were kept secret as they were major spoilers for the f

While **Marvel's Spider-Man seems to have greater web swinging than Marvel Rivals ** so far, especially with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 giving players the option to make this more physics-based by turning off the swing assist, there is one area that Marvel Rivals seems to be doing better than Insomniac. In the interior levels of the Marvel's Spider-Man games, Peter and Miles are usually encouraged to use web zip to get around - or web lines in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - but climbing from walls to the ceiling has always felt a bit clunkier compared to the rest of the characters' movem

Most interestingly, X-Men: Days of Future Past would have involved interactions between two different incarnations of the X-Men. Xavier and Magneto, more firmly established as respective leaders of the X-Men and the Brotherhood, would be faced with the horrific reality of the world their conflict would create. It's possible the two Wolverines would come mind-to-mind, in a similar scene to the one in which James McAvoy's Charles Xavier met his future self, played by Patrick Stew

With developer NetEase Games granting players access to **Marvel Rivals ** ' closed alpha on May 9, players have had a better look at the role-based multiplayer title, and have been able to analyze each hero's gameplay in depth based on clips that have been shared online. As is to be expected within any fandom, this footage has sparked debates regarding how they compare to past appearances of the characters in titles such as Marvel's Avengers or Marvel's Spider-Man , or even specific seasons of Fortni

It is worth noting that **FleurashDesign does state that Spider-Man's controls do take some getting used to in Marvel Rivals , ** and calls the fan-favorite hero " the hardest character to use in the game " which could be one of the factors as to why Insomniac Games has yet to include something similar in its series. A previous Spider-Man title, Web of Shadows features combat that moved fluidly from being on the walls to midair to ground-based, and it's a shame this has yet to be replicated in a title since. This could be because normally most of the criminals Spider-Man faces are on the ground, whereas that title had symbiotes to fight on the side of the buildings, but with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 having a similar kind of symbiotic threat in its third act, it's a shame this kind of wall and ceiling-based combat didn't ret

Clearly, this film would have been set in 1963, just a year after the events of X-Men: First Class , and it would have presumably continued the story of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. Vaughn wanted to add two new characters to the X-Men team roster; a recast Wolverine , who he imagined played by someone like Tom Hardy, and another unnamed character who was designed to match Magneto. " As Professor X is in a wheelchair, Magneto needs to have a nemesis he can fight with, " Vaughn explained to MovieWeb . " Someone that will be his equal. " It's likely this would actually have been Jean G

Use Aquatic Dominion to summon a Monstro Spawn to strike at enemies, then use the Trident of Neptune to reduce the cooldown of Aquatic Dominion. Hit an enemy with Wrath of the Seven Seas to command all Monstro Spawns to launch enhanced attacks

The reality is that Matthew Vaughn's X-Men plan would have taken the franchise in a very different direction - and a far more preferable one. It's true that there were risks. It's entirely possible viewers wouldn't have taken to a recast Wolverine, for example, particularly given that character isn't supposed to age. And yet, there'd have been an undeniable sense of momentum, with the stakes continually increasing; character arcs would have been far more organic, with Xavier and Magneto developing in logical and consistent ways, while Jean Grey's Dark Phoenix turn would have carried a greater impact. Fox had their own visionary, but they chose to ignore him, opting for the short-term win inst

**In Marvel Rivals , however, Spider-Man can go straight from a wall-run - a mechanic that is also in Marvel's Spider-Man and is far quicker than wall crawling - into running along the ceiling ** , as shown in a clip shared by FleurashDesign on X. While its exclusion in Marvel Rivals Patch Notes's Spider-Man is not game-breaking, it is something that would make sense for the character to have and would make indoor traversal a bit quicker and varied, and several other players responded to FleurashDesign's post by tagging Insomniac directly and requesting such a feature in a future ti
