Marvel Fans Excited by Map Easter Egg Teasing Upcoming Character

Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Glimpse of Wong and the Arrival of the Fantastic Four

Marvel Rivals' Season 1, "Eternal Night," launching January 10th, promises a supernatural showdown against Dracula. The season will introduce the Fantastic Four – Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, along with their villainous counterparts, the Maker and Malice, as alternate skins – fueling speculation about other mystical Marvel characters joining the roster.

A recent trailer showcasing the new Sanctum Sanctorum map has sparked excitement among players. Reddit user fugo_hate highlighted a brief shot of a painting depicting Wong, Doctor Strange's mystical ally, fueling speculation about his potential inclusion as a playable character. This wouldn't be Wong's first foray into gaming; he's appeared in titles like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Snap, and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2.

The painting could simply be a fun Easter egg within the Sanctum Sanctorum, a map brimming with Marvel universe references. However, the inclusion of a prominent character like Wong, especially given his recent MCU popularity, has ignited significant fan interest. The possibilities for his magic-based abilities in the game are endless.

With over 10 million players in its first 72 hours, Marvel Rivals continues to be a hit. Season 1 will feature three new locations and a new Doom Match mode, offering players plenty to explore and conquer. The arrival of the Fantastic Four as playable characters on January 10th adds even more anticipation to the upcoming season. The question remains: will Wong join the fight? Only time will tell.
