Marvel Characters Coming To Disney Infinity

Via Joystiq. Well we knew this was coming. In a new trailer released today, Marvel characters are finally teased as coming soon to Disney Infinity, much to the dismay of cash-strapped parents everywhere.

The trailer mentions Disney Infinity Version 2.0, which could either be an update or a sequel. Disney Infinity has yet to release on next-gen platforms, and presumably the next iteration of the series will release on both PS4 & Xbox One along with this new influx of Marvel characters. The Avengers are of course a sure thing, and it’s fairly good odds that we’ll see a Guardians of The Galaxy set since that movie is coming out this year. I’m sure we’ll see Spider-Man and the X-Men at some point. But since they are not owned lock, stock and barrel by Disney, they might take their sweet time showing up. I do wonder if characters from Agents of SHIELD will show up or characters like Luke Cage and Daredevil who have shows meant for a more mature audience being developed for them will show up. Of course you could certainly include them without any reference to the shows that they are in.

I’m a fully grown adult who really enjoys the Skylanders series, but I was honestly able to hold out on Disney Infinity because the characters released so far haven’t really held much appeal to me personally. Getting cool-looking versions of some great Marvel characters will weaken my resolve quite a bit though. Now of course the question is, when will we start seeing some characters from the Star Wars Universe show up in Disney Infinity? Check out the teaser:
