Marvel’s First ‘Venom’ Trailer Released and Leaves Fans Wanting More

The first teaser trailer has been released by Sony Pictures for Marvel’s upcoming superhero spinoff series Venom. The trailer doesn’t actually show Venom which left many fans wanting to see more.

Marvel’s new superhero spinoff series stars Tom Hardy who plays a reporter named Eddie Brock as well as Venom, an “alien symbiote” stuck in a human body. Brock’s body is possessed by the symbiote which gives him Spider-Man-like powers.

The first trailer doesn’t give much in the way of plot details and offers only vague hints about the anti-hero’s origin story. Hardy spends most of the For most of the trailer Hardy is in a hospital lying on his back and we see some flashbacks that suggest he was an accident following a high-speed motorcycle chase.

“Everyone’s got their thing,” a voiceover says. “Maybe it’s a break-up, a death, an accident. Whatever it is, you used to be one thing, now you’re something else. We all have our own problems, our own issues, our own demons.”

Venom marks the very beginning of “Sony’s Marvel Universe,” and they have insisted that film will take place in the same setting as 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, which takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then again, Marvel has insisted that Venom is not a part of the MCU. Confusing, but it leaves the door open for Marvel to include Venom at some point if it suits them.

Venom is set for wide release on October 5, 2018.

Marvel Super Heroes Coming to Disneyland Paris Summer 2018

New details have been released about a special new event coming to Disneyland Paris where you can marvel over the spectacular superheroes sights. Marvel Super Heroes are coming to Disneyland Paris in the summer 2018 from June 10 to September 30.

Just a few weeks after the cinema release of the highly anticipated AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, the Marvel Super Heroes will be creating even more buzz by assembling at Disneyland Paris for the very first time! Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Star-Lord, Gamora and Spider-Man will all be at Walt Disney Studios Park for a unique season of events, boasting shows and interactive experiences of truly epic proportions. And you’ll have the chance to join them and be part of the adventure.

The Marvel universe is coming to life at Walt Disney Studios Park for more than three months. Imagine if you had the power to dive right into your favourite films and comics… Well, this summer, you can! You’ll have the chance to have a dance-off with the Guardians of the Galaxy, watch the ruthless Loki try to seize power, meet Captain America and be awed by an amazing show that features Thor, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch and many more!

Here whats in store for those who chose to embark on this epic adventure:

Marvel: Super Heroes United

Marvel: Super Heroes United is a truly immense show at the Studio Theater in the heart of Walt Disney Studios Park. The programme for this superproduction includes live-action on-stage antics with Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Doctor Strange, Black Panther and Spider-Man – to name just a few! It also features cutting-edge special effects that will bring the Incredible Hulk and the fearsome Thanos to life before your very eyes – a first for Disneyland Paris. You’ll also be treated to spectacular projections and a whole host of other big surprises. One thing’s for certain – you’ll experience an epic adventure like no other.

Here’s the story: “Thanos has found a way of manipulating the Avengers and their allies in order to destroy them. Will the heroes manage to escape his clutches? You’ll find out in this show that’s packed full of breath-taking twists and turns”.

Marvel: Super Heroes United brings iconic figures from the Marvel universe to the stage with a focus on three themes: origins, duality and unity. This 20-minute show will be performed several times a day at Walt Disney Studios Park.

Stark Expo presents: Energy for Tomorrow!

Tony Stark invites you to the open-air Production Courtyard to present the latest version of his revolutionary invention – an ‘Arc Reactor’ that generates green energy. But look out… It’s exactly the kind of event that a certain Loki loves to interrupt. Thor’s fearsome half-brother will try to use it as an opportunity for a power grab. Let’s hope that Black Widow, Spider-Man and the god of thunder himself are nearby to foil his plans…

Several times a day at the foot of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, you’ll have the opportunity to see this amazing show that’s as action-packed as it is offbeat.

Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Dance-Off

As the name suggests, you’ll have the opportunity for a dance-off with the Guardians of the Galaxy! Music is a key part of the Peter Quill’s character, who’s better known by the name of Star-Lord. His adventures are set to the 70s & 80s tunes of his favourite playlists. And so as you’d expect, he’s making a truly musical entrance – alongside Gamora, the most dangerous woman in the universe. Watch out – they’ll soon find themselves in danger and will have a mission for you. That’s where you come in. Get ready to lend a helping hand to the Guardians of the Galaxy! They’re counting on you to help them – and they promise to get you moving!

Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Dance-Off will take place several times a day in the Production Courtyard and is set to be a truly wild experience!

Heroic Encounter: Captain America

The Marvel Summer of Super Heroes is also giving you the chance for a heroic handshake with the very first Avenger: Captain America. Steve Rogers himself will be at Walt Disney Studios Park to share an epic experience with you – one you’ll want to capture forever in a photo. It’s the perfect opportunity to show your friends and social media followers that you’ve met the leader of the Avengers!

Exclusive merchandise at Disneyland Paris!
The Marvel Summer of Super Heroes will also be your opportunity to discover a range of Marvel products exclusive to Disneyland Paris! A unique range of souvenir and lifestyle merchandise – including Marvel hero headbands – have been developed for the special occasion!

You don’t want to miss this event which promises to be a spectacular conclusion to Disneyland Paris’s 25th Anniversary celebrations. Are YOU ready for the Marvel Summer of Super Heroes?

Stan Lee Battles Hydra at Hong Kong Disneyland

Marvel legend Stan Lee stopped by Hong Kong Disneyland recently to join forces with Iron Man in a battle against the evil forces of Hydra across the city of Hong Kong in Iron Man Experience – Presented by AIA.

The attraction is estimated to have a cost of $100 million and employs a newer generation model of the Advanced Technology Leisure Application Simulator, currently used in Star Tours–The Adventures Continue. The attraction is located at the park’s Tomorrowland section, in an area named “Stark Expo”. Set a few years after the 2010 New York Stark Expo, Tony invites the visitors aboard the Iron Wing for a tour of Hong Kong, including the newly constructed Stark Tower. However, Hydra launches an attack on the city, forcing Tony to don the Iron Man armor and fight the menace alongside the Iron Wing.

Arriving visitors enter the Stark Expo, where they can learn the history of Howard Stark, the founder of Stark Industries, before meeting current president Tony Stark, who is introducing a new invention known as the “Iron Wing”. At the expo, guests can experience the history of Stark Industries through inventions by Howard Stark, and into the present day, where Tony Stark is inspiring his team of scientists and engineers to make our lives better, more convenient and safer through technology. At the back of the area, guests can enter the simulator attraction.

The Marvel-themed area also includes an interactive “Become Iron Man” experience in Expo Shop, themed merchandise and a character greeting with Iron Man.

Stan was the clear winner in the confrontation. With his feet firmly on the ground again, he spent some time in the park and served as honorary Grand Marshal of Disney Paint the Night Parade. He left Iron Man in charge after his departure.
