I hope we get a good amount of villains. Maybe Punisher and Kingpin. Marvel's so hero-centric. Kingpin's always been my favorite Marvel villain tho. Michael Keaton's Vulture would be pretty sick.

What are the odds we'll see Quake? I think she and Coulson have been confirmed for Infinity War. Altho seemingly impossible, Kyle Mclaughlin's Mister Hyde would be sweet.

But really, Blade tho. This could be his intro line. I feel like I have to really lobby for him because he's generally pretty shit.

Very interested in the Capcom side too. Maybe we'll get Jack Baker, and he'll say Southernisms like "You gon' learn t'day!"

Anything but Donte, really.

Part of me hopes they bring back MvC1 assists, so we can have tons of characters included in some capacity.
 
Don't forget up-&-comers like (the new) Ms. Marvel. Hell, as mentioned before, I wouldn't be shocked if Marvel pulled a Future Fight & used Gwenpool as our Deadpool replacement.

Exactly, and with PLENTY of folks to choose from outside of the X/FF families. Not the end of the world, but people will keep throwing the MCU under the bus until we actually start seeing the roster.
 
So which heroes and villains would you want from an MCU roster ?

Daredevil / The Kingpin
The Punisher
Jessica Jones / The Purple Man
Luke Cage
Iron Fist

Nick Fury / Phil Coulson
Grant Ward (Hive)
Skye (Daisy Johnson / Quake)
Ghost Rider

Iron-Man / War Machine / The Mandarin / Ultron
Captain America / Winter Soldier / Falcon / Red Skull
Thor / Odin / Loki
Hulk / Abomination
Black Widow / Hawk Eye
Vision
Scarlet Witch
Quicksilver
Ant-Man + Wasp
Black Panther
Doctor Strange
Spider-Man / The Lizard / Electro
Guardians of the Galaxy
Thanos / Kree / Chitauri

Quite a few characters to pick from anyway, I guess only the movie characters will make the cut but would love to see some of the Agents of SHIELD and Netflix characters too.
 
Assuming 20 characters on each side, I think the base Marvel roster (before DLC) will look something like this (newcomers are in bold):

Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Spider-Man
Hulk
She-Hulk
Daredevil
Black Widow
Hawkeye
Ant-Man
Doctor Strange
Black Panther
Captain Marvel
Ms. Marvel
Groot
Rocket Raccoon
Winter Soldier
Ultron
MODOK
Dormammu

I did this under the assumption that each MCU character with their own movie and that that all of original Avengers line-up from the first Avengers movie would be represented (except the Guardians, which gets two reps at least), and that Capcom would push to keep certain characters like She-Hulk, Dormammu and MODOK. I think this roster is at least 70, maybe closer to 80% accurate. I am uncertain about a few things, though. Marvel might say no to She-Hulk and MODOK, and they might push Loki and Spider-Man villains.
 
MCU limit sounds weak sauce, and mostly sausage vs Capcom.
Even if Capcom can't convince Marvel to let them use Scarlet Witch (;_;), there's still...
  • Captain Marvel
  • Ms. Marvel
  • Black Widow
  • Gamora
  • Squirrel Girl
  • Medusa
  • Wasp
  • Mantis
  • Nebula
  • Gwenpool
  • Quake
  • Misty Knight
  • Elektra
  • Jessica Jones
 
I still don't believe the no X-Men part... refuse to believe until I see proof (but seeing the rumors it's likely to be true)

EX-Troopers-logo.jpg

Bren Turner: the modern age Jin Saotome. He can even have his mech to do a "BLODIAAA" styled hyper (but closer to Jojo styled rush punches). Has punches and kicks, super moves that could easily work as hypers, a jet pack to zip around, a grapple hook (though sadly context sensitive only), multiple weapons. He could definitely work. The only thing that works against him is that he's fairly obscure, Japan only, a bit too "anime" for Marvel, and not even that successful (nor a fan favorite due to Megaman Legend fans thinking EX Trooper replaced MML3)
I liked E.X. Troopers, I wouldn't mind getting Bren as a Capcom rep.

