Jane Foster has been revealed as the next playable superhero for Marvel's Avengers. She'll be part of update 2.5, which is planned for launch at an unconfirmed date past May 2022. Of course, the superhero closed yesterday's reveal trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder, so there's some marketing synergy going on here. Natalie Portman plays the role on the big screen, but just like every other superhero in Marvel's Avengers, the actress won't be modelled for the game.
In a development update, developer Crystal Dynamics said Jane Foster's moveset will be similar to Thor's but "she will also have elements that are distinctly Jane". More details will be shared soon. Post-launch, the game has now received Kate Bishop, Hawkeye, Black Panther, and Spider-Man. It was rumoured that She-Hulk would be the next free character, but that doesn't seem to be the case now.
"Our Hero designs are driven first and foremost by their core comic book identities, so, as a fellow wielder of Mjolnir, her suite of abilities will have a lot in common with the Odinson’s," the blog post explains. Are you interested in playing as Jane Foster? Let us know in the comments below.

Wow, this game is so incredible that there’s now two Hawkeyes and two Thors. You might as well just chuck in Spider-Woman and Iron-Lad and call it a day.
I don’t know about you guys but I wouldn’t touch this game again on a bet.
Is it to early to say: 'is this game still going?'
Out of the 5 released DLC character, 2 are essentially clones. And the 6th rumored one is, as well. And they probably wonder why people aren't flocking back.
Where's Doctor Strange? Falcon or Winter Soldier? Ant-Man and Wasp? Wolverine (or Beast)? Vision and Scarlett Witch (or even Quicksilver)?
Their post-launch strategy with this game is arguably more bizarre than the core concept itself.
She’s a superhero now?
Who? (Extra letters to let me post)
@amersga you might be missing the news about the latest Thor movie, including yesterday’s trailer. And I think she’s been in the comics as well
@nessisonett I'd kind of be on board with that actually.
@nessisonett Give me Jessica Drew and young Kang and I’ll happily bash through another thousand or so AIM bots. It’s nice that they keep giving the people who enjoy this game free content to play, and the people who hate it fresh opportunities to let everyone know how terrible it is, again.
Why release new heroes when the endgame is still fundamentally boring and not fun? Who still wants to play this game?
@nessisonett don’t forget that the next rumored character is having 2 Hulks.
Just let it die
I'm not mad about Jane, I'm happy the game is getting any new content but, WHERE THE F*** IS SHE-HULK?
We've known she was in the works for what, 2 years now? Her voice actress even recently, albeit accidentally, all but confirmed Jen is coming. Are they just sitting on her until the show comes out in like Oct/November?
I'm actually playing as Spider Man but why on Earth is he the only character that doesn't have any operations? I'd hardly call training sims operations.
@nessisonett Tbh I wouldn't mind that just as long as they get their own operations because Spider Man got none.
They have a talent for picking characters nobody asked for.
In the 1 1/2 years this game’s been out we’ve gotten post launch
Hawkeye
Hawkeye again
Black Panther which honestly seemed like the highlight of the game
Spider-Man only for the playerbase that has a vastly superior Spider-Man game
Thor again
Gotta wonder how this game came to have 200ish concurrent players on Steam.
Seems like the bare minimum. I guess they don't want to invest too much effort into something that isn't making them much in return.
@RubyCarbuncle Because it doesn't make financial sense to develop playable content that only 1/3rd of the userbase is actually going to engage in. I'm glad they added Spidey, he's a lot of fun, but taking Sony's money and making him PS exclusive hurt the game more than it helped. More so, considering how bad performance was on base PS4s at launch, a lot of player (like myself) decided Spider-Man wasn't worth the sub-par performance and bought it on another platform where it actually ran well.
I hope they release the grey hulk next, and then war machine, and then some sort of man spider.
So lazy. Are there people still on this game?
I've enjoyed my time with the avengers a lot..its one of my pick up and play games..what always makes me laugh is that whenever there is an article there are always a couple of well thought out comments that are valid and the remaing ones are the salty ones that are just so very predictable..you come here to voice the same old whiny comments time and time again and we all understand that you really dont like the game blah,blah,blah but dont you think its time to move on and maybe find something that makes you happy and leave the people that like the game in peace (all 7 of us.)
What happened with She-Hulk. One play through of the campaign was enough for me with the grind *****.
@Northern_munkey *insert grumpy cat "NO" meme. The urge is too strong for some people to resist.
As for the topic at hand... Gotta say. I greatly enjoyed the game, even earned the platinum, but I see no reason to download and install it again. Tried it with Spidey and while I applaud them for making him so fun to play, the lack of story content felt really weird. Like they've given up on the game. So, I don't see how introducing a new character (who apparently plays a lot like Thor) will bring back any players.
when are they gonna make this free ?!? come on now , i wanna play but paying for this is a sucker move
My only complaint is that she most likely won't have a campaign tied to her.
