Details on Canceled Marvel's Avengers Season 2 Plans and Playable Characters Revealed

Highlights

  • Marvel’s Avengers Season 2 would have featured a playable She-Hulk and Captain Marvel.
  • She-Hulk’s moveset centered around grapple attacks, with a storyline tied to Bruce Banner.
  • Crystal Dynamics’ struggle with long hair in the game’s engine impacted She-Hulk’s inclusion.

As a seasoned gamer who has witnessed the rise and fall of many gaming titans, I must say that the revelation about Marvel’s Avengers Season 2 is both intriguing and heartbreaking at the same time. The thought of playing as She-Hulk and Captain Marvel in a Marvel’s Avengers sequel was undeniably exciting, especially given the unique aspects that were planned for each character.

Information about the abandoned Season 2 of Marvel’s Avengers has emerged, revealing Crystal Dynamics’ intentions to introduce playable characters such as She-Hulk and Captain Marvel. The game faced a mixed response and numerous controversies when it debuted in 2020, with many critics pointing out its repetitive gameplay and live-service structure. Despite the developer’s efforts to keep players engaged through post-launch story and character content, the disapproval intensified as more updates were released.

After receiving unfavorable feedback, Crystal Dynamics decided to discontinue updates for Marvel’s Avengers last year. The final update, Update 2.8, was released in March 2023. All additional character skins and cosmetic items were made free when the online marketplace closed down later that month. On September 30, 2023, all official support for Marvel’s Avengers ended, and the game was removed from all digital storefronts.

Video game leaker Miller Ross recently disclosed some details about potential additions to Marvel’s Avengers if the game had continued past its first season. In a series of tweets, he revealed that She-Hulk was supposed to be included in the game, with voice actor Krizia Bajos (known for her roles in Fire Emblem Heroes and Gotham Knights) providing her voice. Ross also shared concept art of She-Hulk by comic artist Sean Izaakse, giving fans a sneak peek at how she might have appeared within Marvel’s Avengers.

Marvel’s Avengers Season 2 Would Have Featured She-Hulk and Captain Marvel

In the game Marvel’s Avengers, She-Hulk’s fighting style would primarily involve grappling attacks. Her narrative portrays Jennifer Walters as a former superhero who is pulled back into action to aid the Avengers. The storyline emphasizes her complicated relationship with her cousin Bruce Banner (also known as The Incredible Hulk), and she has a strong attraction towards Thor. In Season 2 of Marvel’s Avengers, She-Hulk and Winter Soldier collaborate on various missions, culminating in a boss battle against the Red Hulk for She-Hulk’s quest.

The potential expansion of Captain Marvel was mentioned, but Miller Ross didn’t provide many details on this topic. He did bring up an issue that prevented She-Hulk from appearing in Marvel’s Avengers initially – the Foundation engine’s difficulty handling long hair. This problem was eventually resolved by Crystal Dynamics towards the end of Marvel’s Avengers’ lifespan. Ross is seeking information about Crystal Dynamics’ future plans for Marvel’s Avengers, especially regarding Season 2 and beyond, to shed light on what could have been for this challenging superhero game.
