According to sources close to Polygon, there will indeed be Marvel vs. Capcom 4 and it will be coming in 2017 to consoles. The catch here is that it will supposedly feature less of an emphasis on the X-Men and more of a focus on the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).Fans of the series should expect Marvel vs. Capcom 4's roster of Marvel characters to draw strongly from the cinematic universe that Marvel Studios has popularized — and has full control over — during the past decade. That means fighting game fans will more likely see characters plucked from The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy films, and not from properties like the X-Men. Expect to see superheroes like Ant-Man and Groot make appearances, with characters of mutant origin — think Wolverine and Magneto — sitting out this entry.
A lack of X-Men characters in the next Marvel vs. Capcom would be a major departure for the franchise, which has roots that extend back to Capcom’s 1994 fighting game, X-Men: Children of the Atom.

The official announcement will supposedly come during the PlayStation Experience event taking place later this week. This is also where the Capcom Cup 2016 will hold its Street Fighter V tournament.
