Marvel Map Teases Heroine Debut

Marvel Rivals: Wong's Potential Arrival Hints at a Supernatural Season

Speculation is rife within the Marvel Rivals community regarding the potential addition of Wong to the game's roster. This speculation stems from a recently released trailer showcasing the new Sanctum Sanctorum map. A keen-eyed Reddit user, fugo_hate, spotted a brief glimpse of a painting depicting Doctor Strange's mystical ally, Wong, seemingly mirroring his MCU counterpart.

The game, a multiplayer hero shooter attracting over 10 million players in its first 72 hours, is set to launch Season 1, "Eternal Night," on January 10th. This season introduces Dracula as the main antagonist, fueling anticipation for the inclusion of other supernatural Marvel characters. The Fantastic Four's arrival has already been confirmed, with Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, alongside their villainous counterparts, the Maker and Malice, appearing as playable characters and alternate skins respectively.

Wong's inclusion is purely speculative at this stage. The painting in the Sanctum Sanctorum trailer might simply be an Easter egg, a nod to Doctor Strange's companion within a map rich in supernatural Marvel references. However, Wong's rising popularity, thanks to Benedict Wong's MCU portrayal, and his previous appearances in various Marvel games (though often non-playable), adds fuel to the speculation.

Season 1 promises exciting new content, including three new locations, a new Doom Match mode, and the arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman as playable characters. The mystery of Wong's potential addition remains, adding another layer of intrigue to the already anticipated launch of "Eternal Night."
