Fans Believe Marvel Rivals Map Easter Egg Teases Next Hero

Marvel Rivals: Wong Spotted, Fueling Speculation of Future Playable Character

A recently released trailer for Marvel Rivals' new Sanctum Sanctorum map has sparked excitement among players, with many believing it hints at the addition of Wong to the game's roster. The trailer briefly shows a painting of Doctor Strange's mystical ally, Wong, fueling speculation about his potential inclusion as a playable character.

The game, a hit multiplayer hero shooter, boasts over 10 million players in its first 72 hours. Season 1, "Eternal Night," launching January 10th, features Dracula as the main antagonist and introduces the Fantastic Four (including their villainous counterparts, the Maker and Malice as alternate skins).

Reddit user fugo_hate highlighted the Wong painting on r/marvelrivals, igniting discussions about his potential abilities. While Wong's appearance could simply be a nod to Doctor Strange's universe, the inclusion of a prominent character like Wong suggests more than a simple Easter egg. His popularity, boosted by Benedict Wong's MCU portrayal and previous appearances in games like Marvel Contest of Champions and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2, makes him a strong candidate for future inclusion.

Season 1's launch promises three new locations, a new Doom Match mode, and the addition of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman as playable characters. The question remains: will Wong join the fight? Only time will tell.
