Disney Wants Marvel Land To Be As Interactive As Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge


It looks like the success of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is a true inspiration for Disney. The House of Mouse now has every intention to make the planned Marvel Land area of the Disney park to be just as interactive as the Star Wars attraction.

Marvel Studios EVP of Production Victoria Alonso recently spoke to IGN about plans for the Avengers-themed areas in several Disney Parks. Not surprisingly, Alonso admitted that the new Marvel Land will be just as immersive as Galaxy's Edge.

"The parks will make their own announcements," Alonso said, "But as a fan, I think that we, and you, and all of us are going to be incredibly excited. And if Galaxy's Edge is just one hint of what the magnificent minds of the Imagineering and the Parks people can do, then hopefully we'll be side-by-side with them. We're very excited about everything that they're thinking about."

So what can fans look forward to in Marvel Land? Walt Disney Imagineering's creative executive Scott Drake shared that the company's work with Marvel will include new attractions at Disneyland Resort and Disneyland Paris. Interestingly, Drake stated that there are plans for a Spider-Man experience.

"Both parks will feature an exciting new attraction where guests of all ages can join the heroes in action. We are expanding our story universe by creating a new organization, the Worldwide Engineering Brigade, to be our setting for this experience. Though WEB is grounded in classic characters like Peter Parker, it is an organization that we can all be a part of. We can't wait to debut a brand-new, cutting-edge interface as part of this fun, interactive attraction," he said.

The Marvel Land area of Disney's California Adventure park is expected to open in 2020.
