Capcom's producer Shuhei Matsumoto hinted at the potential return of original characters from Marvel vs Capcom 2 in future titles during a recent event. The Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection is generating excitement among fans, offering a chance for new players to experience classic characters like Ruby Rose, SonSon, and Amingo. While Matsumoto expressed that there's "always a possibility" for these characters to return, he emphasized that fan interest and support are crucial for this to happen. The re-release of beloved games serves to familiarize a new audience with these characters, which could open doors for inclusion in future projects like Street Fighter 6. However, the chances of seeing Amingo or Ruby Rose soon remain uncertain without substantial fan engagement.
