Disney has yet to introduce Marvel emoji into the game, launched July 2016.
The Match-3 game sees users playing fast-paced timed rounds to complete missions and earn prizes, collecting various Disney, Pixar, and Lucasfilm emoji and their different specialized abilities.
More than 100 emoji are available in-game, featuring characters from Disney’s most popular franchises: Mickey Mouse and friends, Winnie the Pooh, Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., The Lion King, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Big Hero 6 and more.

Disney’s line of Marvel Emoji merchandise suggests the characters will soon join the game, likely to help promote Disney-owned Marvel Studios‘ upcoming superhero blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War, uniting the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy for the first time against universe-threatening villain Thanos.
