With Captain America: Brave New World releasing in theaters in just a few weeks, movie theater chain Regal Cinemas has announced a tie-in with the popular free-to-play game Marvel Rivals.
Regal Crown Club — the theater chain's loyalty membership program — is giving away exclusive digital cosmetics in Marvel Rivals for anyone who buys tickets to see Captain America: Brave New World on opening weekend. The bundle will contain a spray of the Hulk holding Cap's shield, a nameplate featuring Sam Wilson as Captain America, and a "mystery costume."
As you can see, they are keeping the costume a mystery, but many believe it will be Red Hulk, one of the main villains in Captain America: Brave New World. Changing Hulk's skin color and face seems like an easy implementation, but there's a bit of a lore problem.
As it currently stands, Bruce Banner transforms into Hulk in Marvel Rivals. Meanwhile, Harrison Ford's Thaddeus Ross, the President of the United States, is the one who transforms into Red Hulk in the movie. Will they also add a Thaddeus Ross human form to the game? It's definitely possible, though they would all likely have the same moveset as Bruce Banner/Hulk.
The other possibility is Sam Wilson's Captain America. Right now, Steve Rodgers is the Captain America in the game. Adding Sam Wilson as an alternate version probably wouldn't be hard either, although it would be weird not seeing him use his signature wings. Sam Wilson also isn't in the game as Falcon either, so this could be a cool way to introduce the character into the game.
In order to get this mystery skin and digital bundle, you must first and foremost be a Regal Crown Club member. This is a free movie rewards problem in which members earn points for every purchase made. There is an "Unlimited" membership available for $21.49 a month that offers additional benefits, but it doesn't seem like this offer requires you to be a paid member.
Once you sign up for the Regal Crown Club, all you have to do is buy a ticket for Captain America: Brave New World by February 17th. The blockbuster movie is set to open on February 14th, so it won't be long before we find out what this mystery skin will be!
