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 shown off at E3 were also in free-play mode, meaning they probably showed off more characters than would normally be in the level. And the developers have confirmed that custom characters will be in the game. They said the custom characters are in the game, but where are they in the character select screen? If the character select screen was only for E3, why would there be silhouettes for other characters besides the characters available in the demo? That has to be the character select screen for the final game (except the blank slots might be filled in). Otherwise, the silhouettes would be pointless.
