Marvel Rivals adds The Hood, voiced by WWE star Damian Priest

NetEase’s free‑to‑play hero shooter Marvel Rivals launched Season 9 on 10 July 2026, introducing two new playable heroes. The Hood, a Marvel villain, joins the roster in early August 2026 and will be voiced by WWE Tag Team Champion Damian Priest, marking his first major voice‑acting role. Priest confirmed the collaboration on social media, confirming his voice appears in the game’s trailer.

The same season also added Jubilee, the X‑Men mutant, as a Strategist character. Her kit includes firework‑based attacks that heal allies and damage enemies, with abilities such as Blooming Ball, Dazzling Detonation, and Fireworks Finale. Guides highlight her role, damage and healing numbers, and synergistic combos with other heroes like The Blade and The Hood.
