Last month, Crystal Dynamics announced some big updates for
Marvel’s Avengers
. A
Black Panther expansion was revealed
for sometime later this year along with several new content drops for the spring and summer.
In a roadmap for the game, Crystal Dynamics unveiled that skins based on outfits from the Marvel Cinematic Universe would make their way to the game. With no other information, it was unclear which skins would actually wind up in
Marvel’s Avengers

PROFESSOR HULK COMES TO MARVEL’S AVENGERS

I wish I could find the original source on this (apparently it’s a private Facebook group) but either way, I’m leaning toward real. It’s damn convincing, and Hulk has had this issue (wrong outfit rendering) in the past. pic.twitter.com/vkIouDcPVK

Considering that, last month, Crystal Dynamics promised that skins inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe will soon be incorporated into the game, it would make sense for this Hulk skin to be
Avengers: Endgame-
inspired.

A FIRST GLIMPSE LOOK AT MCU SKINS
The leaked images and video of Professor Hulk are persuasive enough to suggest that this is likely a real skin for
Marvel’s Avengers
.
Crystal Dynamics first revealed that MCU-inspired skins would hit the game in the Square Enix Presents showcase last month. During the event, the developer highlighted a roadmap that indicated that
“outfits inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe”
will be included in future updates. Could we see more looks from Avengers: Endgame in future updates?
It’s unclear what specific outfits will find their way to the game, but Professor Hulk’s inclusion might suggest that skins inspired by recent MCU projects will be added first.
Black Widow
is set to release this July, and
Marvel’s Avengers
’ “Red Room Takeover” event in May was supposed to coincide with the film’s original May release. Perhaps a skin for Black Widow, inspired by her white outfit in the upcoming film, will be added to the game for some brand synergy.

Going forward, Crystal Dynamics will likely line up MCU-inspired skins around future MCU projects. Later this year, it’s possible that skins for Clint Barton and Kate Bishop will be added to the game based on new looks from the
Hawkeye
TV series. It’s a marketing opportunity to drive attention toward
Marvel’s Avengers
by leveraging the popularity of the MCU.
