Deadpool, Cyclops, Daredevil: Marvel Rivals has a ton of data-mined heroes. But who should be next?

Marvel Rivals is about to ramp up its hero release schedule in a big way starting in July 2025.

With season three, the hero shooter from NetEase Games is going to begin releasing a new hero every single month. If that sounds daunting, it’s because it absolutely is for any live-service game maker, and it will be very interesting to see how the developer handles Marvel Rivals’ balancing moving forward.

There’s no shortage of heroes for Marvel Rivals to potentially add into the game. The Marvel universe has literally hundreds of characters to choose from, and with a new hero coming each month starting on July 11, they will be coming fast and hard.

After Ultron launched at the end of May, there are already 39 playable characters in the game, just about seven months after launch, but there are even more that are coming and have been previously data mined.

Here’s a short, non-exhaustive list of just some of the heroes who have been found within the files and could be coming soon:

• Deadpool
• Professor X
• Rogue
• Colossus
• Jean Grey/Phoenix
• Cyclops
• Captain Marvel
• Angela
• Armor
• Daredevil
• Forge
• Nightcrawler
• Jubilee
• Gambit
• White Fox
• The Hood

And so I ask you, Marvel Rivals gamers, who from this list do you hope to see next? Who do you want to see, even if they’re not on the list, and what role (Vanguard/Duelist/Strategist) do you think they fit best into?

Keep in mind that the in-game lore is heavily hinting at Jean Grey/Phoenix arriving in season three, and we’ve already seen Blade, who recently woke up from his season-long slumber and is likely coming soon. But who else would you want to see soon? Let us know in the comments and poll below.
