Although it’s already composed of Warner Bros.' vast roster of characters from its multitude of properties,MultiVersushas some excellent character addition opportunities ahead in 2025. With a few hot releases on the way this coming year,MultiVersussimply has to look at the studio’s upcoming pictures for inspiration.
Of course,MultiVersusshould look at established franchiseswhen considering character addition. After all, the game has historically done this for both new characters and maps. Therefore, the most likely character additions from 2025 projects are characters from established franchises like the DC Universe.
Therecent trailer for James Gunn’sSupermanhas received a rapturous reception from fans and critics alike. While the trailer displayed beloved characters like the Man of Steel himself, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor, the sneak peek also showed off characters that the average viewer might not know, like Guy Gardner.
Supermanis arguably one of the highest anticipated blockbusters of 2025. With its marketing campaign already trickling into the public consciousness, it’s clear thatSupermanwill likely receive a big advertising push as the film’s release date approaches. Because of this ramped-up anticipation and marketing, it would be unsurprising to see newSupermancontent, specifically themed to the new Gunn-led DCU, in video games. This means thatMultiVersuscould usethe new 2025Supermanfilmto its advantage, by adding new content through the game based upon the movie.
What MultiVersus Could Borrow From the 2025 Superman Movie
As part ofSuperman’s promotion, maybe David Corenswet’s portrayal of the character will become available as a skin inMultiVersus, but more interestingly, Superman could be accompanied by character additions. Due to the variety of variants that the DC universe has, adding any characters from DC automatically gives most of these characters the opportunity for skins inMultiVersus. For example,Lex Luthor could be introducedtoMultiVersusbecause of Gunn’s Superman film, featuring aSuperman(2025) variant specifically as further justification.
Lex Luthor would be one of the better character additions fromSuperman(2025) because of his status as Superman’s main nemesis. While Lois Lane is an iconic character, Lex Luthor has a stronger skill set forMultiVersus’ fighting game content. Because of his importance in the DC universe and his immense power, he would be the best character addition to market the upcoming blockbuster.
The Superman Movie Could Be Good News for Green Lantern
Warner Bros. could also useMultiVersusas an opportunityto introduce Guy Gardner to a larger audience. Guy Gardner is one of many Green Lanterns and a member of the Green Lantern Corps. The average movie-goer likely correlates Hal Jordan with Green Lantern, as he’s the Lantern with the most depictions in pop culture, soMultiVersusmight want to split the difference between the two characters. Alongside a proper induction of Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern as a character inMultiVersus, Guy Gardner could be included as a variant skin in the game to marketSuperman(2025).
These are just a few examples ofcharacters that could be introduced toMultiVersusthanks to James Gunn’s upcomingSuperman. The film won’t just establish a new era for DC films and Warner Bros. Studios, but could usher in a new era of character additions and variants forMultiVersus.
