The unstoppable Juggernaut is one of Marvel’s most beloved villains, and it looks like he may become a playable character in the future of Marvel Rivals, thanks to hints found in a recent update. In this article, you’ll find everything you need to know about Juggernaut in Marvel Rivals, including current leaks and predictions about his abilities, role, and gameplay.
Juggernaut Marvel Rivals Leaks
While there are no reliable dataminer leaks about Juggernaut so far, his name actually appeared in an official promotional video from NetEase themselves. In the Season 6 Dev Vision, Deadpool was introduced for the first time as a triple-role hero.
What’s even more interesting is the cheeky mention of Juggernaut and Colossus in the video, where Deadpool says:
"Colossus and Juggernaut will lose their minds knowing I’m going to be a Vanguard first."
This line is a strong hint that Juggernaut could eventually join Marvel Rivals as a Vanguard hero. With the current lack of villains on the roster, it would make perfect sense for Juggernaut to be a strong candidate for a future Vanguard addition.
Juggernaut Abilities and Role Prediction
Juggernaut’s role in Marvel Rivals seems obvious even without the hint, he fits perfectly as a Vanguard, and nothing else really makes sense for him. But what about what he could actually do in the game? Before diving into predictions, it’s important to look at Juggernaut’s abilities in Marvel comic lore first.
Juggernaut possesses immense physical strength, capable of tearing down buildings with ease and lifting approximately 100 tons. This devastating power also extends to his legs, allowing him to make incredible superhuman leaps.
Once Juggernaut starts moving in a direction, he becomes virtually impossible to stop. This is his signature ability, representing an irresistible force that plows through anything in his path.
He can withstand massive amounts of damage, including building collapses, attacks from incredibly strong opponents like the Hulk, and even gunfire. He can further enhance this durability by generating a personal force field around his body. This would translate well as a Vanguard in Marvel Rivals.
The mystical Gem of Cyttorak grants Juggernaut an accelerated healing factor, allowing him to recover from severe injuries at an enhanced rate.
Marvel Rivals Juggernaut Gameplay Prediction
Based on his comic lore, it would be fitting for Juggernaut to become a highly durable Vanguard with strong area-of-effect presence.
His most iconic ability, charging forward with unstoppable force, would likely serve as his core skill. With this ability, he could rush ahead similarly to The Thing, but with the added twist of smashing through destructible structures along the way. During the charge, he would be truly unstoppable, meaning crowd control effects would not be able to interrupt him.
His charge would probably travel much farther than The Thing’s, with greater speed and distance. It could end with a powerful headbutt or punch, with damage scaling based on how far he has run. He may also have a super leap ability, similar to Hulk’s jump, allowing him to quickly close gaps or reposition.
Juggernaut is also known for generating a protective force field. In-game, this could function somewhat like Magneto’s shield bubble, but instead of shielding allies, it would grant Juggernaut additional durability, possibly increasing his shield value as he takes damage while the field is active.
His Ultimate ability would likely focus on massive AoE disruption. Juggernaut could channel the power of Cyttorak, becoming immovable and immune to crowd control while unleashing a devastating shockwave that knocks enemies into the air. Afterward, he could gain a temporary boost to survivability and damage.
Overall, this kind of kit would make Juggernaut an aggressive yet durable Vanguard. His gameplay would revolve around breaking enemy formations, smashing through cover, and creating chaos in the backline. While he may not be designed as a high-damage carry, it would make sense for him to be a true tank, extremely difficult to bring down, with one main purpose: disrupting enemy strategies and forcing fights on his terms.
When Will Juggernaut Release?
With the hint from Deadpool, Juggernaut does seem likely to arrive in the future, but probably not anytime soon.
Season 6’s Gallery Card teased characters like Black Cat and White Fox, which strongly suggests they may become playable heroes in Season 7. Deadpool’s in-game voice lines have also hinted at Sleepwalker as a potential upcoming addition, while Cyclops was already teased in the previous season’s Gallery Card.
With several other heroes seemingly lined up first, Juggernaut’s release is more likely to happen later down the roadmap. A realistic estimate would place him in mid to late 2026, possibly around Season 10 or beyond.
That’s everything you need to know so far about Juggernaut in Marvel Rivals. We’ll update this page with more leaks or official details as soon as new information becomes available.
