An accidentally leaked Marvel Rivals ad has revealed potential new additions to the game’s character roster. Human Torch and The Thing may soon join the existing list of 33 characters in Marvel Rivals. Although we only see the two heroes from the Fantastic Four in the selection wheel, there may be more coming soon.
In a leaked X post by @Rivals_Leaks account, we see the first glimpse of two of the upcoming characters. Despite being an official ad, it was quickly pulled from all platforms. It is certain that the developers have not yet shared this promotional video with the fans. The character selection wheel shown in the ad shows The Thing as one Vanguardwhile Human Torch is first in the Duelist list.

Other potentially leaked Marvel Rivals characters
While the developers remain tight-lipped about future plans, fans are eagerly awaiting the expansion of the game’s playable characters. But these are not the only characters coming in the Marvel Hero Shooter game. Some other leaks from @marvelrivalleak on X suggests that the other Fantastic Four characters, including Blade and Ultron, also appear in the game files.
Although these characters are not official, their inclusion in the game files confirms their development. With Season 1 of Marvel Rivals coming soon, Netease can add some of the iconic characters from this line-up to the roster.
I personally would love to see the world-ending antagonist Ultron as a healer in the game. However, a leak from @Rivals_Leaks shows Mr. Fantastic on the Duelist selection screen.

The speculation also hints at the roles of these characters. While Ultron is one Strategistaccording to the leaks, are Blade and Human Torch Duelists. There is still no confirmation for the role of Invisible Woman. Now that the official Marvel Rivals announcement accidentally leaked the Fantastic Four characters, their addition doesn’t seem too far off.
