Don't let the title for this article mislead you, folks.  The actual co-op in Marvel Ultimate Alliance was great, and that seems to be unchanged.  There were some problems, though, with adding players, changing characters, etc.  The interface was a bit tedious when these tasks needed to be done.  According to Aeropause Games, after a sneak peek at M:UA2, this stuff is much better in the sequel.

Now for those that complained at great length about the co-op play in the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance, you voices have been heard.  Co-op has been completely revamped from top to bottom and it will be easier to join games, and choose characters.  This is a big plus in my book as co-op was such a chore in the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance.  I was never able to select characters properly when less than four players were playing in co-op, and it never felt 100% stable.

The preview is definitely worth a read, revealing some really interesting Fusion combos.  Thor summoning a whirlwind, which the Human Torch fills with flames is perhaps the coolest.  But Storm using Captain America's shield to fry a whole screen of enemies doesn't seem too shabby either.  We're really looking forward to getting our hands on this game, for sure!

The things I'm hoping for are drop-in / drop-out for online games and the ability to bring your own character to a multiplayer game (not using the host's characters).

Drop in/drop out and bringing your own character in should become standard in co-op imo. I loved the first game as did my GF. A game that anyone can play.

Sounds great. Im super excited!

It would be sweet to be able to bring over your own characters.

This game keeps moving up on my want list.

The closer this game gets the more I realize that I need to finish the first game with my chitlins.
