Marvel Rivals is now advertising MCU films directly from their Times Square.
[It's in the trailer for the map reveal btw.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIpkjohfu3E)

Uh, Mr. stark?
manch022025-11-12 02:14
This is hype.
Imagine if they have in-game events where they show certain movies and tv shows that you can watch with everyone.
Imagine Peter Parker is getting dusted in Iron Man's arms while 100 Spider Men use the dance emote.
Also, we desperately need an Infinity War related emote where a character turns to dust
ijustuseredditformem2025-11-12 02:29
Yes I’ve been saying this if I can watch a marvel movie/show in game it would be so peak. Also you’re right about that emote and I don’t know how that’s not happened yet.
_Spartex2025-11-12 02:29
Imagine if the game didn’t suck.
UnnecessaryFeIIa2025-11-12 02:54
In general i'm surprised they haven't done the Infinity War or Endgame Thor yet
manch022025-11-12 03:01
Fat Thor will sell millions.
Especially if has the headset on
Resident_Role_34492025-11-12 03:09
that would be epic, watching all that drama go down with friends would be wild
HamDanTDN2025-11-12 03:44
That's some fortnite type shi
manch022025-11-12 03:46
Hell yeah why not? Fortnite is probably the biggest video game of the modern era at this point. Makes sense to copy things.
Imagine a situation where a new trailer for a movie premieres within the game? That would be cool
Holovoid2025-11-12 14:02
Oh you mean like when they locked the backstory of the final Star Wars movie behind a Fortnite event and then didn't explain it at all in the movie?
Because I think most people universally agreed that was a fucking idiotic idea
Ronin_mainer2025-11-12 14:09
That is not equivalent to a movie trailer
Holovoid2025-11-12 14:22
I'm just saying we've been down this road before and its really fucking annoying. No thanks.
manch022025-11-12 17:20
I don't think it's a bad thing to show a movie trailer in-game first then release it afterwards online.
The problem with the Palpatine thing is that it was EXCLUSIVE plot locked behind a game.
It should have been released online or incorporated into the movie
Holovoid2025-11-12 17:22
Sure, I think it could work decently if implemented well. But we have historical precedence of it being not implemented well and I honestly don't trust basically any marketing team at this point to properly do this kind of stuff lol
mastertev2025-11-12 22:28
It’s not about who does it first, it’s about who does it right.
SirDavidJames2025-11-12 02:41
I had to read that sentence 3 times before I understood it.
...is it a store in NY?
...why would Marvel call a store Marvel Rivals?
...oh its a game... its a virtual Times Square
AceofKnaves442025-11-12 02:53
I had no fucking clue what any of this meant until you spelled it out.

They are absolutely gonna do a Luna Snow concert at some point
BiscuitsAndMilk02025-11-12 12:22
Has the post been edited since your comment?
anthonyg15002025-11-12 12:53
Ohhh thank you, I just assumed they forgot to put “billboard” at the end of the sentence but it was still weird because I don’t think Marvel has their personal billboard that’s always theirs in Times Square
p_yth2025-11-12 14:53
Yeah I had a stroke reading this
Jawzilla12025-11-12 21:37
Metaverse achieved
Stride3452025-11-12 02:50
Ok but they are absolutely going to start dropping Easter eggs and hints towards future seasons/releases in the mode
UnnecessaryFeIIa2025-11-12 02:54
Cyclops is almost a guarantee for next season or the one after because of all the teases they gave of him in the recent trailer
Stride3452025-11-12 03:16
With all these in universe “ads” though, it’s gonna be a hub for people wanting to be the first to see something that’ll hint toward the future. Seeing blade on one map was big for hyping him up. Now there’s a mode they can dump stuff like that in
Imagine a Deadpool cutout in a random back alley handing out a free Christmas emote or something. Like you click it, he does a voice line and you get some free blue coins. Unlockable once for sure but that would be some damn good hype
AntonChigurh89332025-11-12 03:18
Praying that Cyclops gets some love in Doomsday
fast_flashdash2025-11-12 05:04
He will. He’s gonna get his classic yellow and blue suit as well
AntonChigurh89332025-11-12 05:34
Capital_Pipe_60382025-11-12 06:40
The final season 5 gallery card already revealed that the next heroes are >!Deadpool and Elsa Bloodstone!<
TobioOkuma12025-11-12 14:20
One after, next season is confirmed by a gallery card to be Elsa bloodstone and Deadpool
fistkick182025-11-12 15:24
Presumably the patch is titled Marvel Rivals: Ultimate Edgelords
Only way I can think those characters are connected lmao
nate_ranney2025-11-13 08:18
Wait is Elsa an Edgelord? I just started reading her stuff and she has the opposite of Edgelord vibes so far.
fistkick182025-11-13 17:29
I mean, like obviously she's a *little* edgy. Girl's name is literally **Bloodstone** and she's a monster hunter.
