Deadpool Joins Marvel Rivals: First-Ever Triple-Role Hero Revealed in Season 6 Gameplay Trailer

Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth, crashes into Marvel Rivals on January 16, 2026 with Season 6: Night at the Museum. He's the game's first hero able to switch between all three roles — Duelist, Vanguard, and Strategist.
