Alright, so Marvel Rivals just spilled the beans on this wicked new team-up thing with Human Torch and The Thing. And yeah, it’s like a total shoutout to the Fantastic Four movie that’s about to hit the big screen. I mean, timing’s everything, right? Or maybe it was just a happy coincidence. Who knows.
So, about this move—they’ve got this scene where Human Torch like, lifts The Thing up high. The Thing becomes this crazy flying battering ram. If you’ve seen the movie trailer, you’ll get the picture. It’s called “First Steps,” which kind of fits perfectly, don’t you think? Anyway, what’s cool is how it hints at a future where more of these movie-inspired team-ups might pop up. Yeah, I’m kind of secretly hoping for that.
Oh, and there’s a side note, like, Galactus is making his big debut in the MCU with this movie. Just saying. I have this weird fascination with giant cosmic entities. Why? No clue.
The game’s third season kicked off with promises that sound almost too good to be true, and now—boom—we get this Fantastic Four stuff just in time for the movie. I swear, if NetEase doesn’t dig into more MCU movies for inspo, they’re totally missing out. But I guess they also have to pick and choose, ’cause not every flick has those “wow” moments, you know?
Meanwhile, I heard something about these Guardians of the Galaxy guys, too. Star-Lord, Mantis, and Warlock are doing this trio dance that gives off serious Guardians 3 vibes. Feels a bit nostalgic, right? But here’s hoping for more direct movie nods in the game. Fingers crossed.
Anyway, mark your calendars—July 24 is when the Human Torch and The Thing duo officially arrives. I’m kind of anxious to see how many folks will want to try it out. Speaking of what’s next, Blade’s cutting his way into the game soon. August 8, if you’re keeping track. Season 3.5, here we come! I’m already picturing some epic swordplay.
Oh, wait, almost forgot—Magik and Black Panther are getting these Phoenix-themed skins on August 1. Yeah, things are gonna heat up. Marvel Rivals keeps surprising us, and honestly, if they can keep drawing from this endless MCU well, fans are gonna be pretty spoiled. It’s a bit like opening Pandora’s box, but with superhero chaos. Fun times ahead!
