Hopefully some RE2 representation due to the upcoming RE2 Remake (Claire Redfield, Ada Wong and Leon Kennedy?) and possibly some RE7 representation as well?
Polygon: Yes, a new Marvel vs. Capcom game is in development. (X-Men gone, MCU focus)

I think the main issue is how do you differentiate all these characters? I can see one of them taking on a role similar to MVC2 Jill with a mix of RE inventory and enemies as attacks, but otherwise where do you go from there?
The nice thing about MVC3 getting to use characters from RE5 is that RE5 was totally insane and ripe for different movesets between Chris, Jill, and Wesker.

In almost all cases that had characters from the MCU appear in or around the time of the movie release, they came as their classic comic book versions but with movie-based alt costumes, which is what I'd expect in MvC4's case as well.
There have been some exceptions to this rule where the MCU design is the default (e.g. Star-Lord dropped in the red coat and with the facemask rather than the comic book GotG uniform in I believe all games he came out for), but the vast majority have been comic designs.
And even then they can't use the actual actors' likenesses either, so it's all good.
Of course. I sincerely doubt we'll see Nuke in MvC. However, he still is part of the MCU roster, as are all the other characters mentioned. Point being is that the MCU cadre is quite extensive at this point.

Marketability is definitely part of what chooses these rosters, no doubt. As RE7 will be out by the time this releases and REmake 2 either will be coming out (or out, dependently), I could definitely see some representation from one or both games.
I'm curious how the roster in general will work, if rumors are all true then Marvel will be focused on marketability above all else, and to be honest I don't see Capcom doing much different. I bet both will toss in a couple oddball fan favorites into the mix, but I think to guess roster one would mainly have to think of what would be in the best interest for Marvel and Capcom.
Resident Evil 2 does stand a chance at a decent amount of representation with the remake though, which is exciting. From RE7 we don't know enough about the characters to fully say at this point. Though the idea of playing Jack Baker ("Welcome to the Family, Son!") against superheroes does tickle me a bit.

Idk, I imagine the overlap between Marvel fans and Capcom fans is a lot smaller than each individual fanbase. The crossover is just due to history now than anything.
I want a MCU fighter.
That's very casual or almost Smash Bros like.

I hope we can somehow get Venom back... I'm also curious about the possibility of Moon Knight.
If the game is coming, I hope they go down the SFV route with the revisions. The base game will be playable with all future patches. I love playing fighting games online and it is sad when no players are available for whatever reason. I purchased Skullgirls not long ago and no one's ever online. Playing against the CPU is boring imo.
MCU Vs. Star Wars is personally what I would like to see
I'm gladly way out of touch with Marvel comics at this point to be bothered by them focusing on the MCU. I used to read Thor and some of the cosmic stuff (I loved Nova and GotG) but the way those stories continued at a certain point made me lose all interest in comics. Not including the X-Men however is just disappointing, when I think of MvCs roster Wolverine is the first character that comes to my mind.

The gaming side of Marvel is probably still overseen by Ike Perlmutter (for those who don't know, he used to run all of Marvel and is a known penny-pinching tyrant, the guys making the Marvel films complained directly to Disney because he was such a pain in the ass to work with that Disney actually took control over the films away from him and gave Kevin Feige direct control, but Perlmutter still has control over the other Marvel stuff, and has a not-so-subtle beef with Fox and has been rather aggressively trying to basically replace the X-Men with the Inhumans), so an MCU focus isn't exactly surprising. Marvel was rather controlling of MVC3's roster, and they don't want to promote anything they don't have the movie rights for.
SSB game but with Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars.
He's having no trouble launching half a dozen new X-men comics though.

So many people are misinterpreting the whole MCU thing. The characters most likely aren't going to be based on their MCU counterparts and it's not going to be MCU-ONLY. The roster is just going to be focused around characters that appear in the MCU.

I hope we get Leo on the Capcom side, need some Warzard love but it's so highly unlikely.

What about Whiplash, Deathwatch, Wildside, Warblade, Wildstar, Warwolf, Darkhawk, Dreamslayer, Wildmane, Firebrand, Deadlock, Badrock, Shatterstar, Knightsaber, Forearm, Strongarm, Strongshot, Bloodaxe, Ripclaw, Smashbeef, Deadblast, Bulkhead, Deadlift, Ironstag, Rockgroin, and Bob Johnson?
I'm really in two (or even three) minds about the Marvel 4 news, if indeed all true.
On the one hand do I love the X-Men more than pretty much all other Marvel characters but on the other hand would I be glad to see some of the older X-Men based designs from the Vs series go to avoid having them back with the same exact move sets (that were quite often not that authentic to the actual character, let's be honest - Wolverine without re-gen, Magneto with energy blasts, a random small Sentinel being OP?) and top tier placement that makes every veteran player flock to them once more.
I think this series needs some freshing up for sure, especially to give new players a chance to get into as well, so in that sense I might actually applaud the removal of people like Dr. Doom, Magneto, Wolverine and especially Sentinel who have become far too integral to the Marvel lingo and culture (imo). At the same time having no X-Men at all, especially not redesigned ones, does suck if it's due to the usual licensing problems like Marvel not wanting to promote other studios' movies even if they still have comics in those series to promote themselves as well.
Embracing change and moving beyond the familiar generally is something I support but perhaps not if it's forced upon us as the result of backroom politics. I'm conflicted how to feel here, in other words. Yay for more Marvel at least I guess, even if this might come at the cost of a new Darkstalkers, Rival Schools or even a *gasp* new fighting game IP (all of which I might actually prefer at this point, which is another conflict raging inside me these past days)?

3 looked nothing like SF4.

X-Men will still be in this game. Mark my non-sourced words. Oh and say ello to S i g m a
We'll probably see their corpses littering the X-Mansion stage.
The burned out husk of the X-Mansion
If we are lucky itll be something like Xrd.

I agree. How can Wolverine not use his main ability at all? Hopefully the character designs in MvC4 feels more authentic.
That would be the easiest way for Capcom, but I don't think the character modeling and specially the animations would work in a mahvel game.
Everything in SFV looks and moves a lot heavier.

Can't wait to play such cool characters as "Starlord" and "Jessica Jones". So iconic compared to low tier scrubs like Dr. Doom or that nobody, Magnetor.

I know that, but Marvel 3 came out early on in the MCU, didn't it? Plus you have Injustice 2 using film Suicide Squad designs.

There will be plenty of iconic Marvel characters in this game...
It sucks to lose such iconic characters like "X-23" and "Super-Skrull." Instead we're stuck with lightweights like "Black Panther" and "Loki"
Not historically, but I'd bet money this one will have a robust one.q

Sure, but the whole project stinks honestly. Marvel vs Capcom should be exactly that. Not "Marvel Characters We're Currently Allowed to Use From the MCU vs Capcom". It's a whole wet towel on the thing.

Except no one is talking about losing those characters...Super Skrull was actually pretty cool in the game though.
Wow, this thread is still going strong.
But above all I just want him in so I can play as an invincible old hillbilly in a fighting game.
As for a fourth character, I have no idea. I'm gonna be really freaking upset if Wesker isn't in this, but I don't think he will be. Ada or Krauser could be really cool.
Just gonna repost this.
I know some would see Jack's inclusion as goofy or whatever since they're trying to make RE scary again, and I get it, but I still wouldn't be surprised if they did it. He could even use that axe or whatever it was he had in the trailers. Plus literally the first thing we ever saw him do was punch someone in the face, so he totally fits.

Meh, no xmen, well to be honest i was never a fan of capcom fighting games in general(they just don't click with me) so not a big loss in any case for me.
Are you telling me that Sony bought from Commodore(or whoever has the rights) the rights of the Amiga and that MvC4 will be the first exclusive of the new gaming computer Playstation Amiga?
If only :\
for those unaware that's the famous bouncing ball of the amiga, the amiga was an awesome and really innovative 16 bit computer that had lots of masterpieces(frontier elite 2, dune 2, xcom, sindicate, sim city, lemmings, worms, lucasarts adventure games and so on)
