After the enormous success of Marvel's Spider-Man, developed by the team of Insomniac Games, the postponement of Marvel's Iron Man VR and with the imminent arrival on the market of Marvel's Avengers di Square Enix e Crystal Dynamics, what will happen to the Marvel GamerVerse, or rather, what projects will they have in store for us gamers in view of the next-gen? With this article we decided to make a small "review" on which superheroes, from the immense Marvel universe, deserve a dedicated title during the next videogame generation, also given the enormous success of some characters following their debut in Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Doctor Strange
After the death of the cinematic Iron Man played by Robert Downey Junior, the Supreme Sorcerer played by Benedict Cumberbatch, along with the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, will be one of the main pillars of the Phase 4 dell 'MCU, so why not take advantage of this "popularity" by dedicating a video game of your own? Also, the character of Doctor Strange would allow you to introduce in the Marvel GamerVerse, thanks to the likes of Dormammu, Karl Mordo, Nightmare e Doctor Doom, new blood to the brand, with “scary” locations, a strong horror vein and the much-rumored “Multiverses”.
Guardiani della galassia
Why "limit yourself" to planet Earth and the famous Avengers, if we have an immense universe to explore, perhaps in the role of Guardiani della galassia? The title would allow the gamer not only to wander around different game worlds, along the lines of Respawn Entertainment's recent Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but to alternate the various playful sequences by controlling the characters of Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, Groot and Rocket Raccoon. Sure, the overall result could be very similar to the Marvel's Avenger produced by Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics, but given the charisma and character peculiarities of the protagonists, the project could work "damn" well.
Venom
Certainly one of the most beloved of Spider-Man's bitter rivals, Venom could represent the winning pawn among the multitude of heroes present in the Marvel universe. After its recent theatrical appearance, the Ruben Fleischer he outlined the vein even more anti-heroic of symbionte. This time we will not find ourselves in the shoes of the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, but in the irascible "parasite" willing to do anything to safeguard his safety, and that of his guest. Alliances with the bad guys, "fist fights" with the defenseless wayfarers and obviously the fight against a "greater evil".
Black Panther
What if Marvel GamerVerse soon had a "new king"? Sovereign, protector and religious leader of the Kingdom of Wakanda, an imaginary nation of sub-Saharan Africa among the richest and most technologically advanced on Earth, thanks to its immense vibranium deposits, T'Challa, Alias Black Panther, is one of the smartest men in the world, veteran of the Avengers and one of the most influential global political leaders. The king of Wakanda would allow not only to explore totally new locations and cultures, but to tap into one of them comic sagas most loved of the superhero scene, the Illuminati, a group formed by some of the most famous and powerful superheroes on Earth: Iron Man, Namor, Doctor Strange e Mister fantastic.
Scarlet Witch
According to Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, Scarlet Witch is the strongest character in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, so why not demonstrate all its power in a stand alone videogame project? It would be interesting to delve into the origins of the character of Wanda Maximoff, perhaps with the creation of an "original story", along the lines of that proposed by the boys of Insomniac Games with the very recent Marvel's Spider-Man. Powerful superhuman and endowed with immense abilities to alter reality, the debut of the TV series "WandaVision”Exclusively on Disney +, and its appearance confirmed in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, could further sharpen the popularity of the most powerful superhero in the Marvel universe.
Ant-Man
Another character who was particularly valued byMCU is definitely Ant-Man, which thanks to its "theft of time"Allowed our Avengers to take revenge against Thanos. So, given the fundamental role played within the Marvel cinematic universe, why not dedicate a videogame project of your own? L'ant man it would allow not only to introduce frenetic game mechanics, but also to explore the game world with a completely new perspective, given its small size, with “gigantic” buildings and a multitude of obstacles to avoid. Furthermore, if necessary, we can always activate the "Giant-Man“, Further overturning the limits of physics.
Moon Knight
And finally we find the fearsome and tormented Marc Spector in the role of Moon Knight. Certainly little known character compared to his other illustrious "colleagues", who have obtained greater splendor following the great success achieved in these long 11 years with the MCU, but it would appear that i Marvel Studios it's the same Disney have big plans on the masked vigilante, after the announcement at D23 of a exclusive tv series on Disney +. Surely the development of a videogame entirely dedicated to Moon Knight would allow the Californian studio, and the house of Mickey Mouse, to create something “similar” to the DC Comics counterpart, but at the same time addressing new themes, outside the box.
