Capcom producer Shuhei Matsumoto hints at a possible revival of beloved original characters from Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Speaking at EVO 2024, Matsumoto stated that the return of Amingo, Ruby Heart, and SonSon in a future game is "always a possibility." This renewed interest stems from the upcoming release of the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, a remastered collection of classic titles including Marvel vs. Capcom 2. The collection, Matsumoto believes, will reintroduce these characters to a wider audience, potentially sparking demand for their inclusion in future installments.

Matsumoto suggested that the success of the collection could lead to appearances beyond the Versus series, perhaps even in Street Fighter 6 or other Capcom fighting games. He emphasized that fan interest is key, highlighting the opportunity to expand Capcom's creative pool and content library.

The Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection itself is the result of years of planning and collaboration with Marvel. Matsumoto revealed that the team had sought to re-release these classic titles for a considerable time, finally achieving their goal through persistent negotiations. Beyond this collection, Capcom aims to revitalize other legacy fighting games, bringing them to modern platforms with updated features like rollback netcode. However, Matsumoto acknowledged the logistical challenges and necessary collaborations required to make this happen, emphasizing a gradual, step-by-step approach. The re-release of these classic titles, he concluded, is intended to invigorate the community and gauge interest for future projects. The future of these iconic characters, therefore, rests in the hands of the fans.
