David Jenkins had an interview where he talked with Mike Evans about the gameplay and characters that might make their way to the game. It's an interesting look at what properties capcom has heard being wanted for the series. I'm glad Dino Crisis wasn't listed as one of those properties no one on the team has heard about. The article is quite lengthy and worth a read. The bit about Doc Ock and Asura is especially interesting. There was also a small snippet about Mike Evans being a big fan of Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)

Power Stone & Onimusha characters not considered in great demand

GC: So you're absolutely going to go back to the office and report that there is huge demand for a Power Stone character?
ME: Since it's the first time I've heard this I wouldn't say it's great demand but...

GC: Anyone from Onimusha?
ME: We haven't heard that one, no.

Squirrel Girl

GC: Have you heard of definite plans to include her in the base game?
All: [laughs]
ME: That's fantastic! [laughs] I've heard of Squirrel Girl, that's all I can say.
GC: Have you heard of Tippy-Toe?
ME: No, that's one I haven't heard of.
GC: Gah! If you knew who Tippy-Toe is it would be an indication that Squirrel Girl was actually in the game. Darn...
ME: I'm not trying to Tippy-Toe round the situation.
GC: [stern look] Tippy-Toe is her best squirrel friend.
PR woman: [looking up Squirrel Girl on her phone] Tippy-Toe goes with Monkey Joe, I've just learnt.
GC: Sadly, Monkey Joe died.
ME: Aww! Dreams shattered. And you said you weren't a Marvel fan!

Dino Crisis

GC: I just said I was a bigger DC fan. But I do really like Squirrel Girl, it's a very funny comic book. Alright now, just quickly. These are Capcom characters I noticed a lot of other people asking for, that I'd also be really keen on: Regina or anyone from Dino Crisis?
PR woman: You're always asking me for more Dino Crisis!
ME: Dinosaurs are cool!
GC: Okay, so Dino Crisis is definitely in it?
ME: [laughs – followed by elongated conversation on how to pronounce Regina, ending in no consensus]
(In the Asura interview it's mentioned that Dino Crisis and Asura come up often in youtube Most Wanted for MVC videos)

Asura

GC: Asura? I always worry I'm not pronouncing that right, the big guy with the six arms.
ME: There are no announcements at this time regarding Asura's Wrath. [laughs]
GC: I tell you what, can you just tell me whether someone else has mentioned him up until this point? That would actually be a useful indicator.
ME: Okay, I've heard both of those before. Because I spent a good two months going through YouTube videos to see what people were interested in.

Doc Ock

GC: Okay, we'll just finish on Doctor Octopus, because I know he was one that almost made it into Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. So, this would be the perfect chance to add him.
ME: I cannot speak to this. But I hear he does have six arms.
GC: Err... yes, I guess. Wait, is that a clue about pairing him with Asura?
ME: ...

Xmen and Fantastic Four Characters heavily hinted at

GC: When this was first announced some fans theorised that the Marvel characters would only include those that Marvel has the cinematic rights to. That is the case so far, but is that going to be true for the whole game?
ME: No...
GC: It's nothing to be ashamed of, if it's all down to the lawyers.
ME: Totally, totally. No, but it's not. And if Marvel were here they would answer as I'm going to. It's not based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We take a lot of inspiration from the cinematic universe, but the game is a completely original universe.
GC: So you could have the Fantastic Four or X-Men in the game, if you wanted them?
ME: I can't say about that one.
GC: You can't say if you could?
ME: I... can't answer that question.
GC: You can't say if you could say if you could?
ME: Exactly! [laughs]
GC: [conspiratorially] You can have Doctor Doom though, surely?
ME: Oh, ah... I would say stay excited. We have many announcements coming. But you're not the first to ask that one!

I hope all of these come to fruition. Currently the revealed characters are all rather safe. But any one of these (Especially Regina) would be nice to see in the case of newcomers.

 

[TonberrysKnife]

No demand for Onimusha characters? Fuck outta here!

 

[BronsonLee]

I swear to god, Jaw

 

[rmanthorp]

I just want more Asura in my life

 

[TheDinoman]

Regina would be pretty neat. I imagine her being like Jill from MVC2, excepting she summons dinosaurs instead of zombies.

 

[Tizoc]

Jawmuncher post if your Ok-
*sees who made the thread*
Carry on then.

Wonder if we'd get Ultimate Doc Ock.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Regina being the dino version of MVC2 Jill would be some dope shit

 

[Dynomutt]

Asura deserves a re-master or current gen comeback...

 

[Hero Prinny]

of course this thread was made by you.

