The Gathering With A Huge Announcement

The trailer features a young kid reading comics and playing with toy versions of Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, and Captain America’s shield. His mom soon discovers a Magic card as they are watching a movie, but the commercial doesn’t show any of the actual cards fans can expect to see in the upcoming «Magic: The Gathering» and Marvel collaboration. The product is years away from being released. Still, the news is exciting for Marvel and Magic fans alike, as the potential to take players across the Marvel Multiverse in the card game opens up plenty of new storytelling and gameplay avenues. As a collectible, bringing the two IPs together is a no-brainer.

Dan Buckley, President of Marvel Comics and Franchise, explained in a press release working with the team behind «Magic: The Gathering» elevates their card brand further. «Trading cards have always been a part of Marvel’s DNA, so this collaboration takes that experience to a whole new level,» Buckley said. «With the depth that our storytelling and characters bring to the table, we can’t wait for fans to see how the Marvel Universe translates seamlessly into gameplay within these Magic: The Gathering products and sets for years to come.»

The first «Magic: The Gathering» cards based on Marvel characters and stories will be released globally in 2025 as more sets are planned for the future.
