The trailer for Marvel Rivals revealed which popular Marvel heroes and villains will be joining the battlefield.

Many sources have confirmed that Moon Knight will be one of the future additions to Marvel Rivals. The Editor-in-Chief of The Streamr shared on X that he had early access to the game and saw Moon Knight in a previous build, with his assets available.

Another Marvel superhero rumored to be added soon is Thor. It wouldn't surprise anyone to see the God of Thunder join the hero battles, as he has always been a fan favorite.

Considering his main role in the plot of Marvel Rivals, Doctor Doom seems like an obvious choice for a playable character. Although we didn't see him in the trailer, some sources, including articles from The Streamr, claim that he will also be added after the game launches.
