There have been rumours circulating since the beginning of May that NetherRealm Studios might be working on a new Marvel-themed fighting game.
Now, to add fuel to the fire, Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon has followed up on his existing tweet with another tweet featuring a YouTube skit. In it is Mortal Kombat's Jax facing-off against Marvel's Spider-Man, and Boon notes how it will be used as "inspiration" for the upcoming "Marvel V Mortal Kombat" game...
Of course, this tweet hasn't gone unnoticed by the Mortal Kombat and Marvel fanbase. Some seem to think he has just straight-up confirmed something, while others believe it's actually quite the opposite, and could perhaps narrow down what's really been going on behind the scenes.
Boon could also just be having some fun on social media for all we know. What do you think though - would you like to see a Marvel-themed fighting game made by NetherRealm studios? Could you see any particular crossover happening?

Well, the rumour I've seen floating about is they are working on an Avengers vs. Xmen game (won't actually be called that though) that will be loosely based on the 2012 event comic.
Apparently they can't use some characters due to licensing issues with Marvel vs Capcom so the focus will be on more recent characters like Ms. Marvel and Shang-Chi.
Unless the ultimate goal is injustice vs marvel, I don't really see the point. It's going to end up feeling a lot like injustice but with brighter colours.
It would be wild if they announced mortal kombat vs marvel and capcom announced DC Vs Capcom
It’s Ed! Obviously he heard that silly baseless rumor and he is trolling.
@CrazyJF Then you haven't seen the new M.O.D.O.K. show on Hulu. Watch that and then tell me if you think Disney would allow something Adult...
For those of you who may be unaware, NetherRealm games (MK and Injustice) are extremely good sellers. NRS fighting game sales dwarf Capcom developed fighters by a wide margin. If the rumor is real I think we can assume a few things; this is at least partly due to MvCi's tremendous failure, it won't by hyperviolent like MK (obv), and it will have a heavy focus on single-player content.
If that rumor is true, guess which beloved Marvel character will not be in the Xbox version...
Wasn't there a rumor earlier this year about Netherhealm making a Killer Instinct vs. Mortal Kombat game?
@Magabro
They're a talented studio so the rumor mill has them working on a ton of random titles since they haven't announced what's next yet.
