« Marvel vs Capcom 3's Stages will be More Marvel and Capcom »

MvC2's Ice Flow stage. Looks OK but it's as generic as you can get.Marvel vs Capcom 2 had an absolutely monster roster of 56 Marvel and Capcom characters, but the backgrounds in the game were not tied much to either company's characters or storylines.  They were mostly pretty generic (although very pretty, especially for their time) stages such as the ice-flow seen on the left, a desert vista, and so forth.

Marvel's Chris Barker has confirmed that the stages will be more fitting with the game in Marvel vs Capcom 3.

"I can't name anything specifically," Baker explains, "but I can tell you that it's not just random stuff anymore. It's actually kinda themed stages to go along with Marvel and Capcom locations. [In Marvel vs Capcom 2]…they were kinda cool, but kinda random at the same time. It was like there was a pirate ship or something in one of them. They look cool, but they don't really say Marvel or Capcom. This time they're all going to say Marvel or Capcom in some way. "

The Kotaku article also goes into details that might be of interest to Marvel comics fans, such as which "reality" within the Marvel Universe the game will draw upon, etc.
