Marvel Rivals fans are ecstatic about the arrival of Season 5 and the debut of Gambit as the newest hero. Adding to that excitement, recent leaks have revealed even more thrilling news, hinting at the possible next heroes coming in Season 6, Elsa Bloodstone and Deadpool. Here’s everything you need to know.
Season 5 Gallery Cards Hint at Upcoming Marvel Rivals Heroes
NetEase has successfully built up major hype for Marvel Rivals with the introduction of Gambit and Rogue in Season 5. This move has even drawn many players back to the game, resulting in a noticeable increase in player count. However, the excitement doesn’t stop there, new leaks have surfaced, revealing potential hints about the heroes coming in the next season.
According to prominent dataminer X0X_Leak, the current season’s Gallery Card contains a paragraph that teases who might be arriving next:
Believe it or not, I happen to have a few Earth-born operatives of my own that have been working for me behind the scenes: a blathering, foul-mouthed mercenary and a monster hunter as deadly as she is beautiful. They already know my Gallery well, and they won't hesitate to pull the trigger when they find their targets. Plus, they will make the chase far more amusing to watch.
In the quoted paragraph shown on the gallery card, the mentioned figures are described as a “blathering mercenary” and a “monster hunter.” These descriptions clearly hint toward Deadpool and Elsa Bloodstone.
This conversation is narrated by The Collector, who appears to be the central theme of Season 5, possibly tying into the rumored Collector’s Theme Park map. The story also involves The Grandmaster, another pivotal figure in this season’s narrative.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at how Elsa Bloodstone and Deadpool could shape up in Marvel Rivals.
Deadpool
Deadpool’s files were leaked months ago through a series of voice lines, and it seems he might arrive sooner than expected. Based on his lore, the most fitting role for him would be a Duelist. However, he could also be introduced as a Vanguard who’s incredibly hard to take down.
If he appears as a Duelist, he’ll likely wield his iconic dual pistols, with attacks that function similarly to Winter Soldier’s, heavy yet fast projectiles. On the other hand, if he’s a Vanguard, he’ll almost certainly have passive healing, reflecting his fast regeneration ability from the comics.
Either way, it’ll be exciting to see how NetEase chooses to implement this unpredictable and chaotic character into Marvel Rivals. You can check more details on Deadpool's leaks below.
Elsa Bloodstone
Elsa Bloodstone, the stylish and fearless monster hunter, has also appeared in recent leaks through game files. Although her file surfaced only recently, it seems she might arrive sooner than some of the other long-leaked characters. Elsa is currently speculated to be either a Duelist or a Strategist.
If she’s a Duelist, her gameplay would likely focus on her marksmanship, using her rifle and shotgun, possibly featuring mechanics similar to Ashe from Overwatch. However, if she’s introduced as a Strategist, her abilities would probably revolve around her iconic Bloodstone Choker, which grants her powerful magical abilities.
While not many players may be familiar with Elsa Bloodstone, hardcore Marvel fans certainly recognize her. Once she joins the roster of Marvel Rivals, it’s almost certain she’ll gain a whole new fan base. You can check more details on Elsa Bloodstone's leaks below.
When Will They Release?
Heroes hinted at in gallery cards have consistently appeared in the following season. Angela and Daredevil were teased in the Season 3 gallery card, while Gambit and Rogue were hinted at in Season 4, and both pairs made their debut the next season. Based on this pattern, it’s safe to assume that Elsa Bloodstone and Deadpool will likely be released in Season 6, possibly around January 14, 2026.
However, it’s important to note that these are speculations based on hints from the gallery card. There has been no official confirmation from the developers regarding their release.
