In the announcement video, NetEase Games has subtly hinted at the existence of Professor X. He is seen as a statue in the Hellfire Gala: Krakoa map alongside the statues of other existing heroes like Magneto and Emma Frost. The Krakoa island is a haven for mutants, and it makes sense for the founding and renowned member of the mutant class to be immortalized through these statues around the map. This Professor X statue hints towards a possible future release of the character.

Furthermore, X0XLEAK has found evidence in the game files, indicating that Professor X will be a new playable hero in the Support class. His ability names were also found in the game files, which implies that they are a work-in-progress. While the exact details of these abilities are currently unknown, here are all the leaked ability names of Professor X in Marvel Rivals;

• X-Men Collection
  
• Potential Stimulation
  
• Mind Projection
  
• MaxEXP
  
• Opening a book seems to be part of the kit

According to X0XLEAK, NetEase Games might have accidentally included information on Daredevil in the recent Marvel Rivals update files. He was able to translate the information from Chinese, revealing Daredevil’s passive ability called Spherical Clipping. He might be a duelist in the game, and as of writing, it is unknown what his passive and other abilities might do. For now, one thing is for certain: Daredevil is being worked upon by NetEase Games for a possible future release.
