Equip him with his yellow hoverchair alongside his telepathic powers, and Professor X could be a very different style of Vanguard from the rest already in the game.

Why do I have to have a Marvel [movie] that’s all women?" Not that I have anything against women, but why do I have to do that? Why can’t I have Marvels that are both? Why do I need an all-Black cast?... I’m not ready to say [Kevin Feige should be removed as president of Marvel Studios], but I question his rec


Today, dozens of hero shooters in the gaming sphere strive to create memorable characters, but it's a struggle to even gain a fraction of the passion that people feel for the playable characters in Marvel Rivals . The game's cast already has engaging backstories and storylines tied to each one, which immediately helps players feel tied to the characters they are playing. Beloved cast members are nothing unique to hero shooters, but how Marvel Rivals characters work together


And yet, since 2008's Iron Man , the MCU has outclassed Fox's X-Men franchise. The key difference has essentially been that Marvel Studios played the long game, building a shared cinematic universe where each film leads on to the next, culminating in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame . In contrast, Fox has largely seemed to be reactive, tossing countless ideas up into the air to see how they fall, rarely showing any sense of overarching narrative direction. The X-Men films' famous continuity problems are really a manifestation of this core is


The usual fixings of a modern free-to-play team shooter populate Marvel Rivals , giving out loads of player tags, sprays, emotes, and skins to unlock by completing themed challenges or leveling up the battle pass. During the closed beta, in-game currency was earned at a generous rate, giving players enough credits to unlock skins after playing around a half dozen matches, which is hopefully not something that gets more difficult to earn without spending money after Marvel Rivals officially relea

But it's now becoming clear that one man, at least, did have a plan - Matthew Vaughn, writer and director of X-Men: First Class and story writer of X-Men: Days of Future Past . Unfortunately, Fox chose to take a different approach, and it was a big mist


The reality is that Matthew Vaughn's X-Men plan would have taken the franchise in a very different direction - and a far more preferable one. It's true that there were risks. It's entirely possible viewers wouldn't have taken to a recast Wolverine, for example, particularly given that character isn't supposed to age. And yet, there'd have been an undeniable sense of momentum, with the stakes continually increasing; character arcs would have been far more organic, with Xavier and Magneto developing in logical and consistent ways, while Jean Grey's Dark Phoenix turn would have carried a greater impact. Fox had their own visionary, but they chose to ignore him, opting for the short-term win inst


He's seen some time in the fighting pits of Sakaar and lived to tell the tale, meaning he must be a skilled fighter and so would be a worthy addition to Marvel Rivals. Seeing Korg throw down with The Thing, who was one of the 20 characters included in the leak, would be reason enough to put Korg in the ar


It's worth noting that The Marvels does include characters like Nick Fury who aren't women, and both Black Panther movies don't have all-Black casts as Peltz claims. Regardless, it is clear Peltz does not support the creative decisions being made by Feige and Mar

If you're looking for another game that's fast-paced but still want that hero shooter element, Apex Legends has been a mainstay in the space for years now for a reason. Few games feel as good as Apex feels to play, with extremely smooth movement and gunplay, all intermixed with individual heroes that all have very unique abilit


A clear fan-favorite character, Deadpool would be an addition to Marvel Rivals Walkthrough Rivals that would surprise nobody. The Merc With A Mouth has already appeared in plenty of other Marvel games, including the underrated Marvel's Midnight Suns and Ultimate Alliance 3 , with a movie trilogy to b


A game that flew wildly under the radar when it released, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a game that is almost universally enjoyed by those who have played it. Playing as Star-Lord, you lead the Guardians in an adventure that does a good job paying homage to Guardians stories that have come before it while still doing something fr


Vaughn imagined the stories gradually building in scale, with X-Men: Days of Future Past as the third chapter in his series, rebooting the timeline ahead of a new version of the Dark Phoenix Saga . In his view, audiences needed time to bond with Jean Grey as a character ahead of her fall. " It’s arguably the biggest story in X-Men, " he told Polygon . Unfortunately, Fox execs were impressed by Vaughn's draft of X-Men: Days of Future Past , and decided to jump straight to that. Discouraged, Vaughn moved on, although he seems to have been pleased with how director Bryan Singer and writer Simon Kinberg treated his st
