Adam Warlock could be a fun addition.I do hope we get a few deeper cut characters. I'll be a little boring if this just the MCU + X-Men and F4.

I never thought of this before, and now I need it.
Ok something for a little more discussion while we wait for the next trailer. After thinking about it and reviewing the info and the original game I noticed a trend that could lead to some interesting predictions. Traditionally mua has had standard lineups of each main team having 5 characters as the standard. In the original game avengers were the only exception(at release). Now from the info we have there are dozens of characters playable and we have about 16 revealed and 3 major revealed factions(and 3 smaller ones that aren't a confirmed team but have been previously)
So the reason I bring it up is a major part of mua on top of making your own teams is that each major team has a full team(and usually an alternate) which means 5 total characters. So here's the confirmed factions, and minimum slots. So a big one is we don't have the full X-men lineup and we should get at least 4 more
So here's the factions we know of
Gotg
X-men
- Starlord
- Gamora
- Drax
- Rocket and groot(seem to be a single character)
Avengers
- Wolverine
- ?

- ?
Inhumans (not nessecarily a full faction as Both have been a member of multiple teams)
- Iron man
- Cap
- Hulk
- Thor
- Falcon
- Scarlet Witch
- Vision(not officially shown but in a split second frame of the trailer)
Shield(has been a sub faction, and the only faction only character is generally Nick Fury, but we could see more with it as a primary this time)
- Crystal
- Lockjaw
Spider friends (general colloquial for Spider-Man related characters)
- Nick Fury
Now the last three won't nessecarily fill up, oh and marvel knights are likely as both hand ninjas have beeen shown. We don't know if there will be playable villains. X-men could get more as we truly don't know what other teams were getting but 5 characters are the most likely.
- Spider-Man
He did. Just in the worst possible way. He was exclusive to the Wii version. From what I can remember, they just ripped him straight out of X-Men Legends II and place him into the game. It felt like you were using fan mod.

So did I! I loved Cyclops was great in MUA1. He was the first peice of DLC i'd ever bought. They actually gave him a bunch of new techniques and features compared to X-Men Legends II.

His inclusion MUA2's Wii version was so bittersweet. I tried desperately to enjoy that version before I finally tapped out. It's actually kinda hard to find any footage or pictures of him in MUA2 because nobody played that version. The only thing I could find was somebody unlocking him--
Looks like you're right. And the only way to play with the DLC characters is to buy the exclusive "Gold Edition" for the 360. I dunno if such a thing exist for MUA 2 either.
If they time it right, We could get one like a Secret Warriors team based on the recent-ish women-focused show/products they've been doing:Ok something for a little more discussion while we wait for the next trailer.

X-men could get more as we truly don't know what other teams were getting but 5 characters are the most likely. Oh and if we go off previous games here's a legacy team that is like
- Spider-Man
Marvel Knights
And of course avengers is likely to be the biggest it's wver been however it's also possible for multiple characters to be focused in their sub teams like west coast avengers
- Daredevil
- Elektra
- Luke Cage
- Blade
- Ghost Rider
- Moon knight
Do we think villains are going to be playable? Magneto is who i'd want the most.
I thought the press release said playable villains.Do we think villains are going to be playable? Magneto is who i'd want the most.
I agree. Hoping for the Fantastic Four and a ton of mutants.
Game will stop feeling like Avengers Ultimate Alliance 3 when these two finally revealed in the game.
With how hard Marvel Games has been pushing how they've got Fantastic 4 characters now, I'd be surprised and pretty disappointed if the Fantastic 4 don't make the cut eventually, whether at launch or after.
Scott and Reed with those DCAU bodies.

Agreed. Throw in the silver surfer too.With how hard Marvel Games has been pushing how they've got Fantastic 4 characters now, I'd be surprised and pretty disappointed if the Fantastic 4 don't make the cut eventually, whether at launch or after.
If they time it right, We could get one like a Secret Warriors team based on the recent-ish women-focused show/products they've been doing:
Captain Marvel
Quake
Squirrel Girl
Ms Marvel (Kamala)
America Chavez
Lockjaw (if they decide not to rush the Inhumans train, plus he's been with Kamala for a bit in the comics)
Inferno
Patroit
I wouldn't doubt them trying this if MArvel is super serious about actually pushing this line to the girl's market.
Correction that is the New Champions, classic version included Hercules, Iceman and several othersI could also see them bringing in the Champions, whose lineup has included:
Ms Marvel (Kamala)
Spider-Man (Miles)
Brawn (Amadeus Cho, formerly Totally Awesome Hulk)
Viv Vision
Young Cyclops
Nova (Sam Alexander)
Ironheart
Snowguard
Wasp (Nadia Van Dyne)
Patriot
Falcon (Joaquin Torres)
Red Locust
Bombshell
Pinpoint
A team of primarily Legacy heroes is probably very key to the MCU's long term plans. Adding 4-5 of the more prominent members might be a good idea.

I'll take him! Would love to see magneto too.
