Non-gameplay trailers are pointless.
Remember when Marvel made good games? Specifically Non Spidey Console games
How many flippin’ versions of Super Hero Squad do you honestly need?
So it’s a cross between Marvel vs. Capcom and Super Hero Squad, then. :p
But in all seriousness, this looks like it will be an enjoyable all-ages mobile game. However, notice the distinct lack of any X-Men and Fantastic Four characters, i.e the ones Fox still holds the film rights, too? Hmm…
