Rumor: Deadpool Could Be Joining Marvel Rivals Soon

The roster of Marvel Rivals may soon be expanding in a major way, if recent leaks are to be believed. According to new reports circulating online, Deadpool, one of Marvel’s most iconic and beloved antiheroes, could be making his debut in the popular team-based hero shooter in the near future.

Fans have speculated about Deadpool’s addition ever since Marvel Rivals launched, and now newly discovered voice lines seem to provide the strongest evidence yet. These clips feature existing characters directly mentioning or alluding to Deadpool, suggesting that his arrival is already planned — and possibly imminent.

New Voice Lines Hint at Deadpool’s Arrival

A well-known Marvel Rivals leaker, X0X_LEAK, recently shared a compilation of nearly three minutes of unreleased character dialogue. These clips reportedly come from the game’s files and include familiar heroes like The Punisher, Scarlet Witch, and Wolverine speaking directly to Wade Wilson by name. Other lines are more subtle but still hint strongly at Deadpool’s signature personality.

For instance, Rocket Raccoon complains about a mysterious teammate who won’t stop talking even after being knocked out, while Venom gripes about someone babbling incoherently. Both descriptions fit Deadpool’s notorious reputation as the “Merc with a Mouth.” Meanwhile, Spider-Man is heard describing a “loose cannon” — another likely nod to Wade’s chaotic nature.

Why Deadpool Fits Marvel Rivals Perfectly

Deadpool’s addition would hardly be surprising. Since his early comic book appearances, he has become one of Marvel’s most popular characters, bolstered by the success of the Deadpool film trilogy and his appearance in the recent Deadpool & Wolverine movie. His unpredictable fighting style and comedic fourth-wall-breaking humor would bring a unique dynamic to Marvel Rivals’ growing roster of heroes and villains.

Marvel Rivals has already hinted at Deadpool before — most notably through a Wolverine skin inspired by the Deadpool & Wolverine film. If these voice lines were recorded during the same production period, it suggests that Deadpool’s arrival has been in the pipeline for some time, but developers may have been waiting for the right moment to release him.

When Will Deadpool Arrive?

The big question is not if Deadpool will join Marvel Rivals, but when. With the game approaching its first anniversary in December 2025, many fans believe Funcom and Marvel Games may be holding his reveal for a milestone update or celebratory event. That timing would also line up well with Marvel’s strategy of tying game content to cinematic releases and anniversaries.

Until official confirmation arrives, fans will need to be patient. But given Deadpool’s immense popularity, it feels almost inevitable that he will join the lineup sooner rather than later. When he does, Marvel Rivals will likely see a major spike in attention — and plenty of players eager to unleash Wade Wilson’s unpredictable antics on the battlefield.
