Please bring back Mega Man or, even better, finally give X his turn in the fighting game spotlight like you should have in MvC 3.
Please.[/please] Zero and Tron aren't good enough without an actual Mega Man repping the series.
I hope you get Roll or that fucking robot dog and nobody else

But what does that really mean though? The idea of a Fox dispute barring characters is entirely (frankly almost non-sensical considering they're used all over the place in all of Marvel's online and mobile games) speculation. I'm not saying it isn't true, but I'm also thinking it's way too early to assume this is the case.
This is part of the X-Men/F4 video game ban that started after Contest of Champions came out. Nobody from those franchises were allowed to be featured or even directly referenced in post-CoC games. For example, Squirrel-Girl listed the villains she's defeated in Marvel Future Fight & explicitly skipped Doctor Doom.

I don't think they can? Does Fox have the rights to the video game adaptions as well?

This is so depressing to hear. X-Men are awesome and Marvel are trying to kill the franchise because they aren't making as much money as they could be making if they made their own movies. It hurts the fans but I guess they don't care about that.

Please.

Going to be weird to see an MvC without the likes of Wolverine and such, though.
Agreed

Some weird ex.usions from you there. No way they are cutting Doctor Strange. He just had a big movie and will be in Thor 3 and the next Avengers. Nova doesn't have to be cut because he is related to the Guardians. Ghost Rider is currently in Agents of Shield.

My short list of new characters would be:

Captain Marvel
Black Panther
Jessica Jones
Luke Cage
Daredevil
Punisher
Electra
Starlord
Gamora
Drax
Groovt
Ms. Marvel
Moon Knight
Squirrel Girl

For shits and giggles ... Howard the Duck.

Nope.

it's some random human girl named Gwen Poole. Crossed over from the "real" world into the comic book one. has nothing to do with peter parker.

She originally appeared as a random cover for various gwen stacy variants of regular heroes (like spider gwen) but the actual character is not related to gwen stacy or spiderman at all.

Also: no powers.

So just a random ass girl with no real relation to Deadpool or his story? Weird.

I hope Marvel will use this to push some lesser known characters.
I also wonder if this means Thanos will be in the game now.

Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter is a petty and vindictive man, so he definitely doesn't care,

The only exceptions are Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch, but only Lego Avengers was able to get the Maximoff Twins. Disney Infinity tried for them in 3.0, but Marvel said no.

Honestly I'm sure there's gonna be people here that are going to shit on this before they even see this, but nothing can stop my hype for a new MAHHHHHHHHHHHVEL.

Other than Wolverine, Cyclops, Deadpool and Gambit I probably won't care the X-Men isn't in. Give me the MCU variations of Ant-Man, Groot, Star Lord, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther and Spider-Man any day of the week! Also Quake, Bolt and Medusa from Inhumans. And while we're at it Robbie Reyes, Punisher, Iron Fist and Daredevil. Heck even Luke Cage.

I'm not really fond of Marvel's movie versions, but as long as Capcom doesn't skimp on the IPs of their own that they pull from, I'm good.

The one pro from this is that Doom won't be in every fucking match.

That is a balance issue though. Doom's playstyle is fucking fun.





The article says a focus on MCU so it is possible we might get at least Wolverine, just no focus on him....

Scarlet Witch will most likely not be allowed to join since she's co-owned by Fox movie-rights-wise. Capcom would have to beg harder than they did for Shuma to get her or Quicksilver.
