The upcoming Season 1 of Marvel Rivals, titled "Eternal Night," is generating considerable excitement among players. Launching January 10th, the season introduces Dracula as the main antagonist, hinting at a supernatural theme. This speculation is fueled by the confirmed addition of the Fantastic Four – Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, and their villainous counterparts, the Maker and Malice (as alternate skins). But the buzz doesn't stop there.
A newly discovered Easter egg has ignited speculation about a potential future addition to the roster: Wong. A brief shot in the Sanctum Sanctorum map trailer reveals a painting of Doctor Strange's mystical ally, Wong, fueling fan theories about his inclusion as a playable character. The Reddit community, specifically r/marvelrivals, has been abuzz with discussions about Wong's potential skillset, leveraging his magical abilities.
Wong's Growing Popularity and Gaming Presence
Wong's popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, largely due to Benedict Wong's compelling portrayal in the MCU. While previously a non-playable character in games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (2006), he's since appeared as a playable character in titles such as Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Snap, and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2.
More Than Just a Cameo?
While the painting could simply be a tribute to Doctor Strange's ally within the thematically appropriate Sanctum Sanctorum map (itself brimming with Marvel universe references), the possibility of Wong joining the playable roster remains a tantalizing prospect for many players.
Season 1 promises an exciting launch with three new maps, a new Doom Match mode, and the arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. The mystery surrounding Wong's potential future role adds another layer of intrigue to the already anticipated launch of Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night.
