Marvel Rivals has fulfilled every comic book gamer’s ultimate fantasy. The creators finally took their shot to dive into the world of a fast-paced PvP shooter filled with iconic Marvel characters. From the fan favorite heroes such as Spider-Man, Hulk, and Iron Man to fearsome villains such as Venom, Magneto, and Loki.

There are different playstyles for each of these characters, and the players love to experiment with each one. The creators also love to keep things fresh. They give the fans something new each season to keep them coming back for more. The game is currently in Season 4 and has new upcoming characters set to join.

New glimpses from the season have already shown two new characters joining the roster. However, datamine leaks have also given us some crucial information about which characters could be coming to Marvel Rivals next.

Confirmed Characters for Season 4

As soon as the glimpses for season 4 of Marvel Rivals dropped, fans went nuts. Not only were they getting treated to a Vanguard character, Angela, right off the bat, but Daredevil was coming along to join the roster as well. Season 4 is set in the mystical city of K’un-Lun.

Angela’s inclusion in the roster offers a heavyweight aerial offense for the players. Her addition to the game also adds to the continuing lore of the game from Season 3. After Hela escaped from Knull’s clutches, from the previous season, it seems her long-lost sister has come to deliver justice from the heavens now.

As for Matt Murdock, his addition in the game is confirmed for the season 4.5 patch. It’s set to launch on October 10, 2025. Daredevil is also confirmed to be a duelist character, that’s made fans even happier. It certainly suits his brand of justice as well.

Leaked Characters for Marvel Rivals

Dataminers and leakers struck their gold in Marvel Rivals and revealed all the information to the world. There’s been some huge information revealed about potential characters that could join the hero shooter foray. All of these leaks also suggest that the next cast of characters is going to dive a lot deeper into the X-Men. So, perhaps that’s something to be a bit excited about.

However, these might still be potential ideas for the game or a work in progress so far. So, please take all of this information with a pinch of salt. None of the characters that we’re going to speak about now have been confirmed as of yet.

We’re going to list off the most notable names that are likely to join Marvel Rivals. These are the characters that have the most information about them from the leaks.

Deadpool

One of the most popular characters that might join Marvel Rivals soon is Deadpool. According to several leaks and references, Wade Wilson could be coming to slice and dice everyone. These references contain mentions of him from Spider-Man, subtly mentioning him as the ‘loosest cannon.”

The Merc with a Mouth has garnered considerable fanfare over the last decade. So, we’re sure a lot of fans are going to flock to use him in battle. Deadpool is likely going to be a Duelist as well, with similar self-healing mechanics to Wolverine.

Professor X

Professor X’s name has shown up a lot of times in the leaks of the game. His appearance has been teased since the season 2 Krakoa Map. However, it looks like the leader of the X-Men is set to join the roster as well.

His character is noted to be one of the closest to completion, and he’s been listed as a Strategist. This playstyle is going to fit Charles Xavier to a T as well, considering his mutant abilities and leadership personality.

His abilities in the game have also been leaked, which include X-Men Collection, Potential Stimulation and Mind Projection. These abilities could focus on him being a solid support character for his team. We could see him manipulating his enemies with his telepathic powers or shielding his allies from any harm.

Rogue and Gambit

A big leak has revealed the upcoming themes in development for season 5. After taking a tour of K’un-Lun, Marvel Rivals is going to make things spicier, with season 5 set to be about Romance and Love. The two characters that are going to fit perfectly for this theme are Rogue and Gambit.

The two lovebirds have been involved with each other for the longest. It makes sense for this duo to be included in the game together if the creators are going for a season about romance. NetEase has been listening to the fans as well lately, and having an ear to the ground might have turned out well.

The reported “Romance and Love” season 5 is set to come out sometime between 8 November and 8 December. We’ll have to wait around for season 5 to see how the potential romantic theme pans out.

Cyclops

Cyclops has been a huge fan-favorite amongst the X-Men. Many fans have been calling for NetEase to include Scott Summers in the game, and their wishes could come true. Leaks have provided a detailed look into his abilities.

• Snapshot Blast
• Optic Stream
• Wide-Angle Blast
• Ricochet Blast
• Optic Recoil

Speculation about his Ultimate has also been released. The move has him taking the protective Visor off his eyes to unleash a massive beam upon all of his enemies. Cyclops' beam powers seem almost reminiscent of Iron Man in the game. So, perhaps this is a more grounded version of Tony Stark.

Other Notable Leaked Characters

The leaks and datamines have provided insight into other characters from the game files. However, there’s not much info regarding any of them.

• Captain Marvel
• Nightcrawler
• MODOK
• The Hood
• Colossus
• Beast
• Quicksilver
• Paste Pot Pete/The Trapster
• White Fox
• Valkyrie
• Jia Jing/Sprite
• Valkyrie
• Locus
• Amaranth
• Hive
• Forge
• Jubilee
• Hit-Monkey
• Dazzler
• Crystal

Out of all these characters from this list, the most popular names are Captain Marvel, Nightcrawler, Beast, Colossus, and Quicksilver. However, it seems NetEase has more off-ball and comedic options, such as Paste Pot Pete, and MODOK, on its mind as well to offer some variety to the roster.

Conclusion

Marvel Rivals already has one of the coolest casts of characters in the hero-shooter genre. NetEase has kept things fresh each season as they bring in new heroes and villains aboard to join the roster. With Angela and Daredevil now joining the game, it seems that the creators will keep building on this idea. The fans will always be happy to see them push out even more characters in the game with each season.
