Marvel’s Avengers next post-launch character has leaked. Crystal Dynamics’ Avengers game hasn’t added a new character since this last fall when it added Spider-Man. Spidey was only for PS4 and PS5 players though, which means those on Google Stadia, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X haven’t received a new character since Black Panther was added. So far, 2022 hasn’t gifted players with any new characters nor has there been word from Crystal Dynamics about this changing. And this hasn’t changed, but we do have a new report that has not only relayed word of a new character, but has revealed the identity of this character.
The report comes the way of Miller over on Twitter. According to a thread from Miller, the next character added to the game is going to be Jane Foster, whose release will coincide with Thor: Love and Thunder’s marketing campaign from some good ol’ promotional synergy.
“I look forward to seeing Crystal Dynamics’ interpretation of Jane Foster,” said Miller. “A strong Season 2 for Marvel’s Avengers is on the horizon, and direct synergy with Thor: Love and Thunder’s impending marketing campaign is a compelling kickoff.”

Adding to this, Miller also provided an update on She-Hulk, who fans of the game heard was going to be the next DLC character last year. So, what happened? Well, Miller claims the character’s release was pushed in name of more marketing synergy.
“I do believe She-Hulk was pushed from Q4 2021 (which, as I understand, they were on track to meet) in relative alignment with her eponymous Disney+ series’ delay,” said Miller.
For now, take everything here with a grain of salt. While the source in question is reliable and reputable, it doesn’t negate the fact that this is all unofficial. Further, even if it’s all completely accurate, it’s also subject to change.
At the moment of publishing, neither Crystal Dynamics nor Square Enix nor any individual with any connection to the game have commented on any of this. We don’t anticipate this changing for a variety of reasons, but if it does, we will be sure to update the story accordingly. In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts and hot-takes in the comments section or, alternatively, hit me up on Twitter @Tyler_Fischer_ and let me know over there. What do you think of Jane Foster being added to the game?
