Marvel Snap’sJuly 2025 season debuts tomorrow, and it will feature none other than the Fantastic Four. Wait, what?
All four of the heroes from Marvel’s First Family are already in the game, but this season’s tie-in to the upcoming movieThe Fantastic Four: First Stepswill introduce variants of the same heroes, inspired by their movie designs, and will all have new abilities, too.

This season’s battle pass card is “Mister Fantastic: Fantastic 4 First Steps,” and he sports the likeness of actor Pedro Pascal who will play the hero in the movie that comes out on July 25, making this season unique in that it introduces new versions of existing heroes in the game, but is also directly inspired by the movie. This has happened before inMarvel Snapwith seasons being themed around a current MCU offering, but never to this extent.
The new card’s ability, “End of Turn: Give a card in your hand -1 Cost or +2 Power,” is different from the original Mister Fantastic in the game, as are his power and cost levels. Most of the new cards this season all have the “End of Turn” text, marking a new archetype that the game has been building on of late, similar to others like On Reveal, Ongoing, or Activate cards.
The other cards this season, all themed around the movie, include:
Additional cards include Fantasticar, Mole Man, and Mad Thinker, but the season also introduces a new limited-time mode called Grand Arena, which sounds quite similar toHearthstone. In it, you choose a “Champion” (like aHearthstonehero) and a distinct card ability to go along with it.
The hopes are that Grand Arena will be a bit more fair to the consumer than last month’s Sanctum Showdown, whichplayers blastedand began review bombing the game on Steam for.
The new season begins tomorrow, July 8, and the movie launches in theaters on July 25.
