The addition of two legendary characters may be the next big thing in Marvel Rivals, as fresh leaks indicate that Deadpool and Elsa Bloodstone might be the cover stars of Season 6. A card from an in-game gallery of Season 5, which looked like it was teasing the next characters, spoke of the coming of a “blathering, foul-mouthed mercenary” and a “monster hunter as deadly as she is beautiful.” The community thinks that these statements are the closest match of the characters to Deadpool and Elsa Bloodstone, hence the rumor being almost confirmed.
The news first appeared as a Twitter post from famous leakers and was later reported by different media, among them Twisted Voxel and Insider Gaming. NetEase Games and Marvel Games have not responded to this rumor. However, the proof on the ground is quite similar to how they have previously used different in-game references to tease the reveal of characters before making formal announcements.

The teaser that players accomplished to spot through a collectible card that was added in Season 5 is presumably the next two heroes subtly described. The “foul-mouthed mercenary” can be only one character, Deadpool, the antihero who is most known for his humor and for directly addressing the audience. The words “deadly monster hunter” also cannot point to anyone else but Elsa Bloodstone, a Marvel Comics character whose supernatural specialist side has made her an expert in monster-hunting lore.
Relying on the description of the collectibles as the next content to be released has been the approach here and also the previous times, which gives more trust in the leak. In the past, Marvel Rivals has teased the new character roster with Easter eggs in the promo material, such as that of the inclusion of Rogue and Gambit.
Why the Leak Holds Weight

NetEase Games has been known for embedding hints about upcoming heroes right within the gameplay. The indication of both a mercenary and a monster hunter in the same breath is very unlikely to be a coincidence. Several independent sources and gaming industry media have come out in support of this leak, thereby increasing the probability that these two characters are the ones planned for Season 6.
However, supporters of the series should still be sceptical of the news before the producers come out with a public statement. In the past, developers have planted fake hints to mislead and create hype among fans and, therefore, not much is known about their roles, time of release, or abilities yet.

What to Expect If the Leak Is True
If such is the case, Season Six could be the one that introduces the Marvel Rivals audience to the most remarkable duo characters ever. Deadpool’s role in the game would probably be the one where he can cause havoc quickly, and also be able to self-heal in some way, while Elsa Bloodstone’s character could revolve around the use of ranged weapons and the execution of monster-themed abilities. The two characters’ coming would have a radical influence on the dynamics of the game’s roster, and also, this new season would be a perfect action-tuned setup.
