The list of leaked and datamined characters in Warner Bros’ platform fighter is quite large, with the likes of DC comic characters, more Looney Tunes, and a few movie heroes said to be joining the fight at some point. Datamining revealed references to Lord of the Rings‘ Gandalf and Harry Potter‘s titular hero, but now it seems they’re being held back. They might not make it into the game at all, in fact.
This all comes from a single leaker who goes by “hugeleakeractually,” and while their findings have been reputable, do remember that none of this is officially confirmed by Warner. Given the nature of the setbacks, it likely won’t be. Replying in a large Reddit thread, they said to “blame the Tolkein estate” for pulling Gandalf out. Considering the $2 billion auction for Tolkein’s game and movie rights that happened earlier this year, that seems like a very solid reason.
Of course, some other leaks have been confirmed. Ricky and Morty, from the Adult Swim show of the same name, were said to be coming to the game for some time now. They’ll join the roster during Season 1, bringing with them a stage based on the show’s “Get Schwifty” episode. The first season is expected to start in August, so MultiVersus players will be able to “show us what they got” then.
