Marvel Rivals Season 3 characters leaked
Image via NetEase Games. Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 has raised the bar to new heights with its huge array of content. Be it a new playable character as Ultron or new in-game items like Combat Chest, this mid-season update made every fan happy. However, now it's time to move on to the next chapter in Marvel Rivals as Season 3 in the game is knocking on the door, which is expected to release next month. However, we might have already got the heroes which we can get in the upcoming season in Marvel Rivals. Marvel Rivals Season 3 leaked heroes Before the start of Season 2, NetEase Games confirmed that in the near future the game would follow the 'a new hero every month' model. We saw Emma Frost and Ultron surfacing into the game in Season 2 and Season 2.5 respectively, that means two heroes in two months. However, the 'near future' is here and Season 3 would follow the new formula where we will see a new hero each month taking entry into the game. The developers also confirmed at that time that upcoming seasons (starting from Season 3) will last for two months only, with second months being the mid-season refresh. We are still some days away from Season 3, but might have got the potential characters of the upcoming season. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Livguard Lithium-X: The Future of Power Backup Livguard Buy Now Undo Twitch Seems to Have Revealed Upcoming S3 Heroes and Twitch Drops? by u/VeniceArtime in MarvelRivalsLeaks In the r/MarvelRivalsLeaks subreddit, a user named VeniceArtime shared a screenshot of the upcoming Twitch Drops in Season 3.

First Steps to ruin: Is Marvel's Fantastic Four finally about to let the bad guys win?
What if Thanos really had finger-snapped away half of all life in the universe and then kicked back on his scorched Titan homestead like a giant, purple Cincinnatus? What if Ultron had succeeded in uploading himself into the cloud, turning every smart fridge and Fitbit into a genocidal death bot? What if Loki had kept the Tesseract, conquered Earth, and turned Avengers Tower into a golden skyscraper shaped like his own smirking face? These are the Marvel sliding‑doors moments we are secretly relieved that we will never see – too bleak, too bonkers, or too off‑brand to survive outside the whiteboard of producer and Marvel boss Kevin Feige. But what if the Disney-owned studio actually went there? What if the universe did end in tears, ash and the soft whirr of a retro‑futurist espresso machine sputtering out its final cortado as Galactus devours the sun? This may be the queasy promise behind The Fantastic Four: First Steps – a film that appears to revel in retro‑futurist utopian aesthetics but also looks likely to end in cosmic obliteration. Its latest trailer, out this week, certainly leaves us wondering if, this time, the bad guys may win. Sign up to Film Weekly Take a front seat at the cinema with our weekly email filled with all the latest news and all the movie action that matters after newsletter promotion Early glimpses of the film read like a love‑letter to a future that never was, all soft lighting, swooping mid‑century rocket ships and wholesome family dynamics. Reed Richards is busy tinkering with gadgets that run on vacuum tubes and barely repressed genius. Ben Grimm lurks in a letterman jacket, looking like a walking pile of regret. Sue Storm floats weightlessly in a zero‑gravity kitchen that wouldn't look out of place in a SpaceX commercial directed by Don Draper's artier younger brother, while Johnny Storm radiates cocksure charisma and combustion. All that Apollo‑era optimism curdles fast. We cut to trembling ground crews, misbehaving solar flares and giant shadow‑objects looming towards Earth – before Julia Garner's Silver Surfer glides in like a chrome‑plated herald of doom to announce that this planet is toast, and you may as well give up now. In any other Marvel movie, that would be the cue for a heroic fightback and Galactus being packed off to the nearest celestial naughty‑step. The end‑credits would show the team curing their hunger pangs in an all‑night diner. But there is something so downcast about this new trailer that you can't help wondering if everything is going to work out for the best this time. After all, this isn't the Marvel Cinematic Universe we have come to know and love. It may be a sleek, chrome‑plated utopia built on jetpacks and optimism, but as it is one of maybe a million universes, it is also eminently dispensable, instantly rebootable and narratively nonbinding. Could all those soaring space bridges, apple‑cheeked children and pastel dioramas be a plot device to show how easily the studio can destroy the visual playground in front of it – as long as it has 999,999 other realities to plunder for future episodes? Perhaps the biggest concern – for those who stayed through Thunderbolts* to its startling second post‑credits scene – is that the Fantastic Four's retro rocket ship is shown hurtling toward Earth‑616 like a vinyl‑wrapped harbinger of doom. Feige insists this may not be that ship, but if it is, then all those efforts in First Steps may just have been in vain. The opening moments of next year's Avengers: Doomsday could yet show the Four crash‑landing into the MCU, bruised, broken, and with apocalypse on their ash‑flecked lips.

While nothing has been confirmed yet, the leak is generating significant discussion within the community. Marvel Rivals upcoming third season has left players buzzing about the possibility of new content in the game's third season, including a new hero, a new map, limited-time modes, and a seasonal event.(@MarvelRivals/ X) Since its release, Marvel Rivals has earned its place in the team-shooter genre as a fast-paced, action-heavy experience featuring a wide roster of Marvel characters. With Season 2 still ongoing—and having already added Ultron and Emma Frost—it's likely that the next wave of content is just around the corner. Now, a new report from YouTuber Dylbobz points to what's coming next. In a recent video, the content creator shared that promotional materials distributed to influencers may have revealed details about Season 3—highlighting Jean Grey, also known as Phoenix, as the next character joining the fight. Also Read: Marvel Rivals drops the most iconic villain, Ultron, as the playable character for Season 2.5. Here's a rundown The materials reportedly mention Phoenix as the featured Duelist for the season, launching alongside a new map, fresh game modes, and an in-game event called the 'Summer Party Event,' all set to roll out on July 11. If accurate, this would make Phoenix the seventh new hero added to the roster. Her powers appear to be split between two forms: a telekinetic human form and a more aggressive Phoenix form capable of flight and long-range attacks. The rumored list of her abilities include: Class: Duelist Forms: Human and Phoenix Human Form Abilities Psychic Explosion Telekinetic Transfer Shattered Star Impact Phoenix Form Abilities Phoenix Ray Phoenix Wings Flight Phoenix Punishment There is also discussion of a unique ability that may temporarily disable enemy powers - a mechanic that could significantly impact high-level gameplay, if it indeed exists.
