>>92017182>MvC2 and 3 both had a surprising amount of "literal whos" though.My man, you must not know a lot of the behind the scenes history of these games.
2's only literally who addition was Marrow. And thats because Marvel demanded they put her in because they thought she was going to be the next Wolverine. If you're talking about characters like Spiral or Blackheart, they were ported over from previous games.
3's LW would be X-23, who Marvel was trying to push with a new series, Rocket & Nova, who were demanded by Marvel because they were gearing up for the GotG movie at a time when Nova was still in the script and Super Skrull, because Marvel told Capcom if you can't get all 4 Fantastic Four playable, you have to do that as a compromise.
Modok is the only real fanservice addition to the game and Seth Killian implied they fought for it because Capcom felt a mix of famous with obscure characters is for the best.
I find it hard to believe there won't be any obscure characters because if this really is a giant MCU fanservice game... well they have a Phase 4 don't they? They'll want to start awareness of some new characters now. I wouldn't be surprised if Songbird gets in thanks to that rumored Thunderbolts movie.
