It has been rumored for a while that an expansion version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 would be announced soon, and now, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has been officially confirmed. The new game has been announced, and with 4 new characters to boot.

Returning to the Marvel vs. Capcom universe is Strider Hiryu, along with 3 new characters brand new to the series. These 3 new characters include Hawkeye, Ghost Rider and Firebrand. That's two characters from Marvel and two from Capcom.
