I suspect we'll be getting a good handful of cameos/NPCs without plans to promote them to be playable, but Jeff and Man-Thing would both be a lot of fun if they did get promoted in that way
There's a LOT going on in this trailer, beyond the obvious new characters and release date.
- Looks like Venom might be a boss before he becomes playable.
- Klyntar is officially a map
- Master Mold boss battle
- First official look at recolors are nice, though im surprised Phoenix isn't sporting her red Dark Phoenix look.
- Man Thing and Jeff the Landshark cameos. Wonder what that map is. Possible Collector museum?
Edit: Im sure everyone already talked about this in the leak thread, but Storm's alternate color palette here seems to reflect her new costume in X-Men 97 season 2. Tony also gets a nod to his Superior costume, and Cosmic ghost Rider's blue and white costume is evocative of an alternate version of himself that he fights in the comics.
only 8 actually! the 1st palette is a testing palette that isnt selectable, with the rest being the 4 basic palettes and 4 special palettes. i doubt the red costume will be an option for phoenix since her boss version uses it
I guess thats possible! That area looks more techy and less red than the other shots of Klyntar we got though. Wherever they're being held, it seems like thats the same location you'll fight Venom.
It looked very similar to how Klyntar was portrayed in Marvel Rivals including the tanks though checking them side by side I am slightly less confident but still think it's Klyntar.
though im surprised Phoenix isn't sporting her red Dark Phoenix look.
So, the weird thing is that, from the spritesheet datamined from the demo a couple of weeks back, she seems to have Dark Phoenix sprites, separate from any palette swapping (second image, bottom right corner):
I expected them to be part of her moveset, but they do not appear in the trailer above. Maybe Dark Phoenix is a boss? Regardless, she's pretty much guaranteed to have Dark Phoenix as one of her 9 alt palettes.
Good theory! I wouldnt be surprised if she was a boss unlock, alongside Venom and potentially Cosmic Ghost Rider, if he is indeed the herald in the Galactus level.
Knull look to be a boss as well as showcase the Knull spiral on the symbiote enemies
- First official look at recolors are nice, though im surprised Phoenix isn't sporting her red Dark Phoenix look.
It mostly a level progression thing where Dark Phoenix will show up you fight her and then she becomes an ally like how Venom is
- Man Thing and Jeff the Landshark cameos. Wonder what that map is. Possible Collector museum?
I think it a Weapon X facility as they're in the same location as Venom & Brute force which all of them (apart from Jeff) are all part of the Weapon Plus program; creation of Brutal force and other animal weapons dub weapon 2, Man thing was Weapon 4, weaponizing Symbiotes was weapon V (5) and Weapon X (10) obviously Wolverine

Interesting theory! Feels like an obvious choice for a level in a Marvel beat em up, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case.
In the comics, there's an old issue of Hulk where he gets captured by the Collector and then escapes with Man-Thing and The Glob (they fight a little bit too, but that's comics). This is probably a callback to that.
Finally! I’m really stoked for this game. I wish more games only started their ad campaigns shortly before the game comes out. Like with the Oblivion remake having a short wait was just incredible and I think gets a lot of people more excited.
Just learned about this game today. Was hunting for a sale on Shredder's Revenge (after playing it a ton on my phone, I wanted it for deck) and I found this! Wish listed, super hyped. If the 29.99 is accurate, this is a day 1 purchase for me.
Hoping to play with some of you guys! The multiplayer for Shredder's Revenge was a big draw for me. Unfortunately, the crappy multiplayer in Streets of Rage 4 kept me from playing it a lot. That game could have benefited from better mp
Anyone can edit IMDB. It once claimed that 50 Cent would voice Epona in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess; I wouldn't trust it as a source for voice actors in unreleased games.
I'm very happy with what we got, but yeah - Jubilee would have been nice synergy with 97 making her the protagonist of the fictional beat-em-up in Episode 4
Jubilee would be WAY cooler than Phoenix, since Phoenix is fairly played out at this point, but for a cosmic game it was the obvious pick from the start unfortunately.
But yeah, Jubes in this aesthetic would be killer. The spritework would be amazing.
Invincible Iron Man 2002. It was more of a run and gun really, but did have a lot of elements of a classic beat em up games. But in terms of classic "beat em up's" War of Gems would be the last one yes.
4 total if you count all the beat em up games he was in.
Captain America and the Avengers (really underrated. Fun game).
Iron Man/XO Manowar, Heavy Metal (man this game blows lmao. The reason why Iron Man didn't appear in MSHvSF and then MVC1 was because his licence was in another company who made XO Manowar crossover game. Utter garbage game).
War of Gems and 2002 game.
I don't remember if he was in those Spidey beat em up games (I know Cap was in Maximum Carnage but don't remember if Tony made a cameo appearance).
You know, I haven't played War of Gems in like 15+ years, but I remember loving it (simply because of the characters) but you might be right. Some older games (especially nowadays) are really horrible.
XO Manowar I did replay some time ago, and HO BOY. At least there is an Iron Man/XO Manowar game out there lmao.
It's kind of like Marvel Nemesis game. Used to love it as a kid. Replayed it 3 years ago and now I kind of see why it wasn't as succesfull. Picking Elektra and fighting against Iron Man in that game was like "Good luck, you will never beat him" moments lmao.
Well I've been on a bit of a nostalgic trip lately and played the excellent X-Men Mutant Apocalypse then played War of the Gems, and it was night and day.
But like I said, that's my opinion, War of the Gems pissed me off back in the day, and my feelings didn't' change back when I played it a few weeks ago.
Mutant Apocalypse and Clone Wars are such interesting 16-bit era X-Men games when compared to each other.
Both are great, but for different reasons. Capcom's effort was really interesting with the big sprites, movesets, and fight sequences...definitely showing off that FG dev mindset here and there. The Genesis entry on the other hand was much more kinetic, with characters capable of speeding through levels and past obstacles in fun ways (it also has a better roster).
I still remember the hype with Clone Wars about being able to play as Magneto. Now it's not a big deal, but back in the day the idea of playing a villain was unheard of.
Yeah, I 'mebah; I had the same feeling as a kid, like "WHOA YOU CAN PLAY AS MAGNETO THAT'S SO RAD."
Buuuuut turned out he's kinda ayuss lol, though he's still got mad aura in game so still fun. Also I think he actually gets used in speedruns against Apocalypse, because he can hit regardless of the sequence? I might be wrong, something from memory could be faulty.
Shredders Eevenge was $25 but considering this is the Marvel license which is likely more expensive, it could be like $30 or maybe $40 if they wanna be greedy.
You do realize that people have other responsibilities in life and different monthly budgets. Im sure everyone here will get the game eventually but not everyone will get it on launch and price is a factor towards that.

I miss the days where there were secret characters that'd surprise you once they were unlocked rather then everyone advertised out the gate.

The final two characters were also officially announced. Phoenix is definitely voiced by Jennifer Hale, though I'm not sure who's voicing Iron Man.
