This is quite possible, considering how many of the circles on that selection screen are empty... But still, I'd be happy with 120. That's a lot.

Yeah, that is a lot compared to the 60 DC characters in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes with DLC (in fact doubled). And a lot of slots were wasted on Batman characters from the 2008 LEGO Batman game. At least LEGO Marvel isn't so focused on one hero. Where in LEGO Batman 2 had Batman playable in every level, The two playable demo levels at E3 had no characters in common. Sand Central Station had Iron Man, Hulk, and Spider-Man. Bifrosty Reception (which has a similar title to An Icy Reception from LEGO Batman 1. Are they puns on a certain phrase?) has Thor, Captain America, Wolverine, and Human Torch. That is a major improvement. But looking at the character select, where are the custom characters that has been in the LEGO series since LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy? The levels in the E3 demo were in free-play, allowing for a greater variety of characters to be shown. The developers have also confirmed custom characters will be in the game.
