Considering MVC3 was released in 2011 with Dormammu in advance for Strange’s movie, I think they know some things that will happen in the future when deciding the cast.
If the game goes super serious grimdark with just one villain then the entire game will be infected with grimdark and then we end up with dog shit like Injustice. No thanks.
I don’t think violent personalities will stop characters from having a chance. We’ve had serial killers in every MVC title so far. Only when gore is an essential part of the character does it become an issue. I think Carnage has a fair shot (although he’s likely competing with Venom due to the similarities in their powers), but I’m not so sure about the gorier characters. It would be great if there was a way around the rating problem, because I really want to see Jedah in this one.
It’s pretty hard to tell either way, tbh. Captain Marvel and Iron Man are the opposing leaders of Civil War II, but the appearance of CM they used for the trailer is the early version (before even Secret Wars) so they could be drawing from anywhere with these characters. If they have a movie or tv show out or coming out within the next year or so they obviously have the highest chance, but I’m trying to see where Marvel’s train of thought is for characters outside of that space. Skrull and MODOK were nowhere near the MCU at the time MVC3 was out (and they still aren’t), but I figured they were more of a comic advertisement for the new Invasion series and MODOK’s Battleworld series. I know there will be some characters like that again, but I’m frustrating myself trying to deduce who since Marvel’s been branching out into so many things lately.
Red Skull was in Super Hero Squad and various other cartoons, so that’s not true.
And they wouldn’t need to tone him down for this game.
Yeah and Doctor Octopus almost made it in last time, so i hope that gives him a good chance of debuting this time.
Green Goblin would be great too Though part of me Linda wants it to be Hobgoblin to see if Mark Hamill will voice him again. But I know Green G is the more likely of the too.
The idea of Green Goblin on his Glider is really cool sounding, but he’d probably have to ride it all the time and I’m getting Ivan Ooze flashbacks from that
I remember playing some MUGEN build called ‘World Heroes’ years ago.
The Green Goblin was on the roster, which was basically recycled Spider-Man animations, but with a Green Goblin skin and glider thrown on top of it, with some unique supers (iirc).
Something like that minus the reused animations would be cool.
