Since I am here, I wanna share with ya'll something I brought Up to
@Wario Wario Wario and other profile posters some weeks ago about a certain group of characters Who could turn out to be both clever, synergetic and huge picks.
And before anyone says anything (because I know that some people on this site want my butt on a plate due to stuff from literally a decade ago regarding these characters), allow me to explain:
During the 1960s, Hannah Barbera released their as far as I know one and only Marvel IP show in their entire cathalog of classics: The Fantastic Four. There was also a weird The Thing cartoon where he was a teen with magic rings Who transformed him, but that one's more obscure. It was a HUGE hit, so much so that media outlets and the goverment were worried both Fantastic Four and Johnny Quest would harm the minds of the youth with the levels of violence both shows had. Which lead to a huge cencorship.
Why am I saying all of this? Well, fastforward to 2024/2025 and we have this new upcoming Marvel Studios movie about the same team which seems to have a really interesting visual and tonal style:

Did ya'll see It on the posters? It has a 1960s/1970s retro futuristic aesthetic. What a coincidente, specially with that one Hannah Barbera show being from the same decade (which could also as well get a reference in the movie similar to how ITSV had the 60s Spider-Man cartoon).
So here's my speculation: between the fact they are the only Hannah Barbera Marvel characters, the movie going for a similar visual tone as their show and also the potential both for tie-in and character movesets, I feel the Fantastic Four have a non-zero chance to get added to the game, potentially with both the MCU suits and the 60s cartoon versions as alts. Now, how high is this non-zero chance? Idk, because these devs are quite unpredictable and they like to go for really fun and unexpected picks, so the real chances imo are unknown.
And before I post this message, here's my answer to the potential question of how they would add the four without each one taking their own slot: basically the same way Smash does Pyra and Mythra, but with Doom's Time Portal which had a cameo in Multiverse Of Madness:
That's my whole speculation, thanks to those who may read the whole thing.
