Over on Twitter, the officialMarvel’s Avengersaccount shared a look at Thor as he appears inEndgame,donning the iconic suit that the hero wears as he faces off against Thanos.

It isn’t a one-to-one recreation ofThor fromEndgame,however. The character’s face model hasn’t been updated to resemble Chris Hemsworth, who portrays Thor in the films. Rather, his face shares a similar structure to the version of Thor found in the baseMarvel’s Avengers,just with shorter hair and a different style of beard. It’s not necessarily a bad look for the character, though it isn’t quite as MCU-inspired of a face as some fans might be expecting.
According to the announcement,Marvel’s Avengersplayers can pick the skin up in the Marketplace starting tomorrow, July 29. Of course, fans are going to have to buy the skins, just like many of the other premium appearances featured in the game. Fans have called for a better suite of skins to be included in the game through earnable methods, rather than having to shell out for them, though it’s not clear if there will be expanded options for that further down the line.
So far, the response to the skin’s appearance has been mostly positive. One of the only consistent criticisms in the replies regardsMjolnir, Thor’s iconic hammer. Some fans have expressed interest in Stormbreaker, the axe Thor uses inEndgame, to make an appearance in the game alongside the MCU skin. That’s not the case right now, but it could change in the future.
The steady churn out of new content is promising forMarvel’s Avenger’sfuture. While it’s been sharply criticized for its post-launch content structure and certain gameplay elements, other live service titles have proven that it’s possible for a turnaround, and new content is the right track.
