Do note that this hasn't been reposted by any legit game news site, only shitty superhero clickbait sites; moreover, the original source from this is some no name website nobody's ever heard of before.

There's also the fact that it seems unthinkable for Disney to hand one their most valuable properties to a studio strongly associated with their most major, direct competitor, a studio that is also owned by their biggest direct competitor.

None of that means it can't be true, but taken together, it doesn't seem very plausible.

Let's hope they give Netherrealm a bigger budget than they gave to Capcom.
that's not how that works

theres an area of doubt

from what i have read in another site

"That Warner Bros published the Lego Marvel games." 

so it's not entirely impossible to collab with NRS

But still take this a grain of salt

I just hope Capcom had something special to salvage the gameplay of mahvel

They could make their own fighters without the Monster Hunter, RE and DMC franchise or even without using Street fighter and Darkstalker.

Because they already had tons of fighting game IP and characters designed specifically for fighting games that is locked on their corporate limbo

Like Powerstone, Red Earth, Plasma Sword, Cyberbots and Battle Circuit

It can be like their own Guilty Gear like franchise and world but with characters from their different fighting game franchise together in one world but not a crossover universe title.

It could took some bit inspiration to MVCi's infinity stone but change it to 'Capcom World Two's Crystals to act like Infinity STORM(not surge) like abilities.

They got cool design that can still diversify cast with decent contrast to each other

... So a crossover then ? But without SF and Darkstalkers ? And all it needs is for corporate to finally decide that they do want to reuse those franchises, even though it's been pretty clear they stopped caring about them nearly two decades ago ?
Not using SF and RE, yeah, that's the idea that's gonna make them decide to care and give it a try.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

What I mean is they can have good range of good roster with contrast and diversity of characters

Even without SF and Darkstalkers because they had tons of fighters in the side

but it's unlikely because SF and Darkstalkers are flagship fighting game characters.

Capcom aren't lacking fighting game characters even without the Marvel side of roster, It's just them doesn't giving those ip they own to be useful

If I would be assembling a Capcom fighter it would certainly have a SF and Darkstalkers but would omit characters that ain't in fighting game and beatem up games like RE and MH

I can see it now

The CAP of COMers '24, coming summer 2024. Featuring never before seen 3v3 turn based team gameplay with a unique four button fighting style



I wish we could get a proper Capcom crossover fighting game. Probably won't ever happen for... some reason.

Well, as MvC has proven for several titles, we can have a successful fighting game franchise with Marvel characters, the genre being niche doesn't prevent it from making a good amount of money and Marvel has a great roster for a fighting game. Also, both Injustice games are rated T by ESRB, so, no, they aren't known for producing exclusively M rated titles and could easily produce a similar game for Marvel. Like Jmorphman said, its not the most likely thing, but its certainly not impossible.

If true I'm hoping it plays like X-Men Mutant Academy 2.

Not one-for-one, I'm sure it isn't a competent game given its marketplace, but didn't Disney go out of their way to make a strictly Disney content-only fighting game?  With Mickey and Peter Pan and Maleficent and whatnot?  Think it was on Google Play for tablets, never touched it or really looked into it other than seeing it announced.

Also they team up with Square Enix for god's sake for one of their biggest contributions with Kingdom Hearts,, who has prior been overjoyed at promoting their Tomb Raider gore porn and to please look at how much detail was put into our custom death animations over jutting a wodden spike through Lara's trachea.  Or just the other M rated titles they tout, even Final Fantasy.

I mean, I get what you're saying but it's not exactly a new challenge.  If this hypothetical Ed Boon Marvel project ends up being, say, a game adaptation of Marvel Zombies, then yeah, that's probably gonna get shot down at the idea pitch phase.  An Marvel fighting game handled just like they did with D.C. though?  I can only imagine it being considered better than the alternative in Disney's eyes if they do want to stay in the video game market than staying hitched to Capcom after MvCI.  Which of course is a shame to MvC but....that's business.

Yeah, the whole thing is complete hogwash.

Kingdom Hearts not only predates the grim n' gritty Tomb Raider reboot by over a decade, but it was also developed by one of SE's internal teams; the company as a whole was known for pretty anodyne JRPGs, and indeed, nobody at the time thought it was a bad fit. SE's huge growth as a publisher in the years since haven't made it any less weird for them to keep working with Disney on Kingdom Hearts games, because their core internal teams aren't making stuff that goes as extreme as NRS does. And so, Disney is fine with their classic cartoon characters being handled by that part of SE. On the other hand, it's pretty hard to imagine them being OK with a Kingdom Hearts game being made by the Tomb Raider devs (though I wouldn't say it was unthinkable at all, just unlikely).

Of course, that developer, Crystal Dynamics, did in fact get handed a Disney property, as seen by their terrible Avengers game. But Crystal Dynamics and Marvel felt like a good fit, owing to Marvel in general targeting an older demographic than Kingdom Hearts does; further, even though the new Tomb Raiders have those weird graphic violence bits, both those games themselves and the franchise as a whole are not at all culturally thought of as ultra-violent and gory games. No one raised an eyebrow at the announcement, nor should they have.

The same cannot be said of NRS. Everyone knows the reputation Mortal Kombat has, everyone knows what that brand is very specifically built on, what is its core lifeblood, what it pursues above all else. MK vs DC turned a lot of heads when it originally got announced, for very good reason! And DC has been and still is very insecure about "maturity" and is a lot more willing desperate to shove it's characters into all sorts of dark and mature situations, all of which is very much not true of Marvel. And especially not their corporate overlords Disney!

I think the biggest shock here is why Warner Bros would allow a subsidiary to develop a game promoting their biggest competitor. Seems like a pretty bad move from a business standpoint. I doubt it's true.

Like why push the Marvel heroes when you have a perfect opportunity to promote your own characters/brands instead?

They probably paid to do it, like Arcsys is with DBFZ instead of Namco Bandai

That maybe something highly questionable if NRS is making a Tekken or SF but it's different.

Like someone said in a different forum "Warner Bros published the Lego Marvel games."

I'm surprised that Max didn't hear this for the first time but a recurring rumor

Still a rumor but I can really see Disney moving away from Capcom after Capcom's previous announcement of rebranding and that rumor of them having more creative control. May be they'll go with an arcade style 2D MVC beat em up. Let's wait and see.

https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2021/may/04/marvel-netherrealm-rumor

Quote
It's unclear how willing Disney would be to play ball with one of their largest competitors in the entertainment space, but deals like these do come down from time to time.

After the poor initial and quick abandonment of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, it'd make sense that Disney would seek out a developer with similar stature and proven track record at producing hits to work on their next potential fighting game.

NetherRealm's ability to craft expansive and impressive cinematic story modes would also likely be one of their biggest selling points to Disney and Marvel as well.

If these rumors do turn out to be true, however, the existence of a NetherRealm x Marvel game would probably spell doom for any future Marvel vs. Capcom project for years to come.

While there had been some signs of promise recently that both companies came together again to release MvC and Marvel Arcade 1Up cabinets, but it's hard to imagine greenlighting competing products anywhere near each other.

It is important to remember that these "leaks" are still only in the realm of rumors, so this information should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
