The newest heroes coming Marvel Rivals have been revealed as Gambit and Rogue of the X-Men, and they may be joined by yet another teammate soon.
Season five of Marvel Rivals is named Love is a Battlefield, and the trailer for it teased several couples in the game, including Black Panther and Storm, Loki and Mantis, and Venom and Scarlet Witch...? I'm not so sure about that last one, but there's another potential paramour to be found within the scenes.
Spotted multiple times in the trailer, a man with red sunglasses can be seen attending the wedding of Gambit and Rogue before things go awry. And he's all anyone seems to be talking about on social media. Everyone is thinking it's the leader of the X-Men himself, Cyclops. He can be seen at both 12 seconds and 1:02 of the trailer below.
And if the love theme continues throughout season five, who's to say he can't potentially join as a third new hero alongside his teammates? His lover, Jean Grey/Phoenix, is already in the game, so it would fit thematically.
It's possible that the red-spectacled suit may be Matt Murdock or Daredevil, too, but the slight tinge of red behind the shades themselves are leading everyone to believe it's Scott Summers, AKA Cyclops, who needs a visor of some kind to control the energy blasts that pour from his eyes.
For the season's lore, it appears that the wedding is interrupted by a new overarching villain, likely to be Grandmaster. You may know that character from the Thor Ragnarok Marvel movie, where he was played by Jeff Goldblum. Whatever they've got up their sleeve this time, we'll have to wait and see, but streamers will likely be going hands-on with the new season over the coming days, so the wait isn't much longer.
The trailer also teases several new skins for heroes, such as Emma Frost and Magneto, both dressed very nicely for the occasion. We'll know all there is to know when Marvel Rivals season 5: Love is a Battlefield begins on Nov. 14.
The post Gambit and Rogue officially coming to Marvel Rivals Friday, but it’s another X-Men member everyone can’t stop talking about appeared first on Destructoid.
