No X-men, as predicted.
Sucks but whatever...
I want Ghost Rider and Quake.
Can this please use another popular Street Fighter female character? I'm tired of Chun-Li always getting love. How about Sakura, C.Viper, Cammy or even Juri?
But why? He's never in the comics, and just because a character looks mildly fancier than other because ohhhhhhh look he's a squid guy doesn't mean you should include him. Capcom needs to start recognising that we're not in the 90's anymore. If they want a Doctor Strange villain, stick with Dormannnu.

All this story mode talk scares me.
Then Marvel should use him more in the comics then, because it's the problem, not even long term fans of Marvel knew who the hell he was until Capcom chucks him in. I just remember back in 2011 boggling that Capcom though HE was the one character people wanted from Marvel as the DLC guy, rather than... I dunno, a thousand more logical additions at the time?
Please for all that is holy Capcom, DON'T MAKE SHUMA THE DLC EXCLUSIVE CHARACTER AGAIN! GIVE US SOMEONE WE ACTUALLY KNOW!
From what I understand, part of why Shuma rarely appears in the comics is because the nature of him makes using him ridiculously delicate such that to use him too much would cause a lot of "Villain Decay" for someone whose mere existence can be universally damaging.
And there's a chance that Shuma could appear in the Doctor Strange sequels. So if Capcom wants him back, this time they probably won't even have to beg Marvel for him.
I'd love to see Juri in this game, too, Sardorim. Could have some spider-on-spider action between her and Spider-Man, either vs. or on the same team. However, C. Viper did appear in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Sakura was an assist character (I think) in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and Cammy was in X-Men vs. Street Fighter, which is part of the MVC franchise, so it might be a tad inaccurate to say that Chun-Li is the only Street Fighter lady getting any love from Capcom in its crossovers with Marvel.
As for some people who question the necessity of Marvel teaming with Capcom for fighting games at all, there are those of us who like both Marvel characters and Capcom characters. Hell, the fun part of the previous Marvel vs. Capcom installments for me was teaming up my favorite superhero (Spider-Man) with my best friend's (and later my) favorite Darkstalkers character (Morrigan Aensland). So yes, I am definitely anticipating being able to do that again in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.
The spider is always on the hunt.
^Sakura was actually playable in MVC2 as well as in MSHvsSF.
In my case it's not so much that I dislike the concept of Marvel characters teaming up with Capcom characters. I like crossovers as much as anyone when I know enough about both parties. Its more the fact that its all we have to go on these days if we want a decent Marvel fighting game on consoles. We had Mortal Kombat/DC Universe as a game, but that didn't stop Netherealm from making two more games with just DC characters (minus the odd MK guest) with Injustice. So hopefully Capcom and Marvel if they continue such a partnership will strongly consider doing a Marvel only fighting game in the near future.
