Marvel Rivals is currently in Season 8.5, with Cyclops as the newest hero. Just before the season started, new leaks regarding the Season 9 heroes began circulating, revealing two possible new characters that could be added to the game.
Leaked Heroes for Marvel Rivals Season 9
Just as players are getting excited about the long-awaited addition of Cyclops to the game, new leaks have emerged regarding possible heroes for the next season. According to prominent Marvel Rivals dataminer X0X_LEAK, Season 9's new heroes will be The Hood and Jubilee.
Both characters have reportedly had data files in the game for quite some time, and this latest leak further increases the likelihood of their eventual release.
The Hood
Parker Robbins, AKA The Hood, has been a major topic of discussion within the community, as his files were previously leaked to be in the game. Alongside that, NetEase has also officially hinted at his addition in the Lower Manhattan trailer, where a red cape can be seen inside a glass container.
Past leaks revealed that The Hood will use dual pistols, making him potentially similar to Deadpool in terms of weaponry. He is also believed to have shield-management abilities and even clone projection mechanics.
According to X0X_LEAK, The Hood could be a Vanguard, although this is still subject to change. To learn more about him, check out our The Hood guide.
Jubilee
Jubilee, another member of the X-Men, could be joining Marvel Rivals following the arrival of Cyclops. According to X0X_LEAK, Jubilee is believed to be one of the characters introduced in Season 9 or Season 9.5.
Back in 2025, Jubilee was already teased in one of the Gallery Cards. If you've been following the lore featured in these cards, you'll know that they often serve as major hints about which characters may arrive in future seasons.
According to the same dataminer, Jubilee is expected to be a Strategist, which would fit well with her powers and support-oriented potential. However, no details about her possible abilities have been leaked so far.

Marvel Rivals Season 9 Release Date
Based on the current timeline, Marvel Rivals Season 9 is expected to release around July 12, 2026. However, this is still subject to change, as the release schedule for new seasons does not always follow an exact one-month cycle.
