The roster of Marvel'southward Avengers may eventually go across the heroes usually associated with 'World's Mightiest Heroes'. In a roundtable interview attended by Wccftech, when asked specifically about potential Ten-Men character additions, Curiosity'due south Avengers Creative Director Shaun Escayg said every hero is on the table as long every bit the developers can persuade Marvel that the character tin can be a valuable asset for the story. Each new hero will take his or her own arc, as requested by Curiosity.

One of the things that is important to know about the way we approach stories, and this is what Curiosity is very skilful at, in terms of opening up that 80-yr-history as long every bit we can ground those heroes and every bit long as we tin can place those heroes in our universe, within our story, every hero is on the table. The opportunity to run into much more diversity of heroes, of storylines, of everything is kind of what we're trying to set up with this living organism that is the AIM dominated earth that happens after the campaign. That'south the foundation of where nosotros tin now create these new stories and story arcs and hero arcs. And yes, the goal is to open up the entire Curiosity universe to use that palette to draw from and place and situate in our earth.

Yep, information technology extends to all of the 80-year-history of Marvel. The procedure of choosing these characters is 'Can we footing them in this world? Can we make a real statement to Curiosity that this character belongs here, this graphic symbol volition motion our story frontward or take the states into new stories?' So it'south all nigh how we write information technology, how nosotros sell information technology, how we situate it, and and then how we then bridge that into sort of the new threat, new escalations of threats, etc.

No graphic symbol can be introduced without a story. That'south function of the Marvel dominion, so nosotros have to have it introduced with a story arc, sympathise what that character is going through, potentially what villain is creating sort of that conflict. That is how we showtime to delve and then in that location'll be sort of a major narrative payload on the direction nosotros cull or wherever we feel like we tin can add a bigger storyline.
