While nothing is confirmed officially, here are all the upcoming Marvel Rivals heroes that might be on the way thanks to leaks and datamining.Every leaked Marvel Rivals character(Image credit: NetEase)Due to datamining models and other in-game files, many leakers have found references to a range of upcoming Marvel Rival characters that are seemingly being worked on. Obviously, with all of these, it’s mostly speculation based on information found in the files.

Out of the characters that still haven’t come to the game on that list, there are:Human TorchUltronMr. FantasticBladeInvisible WomanThe ThingConsidering the list had names like Wolverine, Squirrel Girl, and Moon Knight months before they were announced, there’s a strong chance we see these characters join the fray. This would also see the introduction of all four members of the Fantastic Four to Marvel Rivals, with that group currently being unrepresented on the roster. It’s also expected that these characters will be the ones landing first due to the age of the leak.There are even datamined images of Ultron out there, courtesy of X/Twitter account Marvel Rivals Leaks.New Character Leak‼️🔥ULTRON#MarvelRivals pic.twitter.com/FRY1splgehDecember 4, 2024A newer leaks suggests Ultron will be coming to Season 1 as a two star Strategist with the following abilities:Rage of Ultron- Summoning Ultron Drones to fire Encephalo Rays, damaging opponents and healing allies.Dynamic Flight- Quickly fly in the direction of movement and enter free flight.Imperative: Patch- Send a giant drone to follow and ally, constantly healing allies in a radius around it with extra healing for the targeted ally.Imperative: Firewall- Summon Drones to give bonus health to allies withing range, focused on Ultron and the ally marked with Imperative: Patch.Algorithm Correction- Hold Space to fall slowly.Ultron releases Season 1 and he’s a Strategist https://t.co/4gL8qZkIkEDecember 19, 2024However, that’s not all. Other names have turned up in the files of Marvel Rival’s builds. DataminerMatfaciohas mentioned references to three other characters in the form of:Captain MarvelHit-MonkeyAngelaFumo Leaksalso went into the Chinese build and found strong evidence thatJean GreyandEmma Frostare not too far off either.Miller Ross has also teasedThe Hoodfor Marvel Rivals too. For those unaware, the Hood is a Marvel villain who recentlytook on the Ghost Rider mantle. Whether this would be The Hood pre or post-Ghost Rider isn’t clear though as information seems limited.Matfacioalso mentions that there are references toDeadpoolpotentially being a playable character in the game files, but has cautioned about potential misdirection due to some irregularities with the files, saying, “I don’t want to fall into their trap”.Elsewhere, more officially, the game has featuredKnullandDoctor Doomin promotional material, though they aren’t currently playable. Two versions of Doctor Doom are the antagonists for Marvel Rival’s Season 0, and Knull turned up in the seasonallaunch trailer. They both have official art, so could become characters down the line.Full list of leaked Marvel Rivals characters(Image credit: NetEase Games / Marvel Games)Bringing all these leaks together, here’s the full list of leaked Marvel Rivals characters that have been reportedly datamined from in-game files:UltronHuman TorchMr. FantasticBladeInvisible WomanThe ThingCaptain MarvelHit-MonkeyAngelaEmma FrostJean GreyThe Hood (maybe Ghost Rider)DeadpoolAs ever, take these with a pinch of salt. Just because a character shows up in the files doesn’t guarantee that they will be released. It wouldn’t be the first time a developer has hidden red herrings in their code. It’s also not clear what kind of timeline this would be on either, as Marvel Rivals doesn’t yet have a precedence for character releases. We don’t currently know the cadence we should be expecting character releases to have.That said, it seems likely we will be hearing something about these characters at some point in the future.© GamesRadar+.
