Season 1 of Marvel Rivals launched with excitement, adding the first two members of the Fantastic Four - Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman - to the roster. Mid-season, The Human Torch, and The Thing are set to join the lineup, and fans believe this is the perfect chance to introduce skins inspired by the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps movie, releasing later this year. Let’s dive into the details and explore how these skins could fit into Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals Players Want Fantastic Four "First Steps" Skins After Trailer Reveal
Almost immediately after the release of the Fantastic Four: The First Steps trailer (which looks fantastic, by the way), Marvel Rivals fans took to the internet to discuss the reveal. The biggest topic? The idea of bringing the Fantastic Four’s classic suits from the movie into the game as skins. With The Thing and The Human Torch set to join the roster mid-Season 1, many believe that by the time the movie drops in July 2025, it would be the perfect opportunity to give the entire team their MCU-inspired outfits.
A Reddit post discussing this exact possibility summed it up well: “NetEase should release the Fantastic Four’s MCU suits on the movie’s premiere.” Many fans echoed this sentiment, with one reply stating, “Assuming Ben and Johnny make their fantastic debut before the movie premieres, it’d be the perfect time to drop their MCU suits. Come on, NetEase.”
Players also pointed out that NetEase has a history of adding skins based on movies and other games. Examples include Wolverine’s suit from Deadpool & Wolverine and the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 set. Another fan highlighted, “They sold the Spider-Man 2 skin alongside the PC release, so they already have a precedent for cross-media promotion.”
With this trend in mind, it seems highly likely that Marvel Rivals will introduce these classic Fantastic Four skins around the movie’s release. Stay tuned as we keep you updated on this potential crossover, as well as the arrivals of The Thing, The Human Torch, and Fantastic Four: The First Steps.
