Today is the release of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. The video game is the eighth one to feature a crossover between Marvel Comics and Capcom characters. The game follows characters from both franchises as their universes are merged and they must fight against the combined forces of Ultron and Mega Man's Sigma. Capcom had previously lost the rights to produce the games after Marvel Entertainment was purchased by The Walt Disney Company, who wanted to produce their own games for Marvel, but a deal was eventually made to make more. The game caused controversy for its omission of X-Men and Fantastic Four characters, especially since it was the X-Men who started the franchise, furthering speculation of the ongoing battle between Marvel Studios and 20th Century Fox over the film rights.

The game features the talents of Brian Bloom as Captain America, Chris Cox as Hawkeye, Robbie Daymond as Spider-Man, Grey Griffin as Captain Marvel, Trevor Devall as Rocket Raccoon, Benjamin Diskin as Nova, Kyle Herbert as Street Fighter hero Ryu, David Kaye as Darkstalkers villain Jedah Dohma, Phil LaMarr as Dormammu, Eric Loomis as Iron Man, Vanessa Marshall as Gamora, James C. Mathis III as Black Panther, Liam O'Brien as Doctor Strange, Kevin Michael Richardson as Groot, Roger Craig Smith as Resident Evil hero Chris Redfield, Fred Tatasciore as Hulk and Ghost Rider, Travis Willingham as Thor, and Wally Wingert as MODOK.
