Yeah he has to be in it. They probably haven't announced him yet because we all expect him to be there, or because of the activision game, or simply they haven't gotten to him yet. Also they have been releasing updates in pairs too. They also seem to matching up people according to themes. They probably have someone he is paired up with but they just don't want to say who that is yet. For example that have Logan and Ryu who are both warriors, Chris and Hulk works because its Hulk vs the military type and Chris vs the huge ass monster, Deadpool and Dante are both smart asses, Thor and Ama are both gods, Chun-li, Dr. Doom, Super Skrull, and Trish I am having trouble connecting. I guess Chun-Li and Trish are the Capcom beauties, and Doom and Skrull are the Marvel's hideous villains. I never really read much Dr. Strange to know about much about Domrammu (other then what happened with the Hood) and never had a chance to play the Viewtiful Joe games to know much about Joe so not sure how they connect. Then again in the offical trailer Dormammu showed up alone. Anyway back to my main point which is basically a game that has the best of two companies going at it would have to have Spider-man on Marvel's side like Capcom would have to have Ryu on their side.
