Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Glimpse of Wong and the Arrival of the Fantastic Four
The anticipation is building for Marvel Rivals Season 1, "Eternal Night," launching January 10th. This season introduces Dracula as the main antagonist, fueling speculation about the inclusion of other supernatural Marvel heroes like Blade. Confirmed additions include the entire Fantastic Four, with bonus alternate skins for Mister Fantastic (the Maker) and Invisible Woman (Malice).
But a recent discovery has players buzzing about a potential future addition: Wong. A Reddit user, fugo_hate, highlighted a brief shot in the Sanctum Sanctorum map trailer showcasing a painting of Doctor Strange's mystical ally, Wong. This subtle Easter egg has ignited speculation about Wong joining the playable roster. His unique magic-based abilities would undoubtedly be a compelling addition to the game.
Wong's popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, largely due to Benedict Wong's portrayal in the MCU. While he's been a comic book staple since the 1960s, his gaming appearances have been limited to non-playable roles (Marvel: Ultimate Alliance) or mobile titles (Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Snap, LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2).
The Sanctum Sanctorum map itself is brimming with references to the supernatural corner of the Marvel universe, so the Wong painting could simply be a fun cameo. However, the possibility of a playable Wong remains exciting for fans. Season 1 promises thrilling gameplay across three new locations, including the Sanctum Sanctorum, and introduces the new Doom Match mode. The arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman as playable characters further enhances the Season 1 experience. The launch is just days away, offering players a chance to dive into the supernatural action and see what other surprises await.
