Initially, **Marvel Rivals was only confirmed for PC, but it was officially announced for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S ** during the May 2024 State of Play broadcast . So what seemed like a missed opportunity for the game is now completely avoided since it will be coming to consoles. Nowadays, excluding large portions of potential players has become a high price for games, especially when trying to compete with other popular titles. Some big titles, like Valorant, CSGO 2, and Helldivers 2 , have been able to overcome not releasing only on certain platforms, but those are outliers rather than the stand

Dr. Doom's cold stare is relentlessly set on world domination and the wife of Reed Richards. In Fantastic Four Volume 3 #27, Sue Richards and Dr. Doom wed. However, it was only Doom in body and the consciousness belonged to her loving husband, R

The MCU has been facing some issues lately; 2023 saw two major box office disappointments in the form of The Marvels and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania . Quantumania is also now the lowest-ranked MCU movie according to critics on Rotten Tomatoes . The Disney+ series, Secret Invasion , also earned a very low Rotten Tomatoes score and drew criticism for its use of AI. On top of this, Jonathan Majors, who was set up as Marvel's new main villain, was convicted of assault and harassment and subsequently fired from the

X-Men: First Class was a huge success, and back in 2011, Vaughn indicated that he wanted to continue the franchise by exploring the assassination of JFK . " I thought it would be fun to open with the Kennedy Assassination, " he explained to Hitfix , " and we reveal that the magic bullet was controlled by Magneto. That would explain the physics of it, and we see that he’s pissed off because Kennedy took all the credit for saving the world and mutants weren’t even mentione

Marvel Rivals Strategy Rivals having crossplay would be a huge boost for the game. At worst, it is doing the bare minimum of what the majority of players expect from AAA games nowadays. However, if done well, it can be an amazing bridge across the community and prove to be a pillar for the game. As enjoyable as the game needs to be, a supporting and engaging community is one of the important aspects of longevi

Therefore, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for Marvel Games and Insomniac to also provide a better look at Marvel's Wolverine , even if it's a new teaser trailer like the leaked one that revealed the character's costumed look and some of his enemies in the game, to jump on this hype surrounding the character. Admittedly, with SAG-AFTRA video game actors going on strike as of Friday, July 26th, over AI concerns - and rightly so, in my opinion - it's clear that there wouldn't be a panel for the game in the same way that there was for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 last year, but some kind of update would have been nice after three ye

It's worth noting that The Marvels does include characters like Nick Fury who aren't women, and both Black Panther movies don't have all-Black casts as Peltz claims. Regardless, it is clear Peltz does not support the creative decisions being made by Feige and Mar

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

It's possible that Sony may be holding back from showing more of Marvel's Wolverine to save it for part of its own PlayStation Showcases ** first - much as it did with the initial reveal back in September 2021 - or that the game could make an appearance at August's Gamescom event instead. This year's Gamescom is reportedly the biggest yet, and while there have been reports that Sony may be missing it this year, a press release by Pyramid International stated that "the heroic tales of Marvel" will be part of its lineup. Of course, this could be referring to other titles such as Marvel Rivals or the upcoming Captain America and Black Panther-led Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra , so only time will tell. Hopefully, we will see more of Insomniac's critically acclaimed Marvel Universe soon, even if its absence at San Diego Comic-Con** does feel like a bit of a missed opportun

Marvel Gaming revealed its new, Marvel Studios-esque branding at the convention to further synergize the overall Marvel brand alongside a new cinematic trailer for its multiversal third-person hero shooter, Marvel Rivals . The Marvel Rivals footage gave players their first look at the game's versions of Dr. Doom and came alongside the announcement of two new characters that are joining the game's current Closed Beta playtest, Thor and Jeff the Land Shark, the latter of whom stole the show in some adorable foot
