    Marvel Land Is Officially Coming To Disneyland Resort

    Marvel Land will be swinging into Disneyland Resort, the company announced Tuesday. A Marvel land is slated to open at Disneyland Resort in 2020 and New Marvel Lands will also be developed in Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong.

    These new experiences at Disneyland Resort, Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland will soon invite guests to become part of a bigger universe filled with epic heroes and adventures. Developed in partnership with Marvel Studios and Marvel Themed Entertainment, these three new areas will champion the next generation of Super Heroes.

    At Disneyland Resort, the new Super Hero-themed land will begin recruiting guests in 2020, with even more new experiences to follow. The Guardians of the Galaxy will be joined by Spider-Man and the Avengers in what will become a completely immersive Super Hero universe, furthering the evolution of Disney California Adventure park. This new land will be anchored by the popular Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, in the adjacent space that is currently occupied by “a bug’s land.” “It’s Tough to Be a Bug” closed March 19 to make way for this new heroic experience; the rest of the land will close in late summer.

  • Explosive New Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Just Released

    Explosive New Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Just Released

    Disney has just released the final trailer for Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War” and it doesn’t disappoint. The new latest installment of the franchise directed by Anthony and Joe Russo is jam-packed with heroes and action and like the first trailer, it promises death and destruction.

    The newest trailer has all the avengers in it, old and new, as they mount their epic battle against Josh Brolin’s villain Thanos.

    “The entire time I knew him, he only ever had one goal: to wipe out half the universe. If he gets all the Infinity Stones, he can do it with the snap of his fingers,” Zoe Saldana’s Gamora says. Take a look at the amazing trailer for the film below.

    Tickets for the film also went on sale today. They can be purchased from Fandango or from specific theater chains now.

    An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.

    Originally the film was slated to open in May but the date was changed a few weeks back after an epic Twitter exchange between Marvel and Robert Downey Jr. Were sure you have the date marked on your calendars.

    They also dropped a brand new movie poster to mark the occasion.


    The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, and Scarlett Johansson, along with Avengers newcomers Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman and Tessa Thompson. The Guardians of the Galaxy, lead by Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord, will also be joining the fun.

    With a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, Avengers: Infinity War is produced by Kevin Feige, with exec producers Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo and Stan Lee.

    “Avengers: Infinity War” opens in theaters on April 27.

  • If Robert Downey Jr. Wants Infinity War Release Date Moved Up Then It Happens

    If Robert Downey Jr. Wants Infinity War Release Date Moved Up Then It Happens

    When you have clout like Robert Downey Jr. you get anything you ask for. There certainly ain’t no strings on him and it seems he is the one pulling the strings here. So if Iron Man wants to see Avengers: Infinity War a week early then Marvel changes the release date.

    Disney recently announced a re-shuffling of their upcoming film release dates and the Avengers Infinity War release date has been moved up from its initial May 4 date to April 27, 2018.

    With just three months until Infinity War was slated to hit theaters, Marvel Studios has bumped up the release date for all at the request of Mr. Robert Downey Jr. himself.

    Below you’ll find a series of tweets between Downey Jr. and the studio.

    Okay so it’s all in good fun and a hilarious and very effective marketing scheme. But Avengers: Infinity War is already one of the most anticipated movies of 2018 and Robert Downey Jr. and the entire world he is taking with him to see the movie are jumping for joy over the earlier release date.

    The move probably makes sense as it would have been going up against Deadpool 2 on May 18 and Solo: A Star Wars Story on May 25. With its earlier release date on April 27, Infinity War’s  gets a little more time to rake in the box office cash before these to films hit theaters.

    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.”
