Dataminers and leakers have already kept themselves busy with all things Marvel Rivals, and as a result, several key pieces of information have been uncovered. There have been a number of different characters identified through datamining that are now expected as the most likely candidates to show up as playable options when future updates are released. If you've found yourself curious about who these heroes may be and what potential role they will fit into, all relevant information has been included in the guide below.

Marvel Rivals: All Potential Datamined & Leaked Heroes

As of March 2025, there have currently been 22 different potential new Marvel Rivals heroes and villains identified through datamining. However, it is important to note that just because relevant information such as design notes and potential ability sets have been uncovered through this process, this does not necessarily mean that all of these characters will appear in-game anytime soon.

Rather, this information can be used to gain an understanding of individuals who have been considered for the game and may enter development at some stage further down the line. While some characters have additional information that can be found regarding the role that it seems they will likely fit into if they are fully developed, most of these concepts remain a mystery until further notice.

To help eager fans gain a more accurate visual idea of these individuals and what they may end up looking like in-game, a chart showcasing every datamined character has been created. Shared by Marvel Rivals news and updates source, @RivalsIntel on X (formerly Twitter), the post below features custom character artwork created by user @nakoneart — influenced by the iconic Marvel Rivals in-game art style.

Aside from the characters featured in the custom artwork above, there have also been an additional few possible characters identified through the likes of vague references and voice lines of characters who are already in the game. As some of these characters have very limited information, all potential character names and concepts should be taken with a grain of salt.
