Marvel Rivals Season 3 start date – when you can play the new content update
Marvel Rivals is gearing up for a new season, introducing fresh characters and it's not long before it hits the screens.
Despite dwindling public interest, Marvel Rivals continues to capitalise on the allure of Marvel 's comic book characters. The game, which allows players to step into the shoes of Spider-Man and battle against foes like The Punisher and Venom, has managed to retain its player base by consistently introducing new content.
Season 2 saw the introduction of Ultron and a playable Emma Frost, following the addition of the Fantastic Four in the first season. This is all part of Marvel's successful run in the gaming industry, highlighted by the grand announcement of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls during this year's summer showcase season.
But there's more in store as Jean Grey and Blade are set to join the game to combat a Knull-corrupted Hela in an upcoming season. The new season aims to introduce enough modes, maps and gameplay explorations to keep the game at the top of its league.
Given that NetEase Games hasn't disappointed players so far, expectations are high. Interestingly, the introduction of Blade into the game comes after the MCU missed its opportunity to bring the vampire hunter to life on the big screen. Fans of the character have been anticipating something big for a while now, so the pressure is certainly on.
The wait is almost over for Marvel Rivals Season 3, as players gear up to step into the shoes of the vampire slayer. But when exactly will the new update roll out? Here's everything you need to know about the Marvel Rivals Season 3 start date.

Marvel Rivals Season 3 start date
The anticipated start date for Marvel Rivals Season 3 is set for 5am PDT / 8am EDT / 1pm BST on Friday, July 11. This information comes from our previous exploration of the Marvel Rivals Season 2 end date, which revealed that the game is scheduled to enter its downtime at 2am PDT / 5am EDT / 10am BST, lasting between two and three hours.
We're prepared to give NetEase the benefit of the doubt and enough time to implement the update, so we anticipate that the game will be live with its new season around this time. The opening of Marvel Rivals season 3 promises to be a thrilling time, particularly for Blade fans. Let's hope that the upcoming seasonal update for the game will captivate players just as NetEase intends it to.

Pregnant Vanessa Kirby cradles her baby bump in a sleek black dress as she joins her co-stars at the Fantastic Four: First Steps fan event in Germany
Vanessa Kirby looked every inch the stylish mother-to-be as she displayed her baby bump in a sleek black dress at the Fantastic Four: First Steps fan event in Berlin, Germany on Tuesday. The pregnant actress, 37, looked incredible in the semi-sheer black number as she cradled her growing stomach while posing on the blue carpet at the city's Das Center. Vanessa teamed her fashionable, high-necked gown with towering black heels and dazzling silver drop earrings. The stunner, who plays Invisible Woman Sue Storm in the Marvel film, was in great spirts as she joined her co-stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn and Pedro Pascal at the event. All three leading men cut dapper figures in their sharp ensembles as they posed with Vanessa on the red carpet. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Fantastic Four. The pregnant actress, 37, looked incredible in the semi-sheer black number as she cradled her growing stomach while posing on the blue carpet at the city's Das Center Vanessa, who plays Invisible Woman Sue Storm in the Marvel film, was in great spirts as she joined her co-stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn and Pedro Pascal [L-R] at the event Produced by Marvel Studios, it is intended to be the 37th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the second reboot of the Fantastic Four film series. The film is directed by Matt Shakman and stars Pedro, Vanessa, Joseph and Ebon as the titular team. In the film, the Fantastic Four must protect their 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic world from the planet-devouring cosmic being Galactus. Vanessa first revealed she was pregnant with her first child last month as she showed off her bump at The Fantastic Four photocall in Mexico. Last December it was reported she was engaged to her boyfriend Paul Rabil after two years together. The beauty, who starred as Princess Margaret in Netflix 's The Crown, was allegedly set to head down the aisle with lacrosse player love, 39, after he popped the question, according to Page Six. MailOnline contacted representatives of Paul and Vanessa for comment. Vanessa and Paul first sparked dating rumours walking hand-in-hand through New York City in October 2022. All three leading men cut dapper figures in their sharp ensembles as they posed with Vanessa on the red carpet However, Vanessa and Paul didn't make their romance Instagram official until November 2023. At the time, American Paul - who is the co-founder of the Premier Lacrosse League - shared a series of photographs of the couple including one of them embracing on a beach. 'From the very minute we first met in Des Moines, around the world and back, life is far better, more purposeful and more beautiful with you,' he wrote about the film star. The couple have been spotted on several occasions together since 2022, but had kept quiet about their blossoming romance. Paul previously dated Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez and was married to fellow sportswoman Kelly Berger, from 2014 until 2017. In April 2022, Vanessa was linked to Christopher Abbott after the pair were spotted enjoying a drink at a trendy bar in London's Soho. The pair, who met when they played a married couple in 19th Century romantic drama The World To Come in 2020, were deep in conversation at Ducksoup. An onlooker said the stars 'looked super comfortable in each other's company' as they drank wine and chatted for a couple of hours at an outside table. Vanessa previously dated Callum Turner after they starred in 2014's Queen And Country.

