There have been rumors of a follow-up to Marvel vs. Capcom for the PS3, and now according to a site here: information and a few screenshots, the game is on its way and here’s the scoop being reported from several sources:

The first scan shows nine confirmed characters for the game, 3 of which are new: Dante (Devil May Cry), Chris Redfield (Resident Evil series) and Deadpool. The rest of the nine fighters include Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Wolverine, Felicia and Morrigan. How odd there is no Ryu on the character bios page but however there will be more information on the characters in the game.

For those who are rather keen to know which DMC Dante is from, we can only guess that he has been taken from the third entry as that he is younger self but this is not confirmed by any means. The veteran zombie killer Redfield seems to be from RE5. Interestingly he’s packing a shotgun in the game play which probably does even up the odds. The rest of the screenshots shows Ryu going up against Wolverine and Morrigan fighting Iron Man. As a side note, one of the arenas seems to be on top of the Daily Bugle or at least near the area. This probably has implied that Spiderman will return to the series as well. So far the art direction of the game is indeed mixing a bit of Street Fighter IV with its own brand. As ever though, we can only speculate till we see actual game footage which is most likely to be released at E3 to hype fans up.

Hopefully, the same lives up to the same standards as the rest of the series.
