Avengers LEAK: Every Playable Character That Will Be Included

1. Spider-Man

Marvel's Avengers Doctor Strange Black Panther
Crystal Dynamics/Insomniac

We already know Spidey is going to be included in Marvel's Avengers...but it's not without some controversy.

It was announced recently that Spider-Man was going to be included in the game, but he's going to be exclusive to the PlayStation version. While this is annoying for gamers on other platforms, it kinda makes sense if you think about it. Sony has long since owned the Spider-Man IP, had an exclusive game created by Insomniac for the PS4, and still holds the reigns to the character in movies. As the company behind the PlayStation, it seems unlikely they'd want to give it up to their competitors.

That said, it's still a bit of a smack in the face for other gamers, as playing as Spider-Man is surely to be one of the highlights of the game. Expect web swinging capabilities, Spidey's trademark acrobatic combat style, web shooters and loads upon loads of costumes to be included when Spidey swings into the game at a future, undisclosed date.
