That's definitely Vanessa Marshall reprising Gamora although Cap sounds like Brian Bloom.

Wasp, Ms Marvel, and Hawkeye join the fight! It also appears to me that Crystal and Lockjaw might be one character like Rocket and Groot.

I had no idea Marvel were such big fans of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, lol.

So this is sounding more and more awesome the more details that are revealed. At this point I just hope there's a lot of content and depth to make the game as replayable as possible. It'll be fun to just experiment with teams and mixing up heroes to see how they feel and play.

This game looks so good and it may have the best starting roster out of any of the past games. Too bad I dont own a SWITCH but users of that are in for a treat

The gameplay from Treehouse just makes me more excited about day one buying this honestly.

I like how they include the New Avengers and Original Avengers (featuring Wasp and not Cap) separate from a general Avengers team bonus.

I had time so I typed all the team bonuses out for the curious:

New Avengers: Spider-Man (Peter), Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Doctor Strange
Guardians of the Galaxy: Captain Marvel, Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket & Groot
Femme Fatales: Black Widow, Gamora, Elektra, Psylocke, Elsa Bloodstone
Agents of Shield: Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Elektra, Wolverine
X-Men: Storm, Deadpool, Wolverine, Psylocke, Nightcrawler, Magneto
Villains: Deadpool, Venom, Magneto
Defenders: Hulk, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Elektra, Doctor Strange
Anti-Heroes: Deadpool, Venom, Elektra, Wolverine, Magneto, Elsa Bloodstone, Ghost Rider
Original Avengers: Iron Man, Wasp, Hulk, Thor
Midnight Sons: Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Elsa Bloodstone, Ghost Rider
Web Warriors: Black Widow, Spider-Man (Peter), Spider-Man (Miles), Spider-Gwen, Venom
The Crew: Falcon, Black Panther, Storm, Luke Cage
Marvel Royalty: Black Panther, Storm, Thor, Star-Lord, Rocket & Groot, Crystal
Gods & Demons: Storm, Thor, Ghost Rider
Generations: Captain America, Falcon, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man (Peter), Spider-Man (Miles)
Heavy Hitters: Hulk, Thor, Drax, Venom, Luke Cage, Ms. Marvel
Agile Fighters: Hawkeye, Black Widow, Black Panther, Gamora, Peter, Miles, Gwen, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Elektra, Nightcrawler (Jesus Christ that's a big group)
Ultimate Alliance 3: All the newcomers via this entry which are Wasp, Falcon, the Guardians, Gwen, Miles, Crystal, Scarlet Witch, and Elsa Bloodstone.
Avengers: Cap, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Wasp, Black Widow, Falcon, Black Panther, Hulk, Thor, Captain Marvel, Crystal, Scarlet Witch
X-Force: Storm, Deadpool, Wolverine, Psylocke, Nightcrawler

^ These are only the ones we can see from the stream. There's a scroll bar that shows there's clearly a good amount left unshown such as Forces of Nature, Wisecracking Warriors, and Women of Marvel. You can hit a button on the team select screen to see the different bonuses your team is getting that stack as well as quickly reference what bonuses a character can get at all. Deadpool and Magneto being on the same team triggers the first bonus for X-Men, Villains, and Anti-Heroes.

Overall I'm really glad to see that this game has a lot of RPG elements! That was something sorely missing from the Ultimate Alliance franchise that I always felt X-Men Legends did much better and missed not having it. I do wish they had more depth with the powers the way prior Legends/Alliance games have had, but it's still looking fun.

This list gave me some relief, though the official website is still all weird listing some characters as totally wrong teams/factions.
