Additionally, the trailer was packed with Easter eggs, and a specific frame caught everyone’s eye. Now, players are buzzing with excitement as they believe they have figured out which character is going to be the next addition to the game.

During the unveiling of the Sanctum Sanctorum trailer, some sharp-eyed fans caught sight of a portrait depicting the character Wong, who is well-known and beloved by many from the comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans of Marvel’s multiplayer game have picked up on this subtle Easter egg and are speculating that this could hint at Wong potentially joining the game in the future.

What’s more, they’ve already decided what role they’d like to see him presented in the game.

One Reddit user expressed their hope, “I really hope Wong joins the game as a strategist.” They suggested, “The Sanctum Sanctorum and Kamar-Taj could benefit from having another member on their team.

Another played questioned, “Wong being a surprise addition in season 1 when?”

As a gamer, I’ve been brainstorming some ideas about how Wong’s moveset might shape up. For instance, he could have portals that redirect incoming fire straight back at his foes, giving them a taste of their own medicine! Additionally, perhaps there would be a sigil mark on the floor that, when activated, would heal him over time, making him more resilient in the heat of battle.

Who is Wong? Marvel character’s origins explained

As a dedicated gaming enthusiast immersed in the Marvel universe, it’s fascinating to delve into the rich history that precedes Benedict Wong’s captivating live-action portrayal of a character. You see, this sorcerer has been weaving his mystical spells in the Marvel world since 1963, long before I even started my gaming journey!

For years, I’ve walked the path of the enigmatic arts, a devoted apprentice and skilled adept. Side by side with the Ancient One, I’ve served faithfully, and eventually found myself in the company of Doctor Strange.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Wong was first seen in Doctor Strange (2016). Soon after, they developed a strong friendship and worked together on various missions. After Doctor Strange turned into dust at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, Wong stepped up to assume the role of the Sorcerer Supreme – a position he has maintained in the live-action universe ever since.

In various Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films like Shang-Chi, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and She-Hulk, Wong has emerged as a recurring character. Many fans speculate that he could potentially feature in the upcoming game, Marvel Rivals.
