Key conclusions
- Marvel Rivals dataminers have found evidence of multiple characters appearing in the game post-launch.
- The same dataminers have now found models and moveset information for two of these upcoming heroes.
- Blade and Ultron seem to be almost finished and will probably be in the game in the near future.
Marvel Rivals dataminers have found character models and movesets for Klink and Ultron, suggesting that it won't be long until they join the game's extensive roster.
While Marvel Rivals got off to a rough start, looking like little more than an Overwatch clone (which it still is), it's managed to make a strong case for itself since its initial launch. One of the main reasons for this is the massive launch character list of 33 characters, which ranges from obvious choices like Spider-Man to obscure legends like Jeff the Land Shark.

While the Marvel Rivals lineup is already more than powerful, there's no doubt that it's going to get even stronger in the future. While the heroes or villains have yet to be officially announced as post-launch content, leaks and insiders have managed to give us a good idea of who's on the way, something that has now been backed up by datamins.
Blade and Ultron end up coming to Marvel Rivals
The first character that the dataminers discovered is one that Marvel fans will surely be happy about – Blade. As demonstrated by Twitter user RivalsLeaks, a character model of Blade has been spotted in game files, showing him with a unique tattoo design on his arm that appears to be dreadlocks and his signature sunglasses.
Blade's character model is the only thing that has been seen of him so far, but his sword makes it very likely that he is another melee-oriented character in the roster. Although his moveset is still unknown, it seems that he is far enough along to have his character model finished and included in the game.
The second upcoming character that has been discovered in Marvel Rivals is Ultron, who was briefly spotted by star players earlier. Ultron's design is what you'd expect, but RivalsLeaks also shared the villain's moveset, which suggests he's a support-type character who also has the ability to float around the map after jumping.