Studios are rewriting movies steered by Reddit. A dangerous development – or long overdue?
Once upon a time, film-makers were mysterious sorcerers hunched over Steenbecks and smoke machines, conjuring cinematic magic from the recesses of their cerebellums. These days it seems they spend half their time on Reddit, fighting like gremlins to stay one step ahead of the hive mind. This week, Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts revealed that his original plan for the grand entrance of the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield versions of Spider-Man in the blockbuster Marvel epic was to have them turn up following the death of Aunt May, just as Spidey was at his lowest point. As our hero sheds tears on a grimy New York rooftop, the pair would enter through Doctor Strange portals at the perfect moment to reset the film and set Peter Parker on the path to redemption. It was a perfectly serviceable plan to get the film moving again quickly before the entire multiplex ruined their popcorn with salty tears. But there was one tiny, weeny problem: the internet had thought of it first. 'I was on Reddit, and I was looking at people who had already made fan art of, 'This is probably what it's going to be like when the two Spider-Men get revealed',' Watts told Collider. 'It was on a rooftop. It was sad. Two Doctor Strange portals were open and two Spider-Men are stepping out. I was like, 'Well, we can't do that. If that's exactly what everyone thinks we're going to do, we absolutely can't do that.'' Watts reconfigured the screenplay so that Maguire and Garfield turn up in Ned's grandmother's flat instead, after Spider-Man's right-hand man starts messing with Strange's sling ring and accidentally ushers them both into the MCU. As an example of the fandom hivemind guessing the plot of a movie from the quantum rear seat, this is both deranged and depressingly effective. But it's also far from the first time fans have managed to manipulate the plot of a high-profile film before the trailers have even been released. The great-grandaddy of internet-powered cinema interference, long before Reddit got involved, was the 2006 action thriller Snakes on a Plane, a movie that was almost entirely reshot to meet fan expectations. After early online hype snowballed into full-blown meme fever, producers added more reptiles, more over-the-top absurdity and more supposedly iconic lines such as Samuel L Jackson's: 'I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!' In 2015, Fantastic Four brought us a subtler, though equally telling, course correction. Fans were outraged by reports that Toby Kebbell's Doctor Doom would be renamed 'Victor Domashev' and – even worse – would be a sad tech bro with a blogspot (rather than the usual Latverian aristocrat with diplomatic immunity and a murder cape). Faced with backlash before the film had even finished shooting, 20th Century Fox panicked and quietly reinstated the classic 'Von Doom' moniker. A tiny change, but a telling one. At that point we were fully into the era of pre-release plot clairvoyance, where no trailer dropped, no casting announcement landed, and no cereal-box leak went unanalysed by Reddit sleuths with conspiracy corkboards and access to 480p set photos. And just like studios, and directors, the fans get it wrong as often as they get it right. Without a massive Reddit campaign, Sonic the Hedgehog might have been a kids' animated movie starring a version of the beloved video game critter who looked like a taxidermy experiment. Thumbs up there to the screaming mob. In contrast, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ended up switching Daisy Ridley's Rey from the child of 'filthy junk traders' she had been labelled in previous film The Last Jedi to the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine – purely because fans who had probably built elaborate genealogies on Reddit had got their geeky knickers in a twist. Since then we've had the almost complete deletion of the villainous Serpent Society from Captain America: Brave New World, and now the revelation that No Way Home was rewritten to avoid getting Reddited. It seems that in modern Hollywood, entire tonal shifts are now being driven by fan reaction, real or anticipated. At their best, these pivots can improve a film. There's a kind of chaotic crowd wisdom to large-scale fan response: if millions of people agree your CGI hedgehog looks like he drinks Monster Energy, maybe it's worth reconsidering. And when audiences accurately predict major plot beats months in advance, maybe it makes sense to tweak the scene. But there's a point here where all this stuff starts to eat indelibly into the very concept of authored film-making. Maybe in a decade or so we won't need directors and studios at all, just a bunch of data analysts and Reddit mods using AI to make films that everyone loves because they've already seen them in their heads. And even if that's a dystopian future we're not quite facing just yet, such algorithmic appeasement exposes the mounting anxiety of studios that now live in a kind of quantum dread – terrified of being too online, yet even more terrified of not being online enough. Every plot point is a potential leak. Every costume reveal is a referendum. Nothing is sacred, and nothing is safe when your screenplay has to survive both internal rewrites and a Reddit spoiler thread before it can even be filmed. Think of it as Schrödinger's Cameo: the twist exists in a weird quantum state until the lights go down and your mate leans over and says: 'Told you Tobey was in this.'

Stunning WNBA star looks ready to enter the Love Island villa as team share 'hot' photos of her arriving to game
Phoenix Mercury star Kalani Brown looked ready to trade out the hardwood for the Love Island villa as her team shared photos of her showing up to a game in a stunning orange dress. Brown's epic entrance took place before the Mercury destroyed the Dallas Wings, with the center scoring six points off the bench in the 102-72 victory. Yet, the lasting memory from Monday night's clash happened before the ball was tipped. Brown's midriff was exposed in the orange dress, as the 6-foot-7 star was also in high heels. Ariana Madix was nowhere to be seen as the seventh season of the American version of Love Island is currently filming. 'This week a hot new bombshell has entered the villa,' the post was captioned with the phrase infamously connected with the dating show. Brown starred in the pregame photos before Phoenix's huge win over the Dallas Wings The Mercury are Brown's fourth WNBA team after being a first-round selection of the Los Angeles Sparks in 2019. Brown also spent time with the Atlanta Dream and Monday's opponent, the Wings, before settling in Phoenix for this season. The former Baylor star has also played pro basketball internationally in Turkey, China, Mongolia, and Israel. It was in her two years with in Dallas where she caught her footing in the WNBA, playing in 70 games, much more than the 39 contests combined where she featured in her first three seasons. Love Island has been an American summer staple since its premiere in 2019, which is also the prime time for the WNBA season.
