The Walt Disney Company plans to add Marvel Comics–themed areas to several of its theme parks: Disney California Adventure in 2020, Hong Kong Disneyland in 2019, and Walt Disney Studios Park in 2020.[3][4][5] The Marvel-themed area or "land" at each park will be inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will be developed by Walt Disney Imagineering, in collaboration with Marvel Studios and Marvel Themed Entertainment.[6]

Disney California Adventure

The version at Disney California Adventure will be taking up the current space of A Bug's Land along with the now closed 3D show It's Tough to Be a Bug!, and will be anchored by the nearby Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! attraction. A Bug's Land closed on September 5, 2018 to make way for the new land. At the 2017 D23 Expo, Disney said the Guardians of the Galaxy will be joined by Spider-Man and the Avengers as part of the new immersive Superhero area at the park. Disney has said phase one of this superhero themed area will open in 2020. Due to a 1994 contract with Universal Parks & Resorts, Disney cannot use the "Marvel" name in the area name or attractions.[7][8] Thus an official name for the area has yet to be announced.

On top of this, there will be new attractions and other forms of entertainment added to the land up until the year 2023, when a brand new Avengers themed ride will open.[9][10]
