Since all of those Avengers are already in the game, X-MAN INCOMING?????

Angel/Archangel is going to be in the new X-Men movie. That would be my thought.

Of the characters not released, I would prefer to see Rogue or Jean Grey. Jean Grey is up there on my list of favorite characters but I think Rogue would have more interesting game mechanics involved.

I wonder if we'll get Jean Grey or phoenix(i'm sure they'll eventually do both)

Unknown

I would say Rogue warrants 4* status because of the potential complexity of her skills. Jean Gray also for complexity/power.

Angel/Archangel is the only one from that image not already in the game that makes sense as a 3* to me

I'm hoping for Havok or Archangel.

Iceman and Havok aren't? Havok lead the Uncanny Avengers. He is not an X-Men character even though he is a mutant, so Marvel will be more interested in promoting him than Iceman. Rogue too.

Woops, I totally overlooked them for some reason.

Fox has Havok. He was in X-Men: First Class and is rumored to be in the next one. I still think we might get him - the total ban only appears to apply to Fantastic Four characters - but Marvel isn't more likely to promote him than anyone else.

Angel, Rogue, Iceman, and Jean Grey are all relatively likely; it's arguable who the highest profile one of those is. I also wouldn't rule out a 3* Hawkeye, a 4* (or 2*) Hulk, or some other variation on someone we already have.

Same here.

BUT, they had their chances at all of them, this is not a first movie for any of them.

Jubilee will be new in the upcoming one.

I am in total shock. I was really really really certain that Marvel was COMPLETELY done with all promotions of non Marvel Studios owned characters........

The only ones that seem to have a total shutdown are the ones related to the Fantastic Four. X-Men are getting edited out of artwork and the like, but they're harder to exclude without devaluing the license, and possibly breaching contracts. I suspect we'll still see X-Men as about every third or fourth character, though there may be a fallow period when their next movie comes out.

Is it one of the characters that's part of the film license? Only about half the characters in that picture were.

Haha, the games have actually been quite good, Avengers Alliance, War of Heroes etc. have non-Marvel studio owned characters I'd never think would make games. This game seems to be more tied to Marvel than those games though, so I'm not expecting many X-Characters, I'd like some of the peripheral ones to eventually reach the game though.

As for that poster, I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't even a character tease, might just be a Avengers vs X-Men event, or hopefully, a whole storyline. If it is one of them I'm hoping for Iceman or Angel. Save Jean Grey for a 4* that can be released in the future.

Followup: I found a complete listing of the characters on the poster here: http://marvel1980s.blogspot.com/2010/10 ... oster.html

(I couldn't remember a few of the minor ones)

His listing, minus the people I feel comfortable saying will never be in the game:

Clearly part of the Fantastic Four film license (have appeared on screen, plus a few I’ve heard repeatedly are part of the license) :
Human Torch
Reed Richards
Galactus
Silver Surfer
Franklin Richards
Susan Richards
Super Skrull (Fox has Super-Skrull, Marvel can use Skrulls)
Thing
Doctor Doom
Rama-Tut

Probably part of the film license:
Impossible Man (the balloon)
Watcher
Red Ghost and his Apes (Mikhlo, Igor, and Peotr)
Mad Thinker and his android
Puppet Master
Annihilus (The only one on this sublist I think is even a possibility for the game at this point)
Psycho-Man
Blastaar
Diablo
Wizard
Trapster (Paste Pot Pete)
Mole Man his Moloids

Might be, might not be:
Dragon Man
Molecule Man
Quasimodo

Probably not part of the film license:
Sentry 459 (Marvel definitely has Kree)
Him (Adam Warlock)

Definitely not part of the license:
Lockjaw
Triton
Maximus
Black Bolt
Medusa
Gorgon
Karnak
Crystal
Ronan the Accuser
Sandman (Sony, shared with Marvel now)
Klaw
Skrulls (see above)
Black Panther
Namor (Universal)
Attuma (Almost certainly tied to Namor)

A bunch of those in the "probably" category (and most of the maybes) are too minor to make it into the game. Of the people on the list that Marvel has complete control over, any of the Inhumans are reasonably likely, Klaw and Ronan were both in the last two MCU movies, the Inhumans get a movie in a few years, Sandman was in Spider-Man 3 (but is probably not coming any time soon). Universal has as much as announced they're not making a Namor movie, so Marvel will be getting him back.

Realistically, this is the list:
Fox controlled (or probably) we don't have: Thing, Reed Richards, Silver Surfer, Galactus, Annihilus, Super-Skrull
Not Fox controlled (or probably): Ronan, Klaw, Namor, Black Bolt, Medusa, Lockjaw, Adam Warlock, Sandman

I think the rest of the list is either too obscure or too difficult to implement. We may see Skrulls as goons, or something similar, but, for the time being, I think there are six potentially game-level characters in that picture Fox controls, two of whom are a stretch, and Galactus will never be playable, and eight Marvel has control over (I'm about 90% sure they have Adam Warlock).

Well the hint was "Token Saving Mode: On", so I'm going with character release.

Unless we'll be able to pull events out of tokens... Heroic: Juggernaut will become the new Moonstone.
