Fans Believe Marvel Rivals Map Easter Egg Teases Next Hero

Marvel Rivals: Wong's Potential Arrival Hints at a Supernatural Season

Speculation is swirling within the Marvel Rivals community regarding the potential addition of Wong to the game's roster. This speculation stems from a recently released trailer showcasing the new Sanctum Sanctorum map. A brief glimpse of a painting depicting Doctor Strange's mystical ally, Wong, has ignited fervent discussion among players.

Marvel Rivals, a multiplayer hero shooter, has already achieved remarkable success, boasting over 10 million players within its first 72 hours. Season 1, "Eternal Night," launching January 10th, introduces Dracula as the main antagonist, setting a supernatural tone. The season will also feature the Fantastic Four (including their villainous counterparts, the Maker and Malice as alternate skins).

The Reddit user fugo_hate, on r/marvelrivals, highlighted the Wong painting in the Sanctum Sanctorum trailer. This Easter egg has led many to believe Wong's inclusion as a playable character is a strong possibility. The question now revolves around what unique magical abilities he might bring to the game.

Wong's Growing Popularity:

Wong's popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, largely due to Benedict Wong's compelling portrayal in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While he previously appeared in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (2006) as a non-playable character, he has since become playable in titles like Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Snap, and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2.

More Than Just a Cameo?

The Sanctum Sanctorum map is replete with references to the supernatural Marvel universe. However, the prominence of the Wong painting suggests more than just a simple cameo. The inclusion of Dracula and the Fantastic Four in Season 1 further strengthens the argument for a supernatural theme, making Wong's addition a plausible and exciting prospect.

Season 1: Eternal Night launches later this week, bringing three new maps, a new Doom Match mode, and the playable Fantastic Four. The mystery of Wong's potential arrival, however, remains a captivating topic for Marvel Rivals players.
