The most recent leak from EA gave Black Panther fans a chance to rejoice! With reliable sources hinting at EA’s venture with its Kevin Stephens-led studio, one of Marvel’s iconic superhero characters may soon get an exclusive video game experience. However, after a new development surfaced, Black Panther doesn’t seem to be the only Marvel character EA is eyeing at the moment.

The Black Panther game, which industry insider Jeff Grubb leaked last month, is apparently going to be a single-player open world experience. As further speculations suggest, a player will go through all the challenges to become Black Panther, after the death of his predecessor. Marvel fans now have a lot of expectations from EA.

As new reports suggest, EA is probably working on a second Marvel project, alongside the Black Panther game. In fact, another reliable industry insider, Tom Henderson, gave out the possible protagonist! But, it is just a rumor, as of now. Hence, fans may not want to take it seriously, just yet, as Henderson himself suggested.

EA’s second Marvel project reportedly addresses Tony Stark!

He hinted at Tony Stark aka Iron Man being the hero of EA’s second Marvel project. The revelation, of course, thrilled a lot of fans.

He added that he’ll come up with a detailed report once he receives more concrete information. “Put this heavily under the “rumor” category for now and if I hear/see more information that’s concrete I’ll report on it properly. Just thought it was worth mentioning,” his tweet read.
