A new ad for Marvel Rivals accidentally revealed that two new characters, Human Torch and The Thing, could be coming to the game soon. Marvel Rivals launched with a list of 33 impressive characters, but fans are eagerly waiting for more characters as the developers have not yet shared their upcoming plans.
Marvel Rivals has already become a huge success in just a few weeks of launch. While the core premise of Marvel Rivals is similar to games like Overwatch and Paladins, many believe that its superheroes make it stand out. The developers have been actively adding events, skins, and other new content to the game to keep fans engaged. However, it seems that the offerings don’t stop here, as the game is likely to get some exciting new characters soon.

Spotted by Twitter user Rivals_Leaks, a new ad for Marvel Rivals has given fans a glimpse of the upcoming content planned for the game. The promotion, possibly by mistake, shows a character select screen featuring two heroes Human Torch and The Thing who are not currently on Marvel Rivals’s roster. Human Torch and The Thing are part of the iconic Fantastic Four team, and fans have long been waiting for them to appear in the game. While there’s no mention of a release date, the community speculates they could be coming very soon.
Marvel Rivals Ad Likely Leaked The Thing and Human Torch
This is not the only set of characters leaked for Marvel Rivals in the last few weeks. In fact, an earlier leak suggested that Mister Fantastic could also be coming to Marvel Rivals in the near future. Therefore, adding Human Torch and Thing to the game seems to make more sense. However, a strange thing, which is also a cause of disappointment for some fans, is that there has been no mention of Invisible Girl so far. Still, given all these leaks and speculations, neither the inclusion of Invisible Girl nor the rest of the Fantastic Four has been confirmed in the roster.
Fans believe that these characters will be part of the game’s Season 1 Update, which is set to launch in early January. In fact, another leak has indicated that Ultron could also be added to the list of Marvel Rivals very soon. If Ultron is released alongside the three Fantastic Four characters, it could be a balanced addition. This is because according to the leak, it would mean that players would get a Pawn, a Strategist, and a DPS character, which would suit different play styles.
