While there’s no way of knowing if more skins fromThunderbolts*will come toMarvel Rivals, many fans were happy to see Sebastian Stan announce the current collaboration. The upcoming movie is scheduled to release on May 2 and follows an unlikely team-up of various anti-heroes from previous Marvel films and television shows.
Ahead of Season 2, NetEase Games revealed that it would be making numerous changes toWinter Soldier inMarvel Rivals. The popular Duelist was removed from the Ammo Overload team-up with Punisher and Rocket Raccoon. Now, he’s part of the Stars Aligned team-up with Captain America, which has proven to be pretty powerful. The Stellar Impact ability allows Winter Soldier to disengage with an enemy by hopping to any ally, which is a great way to escape when he’s in danger. The team-up is especially useful for Captain America, as it gives him an additional 100 health and a 5% increase to his damage. As a Vanguard, it’s important for the iconic hero to have as much health as possible.

The actor Sebastian Stan announced the collaboration and even went as far as to say one of the Duelist’s signature lines from the game.
