Marvel's "Rivals" Map Hides Mysterious Hero Clue

Marvel Rivals Season 1: Wong's Mysterious Appearance Hints at Future Playable Character?

Marvel Rivals is generating significant buzz, with over 10 million players joining in the first 72 hours. The game's Season 1, "Eternal Night," launching January 10th, features Dracula as the main antagonist and promises the Fantastic Four (including alternate skins for the Maker and Malice) as playable characters. But a recent discovery has players speculating about another potential addition to the roster: Wong.

A newly released trailer for the Sanctum Sanctorum map showcases a brief glimpse of a painting depicting Doctor Strange's mystical ally, Wong. This Easter egg, spotted by Reddit user fugo_hate, has ignited discussions within the r/marvelrivals community about the possibility of Wong becoming a playable character. His MCU popularity, coupled with previous appearances in games like Marvel Contest of Champions and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2, fuels this speculation.

While the painting could simply be a fun reference within the Sanctum Sanctorum's many Marvel Easter eggs, the inclusion of such a prominent character is sparking excitement. Players are already imagining his potential magic-based abilities in the game.

Season 1: Eternal Night brings three new maps, a new Doom Match mode, and the arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. The mystery of Wong's potential inclusion adds another layer of anticipation to the upcoming season. Players will soon have the opportunity to explore the new content and perhaps uncover more clues about future character additions.
