MCU Fans Claim James Gunn’s Hope For a DC Solution to Marvel Rivals Won’t Work Due to Sexism

It’s been a while since NetEase Games treated us with Marvel Rivals. The game debuted back in December 2024 and brought some of the most iconic Marvel characters, such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Scarlet Witch, in a 6v6 hero-shooter format.

Marvel Rivals has been a phenomenal success, and it’s still breaking records left and right. This makes us everyone wonder, will DC copy the same hero-shooter path? While James Gunn, the director pushing DC Studios into a new era, is open to the idea, Marvel fans believe it’s destined to fail as DC doesn’t really have female characters.

at one of the recent DC Studios events, Gunn was questioned if there will ever be a DC counterpart of Marvel Rivals. Surprisingly, Gunn stated that the DC’s version of a hero-shooter may be possible, and he’s open to the idea.

Since then, we’ve been seeing fans coming up with story ideas for a DC version of Marvel Rivals. They want the DC hero-shooter to use its own original gameplay mechanics and features to stand out from competitors. However, MCU fans believe that this idea can never work out due to a lack of female characters in DC verse.

are you ready for a roster of 30 male characters and two women?

There’s absolutely no denying the fact that the DC Universe has a number of iconic characters, and a fair share of them are female. However, if DC goes for a hero-shooter like Marvel Rivals, it doesn’t have enough popular female characters who can fit into various roles.

In the Marvel universe, we have tons of female heroes. Right from Captain Marvel, who can take down ships and planets, to She-Hulk, who can tank everything that stands in her way.

However, that’s not the case with DC Universe. For some odd reason, the universe has always revolved around Superman and Batman. Fans have always felt that female characters haven’t received the same levels of limelight. Sure, you have Wonder Woman, Super Girl, and Batgirl, but that’s all the DC universe has to offer, really.

If Gunn really wants a DC version of Marvel Rivals, he must tackle this problem effectively. Otherwise, the hero-shooter would end up being yet another failure for Warner Bros.

It’s not just the idea of a live-service hero-shooter that fascinates Gunn. As reported by

, he’s had conversations with both Rocksteady and NetherRealm and wants a game that takes place in his version of DCU. It’s still years away, but he’s always been open to the idea of bringing games into the DCU.

However, it’s going to be interesting to see how DC makes its own version of Marvel Rivals. Undoubtedly, we’re going to see tons of copycat accusations, but that shouldn’t really be an issue, considering Rivals itself copied Overwatch.

It’s going to be a long while before we see a DC hero-shooter, and who knows if the hero-shooter hype will still be around by then. Focusing on a game with the hopes that it will still make waves years from now could lead to another disappointment like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Surely, Gunn doesn’t want to repeat that tragedy.

With that said, do you think a DC’s take on Marvel Rivals could work? Let us know in the comments.
