Exciting news for fans of Marvel Snap! The July 2025 season kicks off tomorrow, featuring Marvel’s iconic First Family, the Fantastic Four. This season isn’t just another update; it connects directly to the upcoming film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which amplifies the thrill for fans.
This new season promises fresh content, as all four members of the Fantastic Four are already part of the game. However, we’re in for a treat with new variants inspired by their cinematic designs, complete with unique abilities!
New Characters and Abilities
The highlight of the season is the battle pass card, “Mister Fantastic: Fantastic 4 First Steps.” Interestingly, he resembles Pedro Pascal, the actor portraying Mister Fantastic in the film releasing on July 25. This unique connection adds meaning to the new season, marking a significant collaboration between the game and the movie industry.
The new Mister Fantastic card comes with a special ability: “End of Turn: Give a card in your hand -1 Cost or +2 Power.” This contrasts with the original card’s abilities, indicating a shift towards creating distinct gameplay experiences. Most other new cards in this season also embody the “End of Turn” mechanic, signaling an evolving strategy within the game.
Exciting New Cards This Season
Alongside Mister Fantastic, you’ll find several other new cards inspired by the film:
- H.E.R.B.I.E.
- Two cost, three power.
- “Each turn this is in play, swap to a new Activate ability until one is used.”
- Human Torch: Fantastic 4 First Steps
- Three cost, two power.
- “End of Turn: +1 Power. Once per game, if your side here is full, double this card’s Power instead.”
- The Thing: Fantastic 4 First Steps
- Five cost, six power.
- “End of Turn: +2 Power. Once per game, if your side here is full, destroy an enemy card here with less Power.”
- Invisible Woman: Fantastic 4 First Steps
- Three cost, five power.
- “Activate: This turn, your End of Turn abilities happen twice.”
Expect more surprises with cards like Fantasticar, Mole Man, and Mad Thinker. Plus, a new limited-time mode called Grand Arena is making its debut, reminiscent of Hearthstone. Here, you can pick a “Champion” along with a distinct card ability for a fresh gaming experience.
Addressing Player Concerns
Hopes are high for Grand Arena, as it aims to be more consumer-friendly compared to last month’s Sanctum Showdown, which received backlash from players leading to negative reviews on Steam.

Mark your calendars—the new season launches on July 8, just a few days before the much-anticipated movie hit theaters on July 25. Now is the perfect time to dive back into the game and explore these exciting updates!
