Marvel Rivals continues to fascinate players with its magnificent collection of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)-inspired skins, generating enthusiasm throughout the community. These cosmetic sets based on iconic MCU films have become a significant appeal, combining cinematic nostalgia with the game’s vivid multiverse style.
The most recent cosmetic, Doctor Strange’s Multiverse of Madness skin, was released on April 17, 2025, and features his scary zombie form from the hit film. The skin’s deadly appearance, which included a decaying visage, ragged crimson robe, and phantom hands, first piqued fans’ interest.
Other MCU skins, such as Spider-Man’s No Way Home and Scarlet Witch’s Multiverse of Madness versions, have sparked interest, with fans demanding more crossovers. The community is currently buzzing with excitement over an upcoming Winter Soldier skin based on the Thunderbolts film, which will be released in theaters this week. Here’s how to get the skin in Rivals.
Marvel Rivals Winter Soldier Thunderbolts bundle release date, price and items
The Winter Soldier Thunderbolts bundle for Marvel Rivals, inspired by the upcoming Thunderbolts film, will be available on May 2, 2025, at 2:00 AM UTC. This MCU-inspired cosmetic pack, priced at 1600 Units (around $16 USD), is available in the in-game store’s Costumes page. You can also choose to purchase the costume separately at 1400 Units.
The bundle includes:
- Winter Soldier Skin: A Thunderbolts-themed design with a blue jumpsuit, black tactical gear, combat boots, and an unmasked face, capturing Bucky’s rugged MCU look.
- MVP Animation: Bucky rides a motorcycle, removes sunglasses, with a car exploding behind him for a cinematic post-match flex.
- Emote: A unique gesture for in-game taunts and expressions.
- Nameplate: A Thunderbolts-style profile card for player customization.
- Spray: A graffiti tag featuring Bucky’s iconic star emblem.
The bundle, which was unveiled in a promotional teaser by Sebastian Stan, has sparked enthusiasm, with fans complimenting its gritty, film-accurate design. Despite Bucky’s Season 2 performance decline, which included a 43.6% win rate in Diamond+ ranks owing to nerfed bionic arm damage, the Thunderbolts package is positioned to boost his pick rate by capitalizing on the film’s buzz.
