Marvel Fans Buzzing: Hidden Gem in Map Foreshadows Upcoming Arrival

Marvel Rivals: Wong's Potential Arrival Sparks Fan Speculation

A recently released trailer for Marvel Rivals' new Sanctum Sanctorum map has ignited speculation among players regarding the potential addition of Wong to the game's roster. A brief glimpse of a painting depicting Doctor Strange's mystical ally, Wong, has been interpreted as an Easter egg hinting at his future inclusion.

The game, a multiplayer hero shooter attracting over 10 million players in its first 72 hours, launches Season 1, "Eternal Night," on January 10th. This season features Dracula as the main antagonist and will introduce the Fantastic Four (including their villainous counterparts, the Maker and Malice as alternate skins).

Reddit user fugo_hate highlighted the Wong painting in the Sanctum Sanctorum trailer, sparking debate on r/marvelrivals. While the painting might simply be a reference to Doctor Strange's universe, the inclusion of a prominent character like Wong fuels anticipation for his potential playable role. The possibilities for his magic-based abilities are already being discussed.

Wong's Growing Popularity:

Wong's popularity has surged in recent years, largely due to Benedict Wong's memorable portrayal in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While previously appearing in games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (non-playable) and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2, a playable Wong in Marvel Rivals would be a significant addition.

Season 1 Launch:

Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night launches this week, introducing three new maps, a new Doom Match mode, and the playable Fantastic Four. Whether Wong joins the fray remains to be seen, but the Easter egg has certainly fueled the excitement surrounding the game's future updates.
