Summary
- Marvel Rivals players want Fantastic Four movie skins inspired by the upcoming film The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
- The Fantastic Four: First Steps is scheduled to release in theaters on July 25, 2025.
- Previously, an alternate Spider-Man skin based on the character's Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was added to Marvel Rivals when the game was ported to PC.
Marvel Rivals players are already asking for skins based on The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is set to hit theaters this summer. 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for fans of Marvel’s First Family, as the Fantastic Four is making a huge return to screens large and small over the next few months. For starters, Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman were added to Marvel Rivals as playable characters on January 10, and their teammates The Thing and the Human Torch aren’t far behind.
Meanwhile, Marvel movie fans are gearing up to see the iconic quartet make their MCU debut in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which will arrive in theaters on July 25, 2025. A trailer for the new movie was released earlier this week, giving viewers a look at the Fantastic Four’s retro-style uniforms, The Thing’s more comic-accurate CGI design, and even a glimpse of the dreaded Galactus. Overall, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is getting plenty of buzz for its futuristic 60’s aesthetic, and some gamers are pointing out a prime promotional opportunity for the film ahead of its highly-anticipated release.
Marvel Rivals' Quit Penalty is a Necessary Evil
Marvel Rivals' quit penalty might seem a little harsh at a first glance, but it's necessary to keep the game healthy in ranked and casual play.
Shortly after the Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer was released, Reddit user mighty_and_meaty suggested that NetEase Games release new Marvel Rivals Fantastic Four skins on July 25 to pair with the movie. They note that since The Thing and the Human Torch will likely be added to Marvel Rivals by the time the movie comes out, the timing would be perfect, which is a sentiment many other users on r/marvelrivals agree with.
Marvel Rivals Players Ask for Fantastic Four Movie Tie-In
Such a thing wouldn’t be unprecedented for Marvel Rivals either, as an alternate Spider-Man skin based on his Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was added when that particular game was ported to PC late last month. NetEase has also started offering exclusive rewards to promote Captain America: Brave New World, including a mystery costume that could be a skin for either Captain America or the Hulk.
Marvel Rivals also has plenty of MCU-based character skins already, so a set inspired by the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps wouldn’t be too out of place. Some Reddit users even theorize that these Fantastic Four skins could be offered up alongside tickets for the movie. In any case, Marvel Rivals players can already take to the battlefield as Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman, and the rest of the team will be released soon.
