Fans Believe Marvel Rivals Map Easter Egg Teases Next Hero

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

Marvel Rivals players are buzzing with speculation about future roster additions, fueled by a recent discovery. The game, a hit with over 10 million players in its first 72 hours, is poised to launch Season 1, "Eternal Night," on January 10th.

Season 1 introduces Dracula as the main antagonist, leading to predictions of more supernatural Marvel characters joining the fray. This is confirmed with the addition of the Fantastic Four – Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, along with their villainous counterparts, the Maker and Malice, as alternate skins.

However, a Reddit user, fugo_hate, ignited a new wave of excitement on r/marvelrivals. A brief shot in the trailer for the new Sanctum Sanctorum map reveals a painting of Wong, Doctor Strange's mystical ally. This Easter egg has sparked speculation about Wong becoming a playable character, with fans already brainstorming potential magical abilities.

Wong's Potential in Marvel Rivals

Wong's popularity has skyrocketed thanks to Benedict Wong's MCU portrayal. While previously appearing as a non-playable character in games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, he's since become playable in titles such as Marvel Contest of Champions and Marvel Snap.

The Sanctum Sanctorum map is brimming with references to the supernatural side of the Marvel universe, so the Wong painting might simply be a fun cameo. Regardless, Season 1 promises exciting new content, including three new locations, the Doom Match mode, and the playable Fantastic Four, all launching later this week. The mystery of Wong's potential inclusion remains a captivating topic for the Marvel Rivals community.
