MODOK
It looks like MODOK — Mental/Mobile/Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing — will be at the helm of this iteration of AIM and will be the game’s big main antagonist.
Nick Fury
Nick Fury has been confirmed, but it’s unclear what his role is in the game or how big it is. That said, as the leader of the Avengers, he will presumably be giving players missions and sometimes calling the shots.
Alisande Morales
Alisande Morales has been confirmed for the game, but it appears her role is minor as a SHIELD Field Commander. She’s perhaps best known as the head of a special SHIELD division meant to track the movements of the extremist group called the Purifiers.
Leader (?)
At the moment of publishing, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have not confirmed the image above is Leader, but it’s unclear who else it could be other than perhaps a brand new villain or an early-game version of MODOK before he reaches his final form? If it’s Leader, that would mean the game has two villains traditional associated with Hulk, with the other being Abomination.
Philip Sheldon
Yes, that was Philip Sheldon in the new trailer.
Marvel’s Avengers is set to release worldwide on September 3 and is in development for PS4, Xbox One, PC, Google Stadia, PS5, and Xbox Series X. For more news, rumors, leaks, and every other type of coverage on the game click here.
“Marvel’s Avengers begins at A-Day, where Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor are unveiling a hi-tech Avengers Headquarters in San Francisco — including the reveal of their own helicarrier powered by an experimental energy source,” reads an official story synopsis of the game. “The celebration turns deadly when a catastrophic accident results in massive devastation. Blamed for the tragedy, the Avengers disband. Five years later, with all Super Heroes outlawed and the world in peril, the only hope is to reassemble Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.”
