Marvel Hidden Hint: Easter Egg Discovers Potential Future Character

Marvel Rivals: Wong's Potential Arrival Hints at a Magical Future

Speculation is swirling within the Marvel Rivals community regarding the potential addition of Wong to the game's roster. This speculation stems from a recent trailer showcasing the new Sanctum Sanctorum map, where a brief glimpse of a painting depicting Doctor Strange's mystical ally, Wong, was spotted. The discovery, highlighted by Reddit user fugo_hate on r/marvelrivals, has ignited fervent discussion about Wong's potential gameplay abilities and his place within the Marvel Rivals universe.

The game, a multiplayer hero shooter drawing comparisons to Overwatch, has already achieved remarkable success, boasting over 10 million players within its first 72 hours. Season 1, titled "Eternal Night," launches January 10th and features Dracula as the main antagonist, setting the stage for a supernatural-themed season. The season will introduce the Fantastic Four, along with alternate skins for Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman as the Maker and Malice, respectively.

Wong's MCU popularity, fueled by Benedict Wong's compelling portrayal, has undoubtedly contributed to player anticipation. While previously featured as a non-playable character in games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (2006), he has since become a playable character in titles such as Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Snap, and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2.

However, the Sanctum Sanctorum map's numerous Marvel universe references leave open the possibility that the Wong painting is simply an Easter egg. Regardless, the inclusion of the painting has fueled excitement surrounding the game's future. Season 1's launch this week will bring three new maps, the Doom Match mode, and the playable Fantastic Four, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further updates and potential future character reveals. The possibility of Wong joining the playable roster remains a captivating prospect for Marvel Rivals players.
