9 superheroes Marvel should seriously consider for video games after the success of 'Spider-Man' on PlayStation 4

Published by Business Insider on Sat, 15 Sep 2018


Marvel's "Spider-Man" video game released last Friday in the US exclusively on PlayStation 4, and it's already massively successful.The game has an 87 on review-aggregator site Metacritic. Game Informer called the game "a triumph of superheroes and storytelling" and GamesRadar said it's "about as good as superhero gaming gets." The game's first-week sales in the UK were better than any other game released this year; its launch numbers in the US are expected soon, and to be stellar.It would be shocking if Marvel wasn't looking at the results and considering the video-game possibilities for other superheroes.After the success of the "Spider-Man" game, and with Marvel's characters more popular than ever thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it seems inevitable.Fortunately, Marvel retains the video-game rightsto all of its characters, which avoids the kinds of difficulties that the films have faceduntil the recent Disney-Fox merger, Fox owned the film rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four, and Sony, which owned the Spider-Man film rights, made a deal with Marvel so the character could debut in the MCU.Below are nine characters that Marvel should seriously consider for video games:SEE ALSO:Henry Cavill's Superman wasn't beyond saving, and DC could have learned lessons from the Marvel Cinematic UniverseBlack PantherThe "Black Panther" movie made over $1 billion worldwide and has become a cultural phenomenon with Oscar buzz.

Stealth would obviously be a huge factor in the gameplay (think "Tomb Raider").Captain AmericaA World War II-set video game like "Call of Duty" (with less killing, obviously) but you play as Captain America' It seems like a no brainer.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