I was just making a joke anyway - those two aren't even the edgiest Marvel characters. Madelyne Pryor is way way way edgier than Elsa.
androodle20042025-11-15 01:17
Dd is the edgiest in the game imo. Him or punisher
fistkick182025-11-15 20:14
Different kinds of edge
CaptHayfever2025-11-12 04:43
They better not put Palpatine's surprise broadcast in there.
Stride3452025-11-12 05:30
“Somehow Palpatine returned”
9FingeredFrodo2025-11-12 06:12
The dead speak! (in Fortnite)
ijustuseredditformem2025-11-12 21:14
Such a fire idea if I can watch the new season info in game holy peak.
AceofKnaves442025-11-12 02:52
Honestly if I had enough money, I’d probably rent out space in Times Square and just play the Iron Spider suit up scene for absolutely no reason on repeat.
AceofKnaves442025-11-12 02:55
Then having all the Venoms together just twerking fucking cracked me up. Hands down one of the funniest things ever unleashed in a video game.
CeruleanEidolon2025-11-12 03:25
Wow, advertising in a game? What will they think of next.
eBICgamer20102025-11-12 03:26
First trailer for Avengers: Doomsday requires you to log into Marvel Rivals to watch it. /s
Independent_Ad_63482025-11-12 03:48
Shhhhhh dont give them ideas.
_Levitated_Shield_2025-11-12 03:57
Marvel if had YouTube's CEOs:
whitebandit2025-11-12 04:03
this is kind of a cute little way to do it though tbh... its in a free game, and this is a "special mode" that people basically already do in other modes, in which, its just a "run around and emote and do stupid shit mode".. with the clips of marvel movies as kind of a side feature
pretty neat for a free to play game tbh
Quirky-Chemistry-9782025-11-12 03:54
this is bringing me back to the old gmod days 🥲
_Levitated_Shield_2025-11-12 03:56
From their... Times Square? I thought Rivals was a fighter game?
_Eltanin_2025-11-12 03:59
You're thinking of Tokon Fighting Souls. Rivals is the hero shooter
NowWeGetSerious2025-11-12 04:06
I'm so confused. What the hell is their time square.
And is this like New York time square or a Disney parks things .
This title gave me a aneurysm
decitronal2025-11-12 05:33
Marvel Rivals has a fictionalized version of Manhattan, New York as a playable map
Cardinal_and_Plum2025-11-12 13:53
*will have
skywalker1709972025-11-12 04:32
what else are they supposed to do?
advertise DC movies?
darksaber5222025-11-12 05:14
So they’ll probably play the Doomsday trailer there as well, right?
RorrikTheGreatful2025-11-12 05:54
Brilliant move. It may make you drop the game to watch a movie with the buds.
If only it could be interactable if you have a Disney plus account, put you and your gang into a watch party.
ThisOneGoesElven2025-11-12 07:31
I don't hate it. Rivals is the first grassroots hype Marvel has had for a while, so their marketing going where the audience is sounds smart to me.
Suavecito702025-11-12 07:40
Imagine the first look at dooms day was on this lmao
JaDe_X1052025-11-12 11:34
Why are there multiple Captain Americas all holding tridents?
Lun4r65432025-11-12 18:54
They aren’t.
They’re sitting down, with Thor in front of them holding Odin’s staff, also sitting down.
Zengjia2025-11-12 11:49
Everyone gets their own Times Square these days…
HowardBunnyColvin2025-11-12 12:21
this actually seems pretty cool.
KurtCoBANE2025-11-12 13:38
Hey stick around, it’s going to start again in a few minutes!
ThrowRAkakareborn2025-11-12 19:40
Is this Fortnite?
ThisIsntRael2025-11-13 00:13
Would be awesome if they just rolled an entire movie and had a watch party or sumthn
Fizzy_Amp2025-11-13 01:46
This made snese because of NYE contents on December 31. It will be interesting to see that!
