"We know there has been much speculation on who the remaining four DLC characters will be, and we are happy to announce that Monster Hunter, Winter Soldier, Black Widow and the shape-shifting Venom will all be battling their way into Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite later this year. We are hard at work on these characters and can't wait to show them to you when they are ready!" Capcom said in a statement.
As for Black Widow, a.k.a. Russian spy Natasha Romanoff, she is the only character out of all the original Avengers to not be included in the original roster. Thankfully, she is getting the highlight she deserves in this new installment. Furthermore, it is also quite noticeable how four of these new characters come from the Marvel universe with only Sigma and the Monster Hunter coming from Capcom. These new developments had inevitably tipped the balance of Marvel and Capcom heroes with the advantage going to the former.
There is no word, however, regarding what roles these characters would play in the game. However, the female Monster Hunter would be making an appearance in the story mode.
"Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite" is available now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
