    It's already been mentioned but I too believe it is Jubilee. Or at least definitely a mutant

    Please tell me that we won’t have a repeat of last boss event (restarting an hour in). Fix the Alliance points before starting, please please please.

    Why would you want them to fix it? It's 180,000 points for all the alliance rewards, instead of I can't remember how many millions. 5.4 million? Even if they restarted it, I think there's still a gain? :D

    Follow-up on clarification request: Will The Hunt be the 3-day (running 4/6 - 4/10) or the 4-day version (4/6 - 4/11). Similarly, Infinite Pursuit 4/9 - 4/14 (4-day) or 4/10-4/14 (3-day)?

    For that same week, is it 5* Spider-Man (Peter Parker) or Spider-Man (Back in Black) who’s boosted?

    In order to compensate for the Apocalypse snaffle there will be a new 7 day event - Hunt the Apocalypse Infinitely - Dr. Strange will be essential.

    Honor Among Thieves in game rewards don’t match what’s posted here. It’s Knull for progression and Crystal for placement in game.

    Surprise!

    Schedule is subject to change anytime.

    No one going to waste their weekends logging into this forum saying that placement/progression would change.

    Yet someone had time to tweet on a weekend.
    Funny.

    Also COME ON.
    If we can't trust the info for the very next pve, why post it in the first place.

    Via the calendar, yes... but there should be a presumption that what was posted on the official forum is correct. It's not :/

    If you can't appreciate the efforts of this community to correct the information, please find another venue to direct your baseless indignations

    4/2 - 4/7 Honor Among Thieves NEW
    Placement Rewards: Knull, Luke Cage (Power Man), Human Torch (Classic), Daken (DA)
    Progression Rewards: Kang (The Conqueror), Colleen Wing, Falcon, Thor (Marvel NOW)

    4/6 - 4/11 The Hunt NEW
    Placement Rewards: New 5*, Medusa, Blade (Daywalker), Captain America (Steve Rogers)
    Progression Rewards: Knull, Luke Cage (Power Man), Human Torch (Classic), Daken (DA)

    4/9 - 4/13 Infinite Pursuit NEW
    Placement Rewards: Black Panther (Civil War), M'Baku, Loki (DR), Bullseye (DA)
    Progression Rewards: New 5*, Medusa, Blade (Daywalker), Captain America (Steve Rogers)

    In-game preview for Honor Among Thieves indicates the following:

    Placement Rewards: Crystal, Medusa, Blade, Captain America

    Looks like a simple mix-up between the events (it happens), and the next PVE may differ from the original post as well. Waiting for the in-game preview to confirm :D

    It actually looks like they kept the original schedule (Kang/Colleen/Falcon) but those characters were put on the boss event (which didn’t actually need to use them), and continued on with the next order (Knull/Cage/Torch… and then Crystal/Medusa/Blade).

    I’m assuming this won’t be able to be fixed. @IceIX any chance you can confirm? And since Crystal was the “older Classic which was just being used as the essential”, she wasn’t supposed to be getting shards and yet will, which means that BlackPanther might actually get “missed” when New5 comes out during Infinite Pursuit.

    No, this isn’t the case. We got Kang/Colleen/Beast from the boss event as originally stated. According to the top post here, we were supposed to get Colleen twice in a row.

    Oh, I have no idea who or what that is but I definitely want it to be the next 5*!!!!

    Well, the clue is "Candygram" which is in fact a reference to a classic SNL skit with a land shark, so that seems extremely likely.

    Also, I'm amused that instead of miscellaneous stuff in his stomach, it's the MPQ tiles.

    No, this isn’t the case. We got Kang/Colleen/Beast from the boss event as originally stated. According to the top post here, we were supposed to get Colleen twice in a row.

    I wasn’t quite clear. The current schedule is 3 Latest followed by 2 Classics, unless the new 5* is released when a Classic is essential in which case they bring in someone else as the “placeholder” so they don’t lose their spot in the real rotation of classics.

    Boss events are always/usually not part of this schedule. When a boss event happens they just “pause” the 3Latest/2Classic schedule for an event, give us whatever covers they happen to choose, and then keep going with the next PvE.

    So I agree that this boss event gave us what we expected, but I think in the background they forgot to “pause” the rotation because we “lost” the expected Kang/Colleen/Falcon and are going straight to the next grouping.

    Here’s the schedule as it was supposed to be:
    3/12 F4W (new Magik5): placeholder Heimdall
    3/16 SpiderSilk: classic Hela
    3/20 HoD: classic iHulk
    3/23 UnIso: Latest HitMonkey
    3/27 WW: Latest Wong
    (Break for boss event)
    4/2 HaT: Latest Kang
    4/6 Hunt: Classic Knull
    4/9 InfPurs (new Jeffrey5): placeholder Crystal
    4/13 MtR&G: classic BlkPanther

    But in game we’re showing that Knull and Crystal are an event earlier than they “should” be. And yes I know that schedules are subject to change, and maybe they’re putting boss events back into the rotation of 5s, but I’m just pointing out what I think happened based on what was originally written and what’s now in-game.
