Hasbro and Marvel have announced their collaboration to create a series of Marvel-themed card sets for the popular tabletop game, Magic: The Gathering. Over the course of several years, fans can anticipate the release of multiple card sets inspired by Marvel Comics. Both Magic: The Gathering and Marvel possess significant global appeal, making this partnership extremely promising for both franchises. Magic: The Gathering has a long history of introducing new cards, including successful crossover sets featuring Lord of the Rings, Transformers, The Walking Dead, and numerous others. Looking ahead, fans can also anticipate exciting crossovers with Fallout, Final Fantasy, and now Marvel.
The initial Marvel-themed set for Magic: The Gathering is scheduled for release in 2025. With a multi-year agreement in place, numerous additional sets will be unveiled in the future, although details regarding their content are currently undisclosed. Nevertheless, it is evident that this collaboration is set to become one of the most significant crossovers in Magic: The Gathering's history. Marvel enthusiasts eagerly anticipate what lies ahead in 2025 and beyond.
Marvel fans will have to wait to uncover the specific characters set to make an appearance in the crossover sets of Magic: The Gathering. However, the announcement video offers some hints. The video centers around a child who is engrossed in reading Marvel comic books and playing with toys inspired by the beloved superheroes of the franchise. At one point in the video, the child can be seen absorbed in an X-Men comic, with Scarlet Witch prominently featured in one of the panels. Later on, the same child is shown reading a Thor comic, wielding a toy Mjolnir hammer, and even brandishing Captain America's shield. From this video, it appears probable that the Magic: The Gathering Marvel crossover sets will include at least Captain America, Scarlet Witch, and Thor. However, this only scratches the surface, as there is a plethora of other iconic characters that could potentially make an appearance.
There are countless possibilities for the upcoming Magic: The Gathering/Marvel crossover, making it an exciting addition to what promises to be a significant year for Marvel. Alongside the highly anticipated Blade movie and the debut of the Fantastic Four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both expected in 2025, this crossover will conclude Phase Five of the MCU and likely mark the beginning of Phase Six.
