Meanwhile, a Reddit user by the handle of BucketHerro recently shared what seems to be a leaked promotional image on r/marvelrivals – one that shows Captain America alongside already-confirmed Marvel Rivals characters Storm and Thor. Steve Rogers is sporting an armored outfit similar to the Marvel Rivals versions of Magneto and Iron Man, with a glowing blue light on his hand that some Reddit users think could be used to recall his iconic shield after it’s thrown in battle. Some other leakers are claiming that this version of Cap is from the year 2099, which has served as the setting for some of the game’s stages, and he is rumored to be a Vanguard per other leaks online.
Marvel Rivals Could Be Adding Captain America
Captain America needs no introduction for comic book fans, and the star-spangled sentinel has been fighting for liberty and justice for all in Marvel video games since the late 1980s. Some of his latest console-based outings include Marvel’s Midnight Suns and the now-defunct Marvel’s Avengers, and he will soon team up with the Azzuri version of Black Panther on the battlefield of World War 2 in the upcoming Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.Close
Assuming that the image shared by BucketHerro is indeed authentic (which seems likely given that it was backed up by reputable leaker Miller Ross), then the Steve Rogers incarnation of Captain America might be enlisting in the Marvel Rivals character roster – though his presence probably won’t be much of a surprise given his status as one of Marvel’s oldest and most renowned characters. This newest leak raises many questions about how the good Captain will play in Marvel Rivals, with his trusty shield and Super Solider serum-enhanced army training providing plenty of offensive and defensive capabilities. In the meantime, the hugely successful Marvel Rivals beta test is about to end, meaning that players won’t have much longer to put the game through its paces.
