Marvel Rivals’ newest hero tease seems to confirm new X-Men member, plus latest round of leaks

A brief *Marvel Rivals* teaser showing Jeff the Landshark vanish in purple smoke alongside the word “BAMF!” strongly signals that X-Men hero Nightcrawler is joining the game. The hint arrives ahead of Season 11, which is due to begin on Friday, and gives more weight to reports about other characters in development.

Earlier data-mined reports named Nightcrawler and Doctor Doom for Season 11; further leaks suggest a larger group of playable characters could arrive in 2027. A list circulating among players has been estimated to include Dazzler, Dracula, Spider-Gwen, Green Goblin, Bishop, Cable, Miles Morales, Misty Knight, Captain Marvel, Vision and Clea, while leaker MultiverSusie said it was about 90 per cent accurate and hinted Ghost Rider was missing.
