There’s not much point in trying to get an invite now, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s another beta test in the future, so keep an eye out for any news. In the meantime, the huge roster ofMarvel comicscharacters, including the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men, and more are still available to play for a little longer.
