The Marvel Universe Is Coming to MAGIC: THE GATHERING
The Marvel Universe is coming to the Magic: The Gathering multiverse. Hasbro recently announced that it expanded its partnership with Marvel Entertainment to allow Marvel characters and concepts to be used in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
This isn’t the first time that other intellectual properties have crossed over with Magic: The Gathering. Some of the others include The Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, and Fallout. I never really imagined Marvel getting in on the Magic: The Gathering party, but here we are.
The first Magic: The Gathering release that will include Marvel will be released in 2025 and its said to be a "tentpole Magic set." I imagine that means fans can expect a full-on Marvel Magic: The Gathering set comparable to The Lord of the Rings: Tales from Middle-earth.
Cynthia Williams, President of Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro Digital Gaming in a press release: "We are extremely proud to collaborate with Marvel to bring its iconic characters to fans around the world in new ways. These tentpole sets will build on the tradition of incorporating beloved fan-favorite characters and elements from world-class brands into Magic: The Gathering."
Dan Buckley, President of Marvel Comics and Franchise said: "Trading cards have always been a part of Marvel's DNA, so this collaboration takes that experience to a whole new level. With the depth that our storytelling and characters bring to the table, we can't wait for fans to see how the Marvel Universe translates seamlessly into gameplay within these Magic: The Gathering products and sets for years to come."
