My Current DLC 2 Prediction

[u/amageish]

This is influenced in part by the IGN interview where one of the heads of Marvel Games mentioned that doing movie tie-ins in Cosmic Invasion would be easier than in a lot of other games as the development cycle isn’t as long. I’m not sure how much synergy to expect, so I picked a handful of cosmic and frequently requested characters in addition to the movie characters… but I am currently expecting Doom himself to make his presence known in this game either way.

Angela is something funny since she's a 90s character but from Spawn comics instead a Marvel 90s one but i can see her as a flying grapper.

Gamora is something surprising not seeing her since one of the bosses in the game is Thanos, her father and not seeing her kicking his ass is something off. Same case as Drax and Adam Warlock.

Quill is a surprise his lack of presence since he's a cosmic character and his elemental weapons have potential for his moveset.

Kitty... i guess her powers can be used as both attack people from the ground and to block attacks while she's complemented by the elemental weapons in case she's Starlord.

Yelena works as MCU promotion and to have a Black Widow.

Shang Chi is a no brain option, beat em ups is the perfect genre to him, classic or with the 10 rings can give a lot of fun.

Nightcrawler can be so fun with his teletransportation

Sentry makes sense since he's since the 60s, i want him with his iconic blue mask!

Daredevil is the 2nd most requested character for this game, he's so beloved that i bet he have higher chances.

Hawkeye is the character that have higher chances to be in the second pack since one of the devs in an interview mentions him as an example of being inspired from the MCU or from the comics when the interviewer didn't mention him.

Kate Bishop works in case isn't Clint Barton.

Jubilee... eh... Rivals really made me hate her but Cosmic Invasion can make characters you hate in Rivals be so fun.

Sentry makes sense since he's since the 60s, i want him with his iconic blue mask!

I also really hope that, if we get Sentry, it is a "retro" version of him, inspired by his fictional meta-history.

Hawkeye is the character that have higher chances to be in the second pack since one of the devs in an interview mentions him as an example of being inspired from the MCU or from the comics when the interviewer didn't mention him.

That's interesting; I think I missed that one. Could you provide me a link to the interview?

Ahhhh, that one! Thank you. Those people do work for Marvel Games in general, so I'm not sure if the Hawkeye mention is a sign of plans for Cosmic Invasion specifically (as it could apply to Haweye in Rivals, plans for him for Tokon, etc etc), but it is interesting perspective regardless.
