A set of seven Marvel mobile games are incorporating elements from 2018's blockbuster Black Panther and upcoming April 27 release Avengers: Infinity War.

Characters and content from the Black Panther, Spider-Man and Avengers: Infinity War movies are being distributed to seven Marvel mobile games over the coming week.

Marvel Contest Of Champions welcomes a challenge involving the lead actors from Black Panther and Spider-Man, Chadwick Boseman and Tom Holland, starting April 19.

Likewise, Marvel Puzzle Quest is starting up its own in-game event on the 19th.

Then, in the days following the Avengers: Infinity War world premiere on the 23rd and its general release in US theatres, the septet of Marvel gaming apps are rolling out related material, according to information given to The Hollywood Reporter.

Contest Of Champions rolls out four new events – a story-based quest, daily quest, solo challenge and co-op quest – on the 25th, and a Corvus Glaive character on the 26th, who joins the Proxima Midnight character already released; Infinity War versions of Captain America and Iron Man join in May.

Puzzle Quest introduces the Children of Thanos and Infinity Stones as supports. Captain America joins on April 19 with Black Widow, Okoye and the Iron Spider iteration of Spider-Man emerging on May 3, 17 and 31 respectively.
