With Marvel’s lineup ever-growing, many fans are always trying to predict which heroes, villains and characters will be making their way into the Marvel Universe. Well, thanks to Marvel joining forces with Japan’s Tsuburaya Productions, the next addition will be the beloved Ultraman.
Specifically, the news was announced at the Tokyo Comic-Con with Marvel saying that the new collaboration will drop sometime in 2020. Interestingly, the collaborative venture will involve all-new stories that the duo will work on developing via graphic novels and comic books.

The announcement doesn’t state that he is coming to the MCU. It’s for published comics and the like. But it’s one step closer to a potential MCU film.
You are bloody right Rick, the article has been amended!
Hey I’m a marvel head from the 1970’s and a ultraman fan as well. I think its great. I do have a question though, if ultraman is coming to marvel does this mean we get our own ultraman design. Ultraman has different forms in different countries and i was wondering can we get a fresh brand new trainee that we can watch his growth and then his assignment on earth in marvel. Being secretive at first then growing into his role, an independent, kind of the way Rom developed. Anyway i love this, I just wish it would have happened during the marvel run of Monsters Unleashed