Not to mention feige has the entire MCU planned out til 2030 or some shit. Wouldn't be surprised if they were giving "suggestions" (read: orders) to the MVC team when it comes to character inclusions.

You think Dr Strange and Rocket Raccoon being added to UMVC3 was a coincidence? 😌

FTFY

I also wouldn't be shocked if they squeezed in another Inhuman or two beyond Ms. Marvel (probably Black Bolt & Quake).

Do you think the game will only have three villains in the base roster? I would be extremely surprised if so. Also I don't know about Quake. Maybe Ike Perlmutter or people that share his opinions would push for her because of the TV connection, but on the other hand not many people like her or even knows who she is. I think Ghost Rider is more likely simply because he's an established MvC character, is relatively popular, and is also an MCU TV character.

Most of the MCU villains weren't huge hits (MCU-Netflix aside), so it wouldn't surprise me. Plus I can't see them leaving out Star-Lord, the leader of the Guardians.
 
This might be a stupid question but does a new MvC game mean MvC2 will be available again on XBL marketplace? I forgot to redownload it before they removed it and so I can't play it.
 
  • Groot's apparently his own character.
  • I doubt that they'd leave Ms. Marvel or Daredevil out of this, even with the former not being introduced in the MCU yet (but she likely will be once Captain Marvel drops).

  • I meant either Rocket Racoon or Groot, or both.
  • Daredevil's on the list.
 
MCU is so fucking awful. If that's what it's going to be, I would rather they just partner with someone else. TvC2, Sega vs Capcom, Bamco vs Capcom, Nintendo vs Capcom, Capcom vs Capcom...
I don't know about awful, but I'm really starting to get tired of the MCU. And that surprises me because I'm such a superhero nerd it's absolutely pathetic.

I just feel like the MCU's novelty of having all these characters together is much better than most of their actual movies. And that's just one of my issues. There are a few good ones for sure, but yeah.

...Usually when I say this people release the fucking hounds.
 
Part of me is happy that the X-Men/FF aren't in, because the franchise has too many fan favorites that they admittedly felt obligated to put into MvC3.

Why does everyone's list contain hardly any villains?

This isn't something that Marvel excels so well in, particularly in the MCU.
 
Does anyone agree that the thirst for information has pretty much consisted of ruining some of gamings biggest surprises?

I know it's the nature of the beast but its like impossible to surprise your audience anymore

ie. Switch concept, scorpio, holy Trinity stony conference, this
 
I dunno how I feel about no x men, but truth be told I'm one of those guys who just really liked the 90s cartoon. My wants and desires are fueled on nostalgia without giving a fuck about whats modern and "in" these days.

Honestly though I think Whatever is modern should be more highlighted in a current game. I'm not one of those guys who would tell you. "if you wanna play this character just play one of the old games" but the direction that marvel is taking is with there movies. There really popular movies.

I still would like a bone cause of the history of the franchise. Even if it were dlc. 90s Xmen pack DLC. And with no care of being part of the problem I would buy that shit in a heartbeat. But if there is no Rogue , Gambit or Cyclops. then maybe not too fast.

Well this is still all rumors, rumors, and more rumors though, but i keep coming back to these threads even if not really a heavy posting guy. For that chance to see the hype explosion if its real
 
So what are the odds Fox and Marvel/Disney make up and we get X-Men/FF characters in Ultimate MvC4??

Yes I'm grasping at straws at this point..
 
You got Thanos, Red Skull, Ultron, Dormammu, Loki, new Spider-Man movie villain.

And the rumour just says mcu heavy not mcu exclusive.

And yet, people on GAF still do not get this and are taking the MCU thing at face value. :P

I'm really rooting for Loki to get in, personally.

Its possible they could work out a deal for a dlc pack of returning X-Men characters or something. But I would imagine they want their xmen-free roster to be pushed for the base game so they get the spotlight. They can appease fans of the series with additional characters later.

Seeing as how Ultimate Alliance was remastered under this new Marvel Games regime, we know they are not 100% opposed to releasing something that has FOX movie characters present.

But I'm not getting my hopes up.

I fully expect Thanos, Ultron, Dormammu, & Loki to show up in some capacity (more so Thanos, Dormammu, & Loki).