I'd honestly be surprised if Asura isn't in the game

 

[Dougieflesh]

I will main Asura no matter how trash he is.

 

[Brunire]

Seeing this reminds me just how many great characters Capcom has introduced over the years. Incredible.

On the Marvel side, Squirrel Girl would be amazing and I am really hoping she makes it in.

 

[Manmademan]

Wasn't the explanation for no Spiral in MVC3 that six arms was a pain to animate and deal with?

What changed for Ock and Asura?

 

[Son Of Sparda]

How did I know this was a Jaw thread before clicking on it?

Anyway, yes please. Add Asura to this game Capcom.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I knew Jaw was reaching. Hopefully she get in for the sake of your health

 

[Manu]

At this point I imagine Jawmuncher always has a Google search tab with "Dino Crisis" on it which he furiously F5's every 30 seconds or so.

 

[jorgeton]

We need Asura in this game. Capcpcom pls.

 

[Remapped88]

Gimme Asura, Gene and Batsu (or Akira) on Capcom's side please.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I swear to god, Jaw

I gotta eat just like everyone else

Wasn't the explanation for no Spiral in MVC3 that six arms was a pain to animate and deal with?

What changed for Ock and Asura?

There was a rumor of a character with "great" animations in the roster. So Doc or Asura with their arms could be in relation to that.

 

[BadWolf]

No Gene from God Hand, no bu...

Asura

... you have my attention.

 

[StoopKid]

I didn't read!

 

[E_Darkness]

No Gene from God Hand, no bu...



... you have my attention.

I'm still waiting for Gene.

Spoiler

But give me Liam O'Brien screaming at the top of his lungs again

 

[Nakazato]

Raptor in coming

 

[TheDinoman]

really wish someone would just ask about xmen

Uh...

GC: When this was first announced some fans theorised that the Marvel characters would only include those that Marvel has the cinematic rights to. That is the case so far, but is that going to be true for the whole game?
ME: No…
GC: It’s nothing to be ashamed of, if it’s all down to the lawyers.

[Melkezadek]

If Asura gets in, I'm in forever.

 

[BitStyle]

Gimme a powerstone rep, dammit!

 

[Nibel]

I swear to god, Jaw

.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Jawmucher's gonna love this

 

[Finale Fireworker]

It's funny because Mike Evans is abbreviated as "ME" so it looks like you're conducting the interview, Jaw.

"You're always asking me for more Dino Crisis!"

"Dinosaurs are cool!"

Like, it could be you!

 

[delSai]

Asura is a step in the right direction to get me interested

 

[Jawmuncher]

Uh...

I'll add this. Was hard to cover all of the info from the interview in the title

 

[Mariolee]

Uh...

IT'S HAPPENING

 

[BigEmil]

No demand for Onimusha characters? Fuck outta here!

First post nails it

 

[Graphics Horse]

"PR woman: You’re always asking me for more Dino Crisis!"

Lol
Now I'm suspicious of your identity, Jawmuncher.

 

[BY2K]

You lie to me.

 

[Gradon]

Would actually love Kamala Khan, Squirrel Girl and Regina! Hope we get some nice cast surprises.

 

[Palocca]

Asura would be godly.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

No Gene no buy.

 

[Neoxon]

I know that the rumors say no Fox guys until maybe 2018, but I hope we get them sooner.

I do fully expect Ms. Marvel, though.

 

[Gorilla Blade]

Jaw don't do this to yourself.

 

[Chance Hale]

Patrick Tyler and his jetpack will be a great addition.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Jaw please.

 

[HardRojo]

Asura HAS to be in. I demand it.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Kind of burying the lede with Z-tier franchises when he basically fesses up to X-Men and F4 characters, Jaw

 

[TreIII]

The hell they mean "Onimusha ain't in high demand"?!

Doesn't give me much hope for BASARA chars, either, then...

 

[Jawmuncher]

Patrick Tyler and his jetpack will be a great addition.

I'm glad not many people will realize how mean of a post this is

Kind of burying the lede with Z-tier franchises when he basically fesses up to X-Men and F4 characters, Jaw

It's been heavily rumored for awhile now, plus you know Dino Crisis bias and all that.

 

[Weiss]

This just seems like a generic response to having any character in the game.

 

[AdaWong]

Me: Jaw you really like to reach when it comes Regina

Also me: "We will add a lot of characters for this game" ADA WONG confirmed?

 

[Karsticles]

Hey Capcom, remember how Nina almost made it into UMvC3?

 

[BackwardCap]

I want Asura in the game but I won't hold my breath.

 

[Korigama]

Still no Gene, I see.
