History Trivia / LEGOMarvelSuperHeroes2

* ExiledFromContinuity: With the exception of Kang the Conqueror, no characters from ''Fantastic Four'' or ''X-Men'' physically show up in the game (though the former are referenced in some Character Card bios, such as Crystal of the Inhumans). What makes this particularly jarring is the fact that many of those characters played significant roles in [[VideoGame/LegoMarvelSuperheroes the previous game]]. Then Disney offered to buy out most of Fox's entertainment assets, including the aforementioned franchises, a month after the game released. Despite the deal eventually being finalized less than two years after the game's released, no DLC featuring said characters was released.

* TheOtherDarrin: EnforcedTrope. Almost all of the cast of the game are played by different actors, due to the then-ongoing voice actors strike - the solution was to go across UsefulNotes/ThePond and employ British actors. The late Creator/StanLee was the only person to return, since while he has done voice work in several video games, he was not a union actor.

* RoleReprise: Creator/SachaDhawan reprises his role as Davos/Steel Serpent from ''Series/IronFist2017''. Likewise, Tom Clarke Hill reprises Blade from the Blade II video game.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Quite a few voice actors (including Creator/SkyeBennett (Pyra and Mythra), David Menkin (Malos), John Schwab (Jin), Teresa Gallagher (Azami), etc.) who worked on ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' also worked on this game.

* WriterRevolt: ''Fantastic Four'' and ''X-Men'' characters failed to show up (aside from Kang) for what were very likely corporate reasons pertaining to Fox owning the movie rights to the characters at the time of the game's development and release. While the game doesn't get particularly aggressive toward the decision to omit ''X-Men'' and ''Fantastic Four'' characters just because Disney didn't own their movie rights at the time, the game still tries to [[WritingAroundTrademarks vaguely allude]] to the absent characters, and takes the time to [[BitingTheHandHumor make fun of]] how baffling the whole ordeal is with an Asgardian cooking show being unable to show merchandise due to convoluted copyright laws. The X-Men trouble can also be explained by Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter's at the time desire to get rid of the X-Men and replace them with ''ComicBook/TheInhumans''.

While the game [[DownplayedTrope doesn't get particularly aggressive]] about showing contempt toward the decision to omit ''X-Men'' and ''Fantastic Four'' characters just because Disney didn't own their movie rights at the time, there's still an obvious attempt to at least offhandedly bring up the characters who showed up last game [[WritingAroundTrademarks while not directly referring to them]], and takes the time to [[TakeThat lightheartedly mock]] how baffling the whole ordeal is with an Asgardian cooking show being unable to show merchandise due to it being owned by another company.

* ExiledFromContinuity: With the exception of Kang the Conqueror, ''Fantastic Four'', as well as ''X-Men'' characters, aren't showing up in the game.
