Which New Marvel Characters Should Join Marvel Rivals Next?

Marvel Rivals is out now, which allows players to pick their favorite superhero or villain and battle it out against others in a beautiful third-person shooter. This game already has a massive roster of characters, but there are some new Marvel Rivals characters that we would like to see in the future.

Currently, there around 33 characters you can play as, which is honestly a pretty impressive number for a new game like this. That said, there are some notably missing characters in the lineup. It is a shame that there aren’t more X-Men or villains available. Here is who the staff members here want to see show up next. Some of these because of their potential movesets and others because we just adore these characters so much.

Siliconera Speaks Up: New Marvel Rivals Characters We Need

Please. I need Cyclops to so bad. I just think it would be neat. And that’s all I really gotta say about that! — Kazuma

I agree with Kazuma that this game seriously needs more X-Men and mutant representation. I’d second another X-Men and say I’d like to see Jean Grey, specifically, in her Phoenix form. For me, the Marvel supervillain I’d like to see the most in Marvel Rivals next would be Thanos. Thanos rose to popularity so quickly in the MCU and with some of the more obscure characters in Marvel Rivals, it is a bit surprising the guy who snapped half a galaxy away isn’t included. It would be ridiculous and hilarious to see how his moveset would work, especially if the Infinity Gauntlet is involved. — Cody
