Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Glimpse of Wong and the Arrival of the Fantastic Four
Marvel Rivals players are buzzing with excitement over the upcoming Season 1, "Eternal Night," launching January 10th. The season introduces Dracula as the main antagonist, fueling speculation about other supernatural Marvel characters joining the roster. Confirmed additions include all four members of the Fantastic Four, with added bonus skins for Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman as the Maker and Malice, respectively.
But the real talk is about a potential new addition: Wong. A recent trailer for the new Sanctum Sanctorum map features a brief shot of a painting depicting Doctor Strange's mystical ally, Wong, sparking widespread speculation on Reddit's r/marvelrivals. This subtle Easter egg has ignited hopes among players that Wong might become a playable character in the future. The question now is: what unique magical abilities would he bring to the game?
Wong's Popularity and Gaming History
Wong's popularity has skyrocketed in recent years thanks to Benedict Wong's memorable portrayal in the MCU. While a non-playable character in 2006's Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, he's since appeared as a playable character in mobile titles like Marvel Contest of Champions and Marvel Snap, as well as LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2.
However, the Sanctum Sanctorum map is brimming with Marvel universe references, so the painting might simply be a fun cameo. Regardless, Season 1 promises plenty of action with three new locations, the new Doom Match mode, and the arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. Players won't have long to wait to see what "Eternal Night" brings.
