Before we dive into the leaked Marvel Rivals hero list, please note that this is datamined information from various notable leakers that is subject to change. 

It wouldn’t be too far-fetched if some of these heroes never see the day of light, as nothing has been confirmed by NetEase as of this writing.

As mentioned previously, some of these leaked heroes may not be released at all, as development plans could change anytime.  

That said, a few of the heroes on this list are more likely to be released sooner rather than later. 

For instance, Ultron had its entire kit leaked via an in-game screenshot by X user RivalsLeak and will apparently be released sometime in season 1.

However, given how Human Torch and The Thing are confirmed to arrive in the second half of Marvel Rivals season 1, Ultron could get delayed to season 2.

Likewise, notable leaker XOXLEAK took to X to confirm the X-Men characters and their archetypes, thus suggesting that these are further in development than most other leaked heroes on the aforementioned list. 

That’s all the upcoming leaked Marvel Rivals characters so far. NetEase plans to add two new heroes from season 2 onwards, so it could be a while until your favorites from the list are available.
