MCU Game Reportedly In Development
thegamer.comAccording to Cosmic Circus leaker Alex P., an MCU-adjacent video game is in the works.
There have been adaptations in the past, such as Lego Avengers, The Incredible Hulk, and Iron Man, but none within the same universe telling their own standalone stories.
It's unclear who is developing this game, what characters it will follow, or even when it's set. Details are incredibly slim. What we do know is that it joins a long list of upcoming Marvel games, from Blade to Iron Man to Wolverine to two Black Panthers.
James Gunn took the role of what is essentially DC's Kevin Feige a couple of years ago, and his new cinematic universe is finally debuting with Superman next year.
In 2022, he confirmed that--like Marvel allegedly is now--the new DCEU will expand into games that are directly connected to the movies. Once again, we know very little about what's in store.
One of the big worries, which Marvel will also have to address, is that video games take a long time to develop. In the four to six years before they release, anything could change, whether it be the popularity of the cinematic universe itself or just the overarching plan.
For example, Marvel could greenlight a Ghost Rider MCU game ahead of Midnight Sons only for that project to be canned. It's a risky gambit. Gunn addressed these concerns last year, arguing that there won't be any issues because DC has "planned out far beyond" the typical development time.
The biggest name in superheroes and comic books, Marvel Entertainment has been owned by The Walt Disney Company since 2009. Its characters include Spider-Man, The Avengers, and the X-Men, while many of the movies that make up the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) are among the highest-grossing films in history.
