Avengers Infinity Defense was announced this weekend at D23, during the Disney announcement extravaganza’s Horizons: A Carousel of Progress showcase. There, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige and Walt Disney Imagineer Brent Strong gave an update on two new experiences coming to Disney Parks globally. <\/p>\n
“Our team enjoys being part of the Disney family because that means we can tell stories in so many ways that go well beyond the big screen,” Feige said. “Plus, we’ve been able to create some storytelling that you can only hear about and experience with the Disney parks.”<\/p>\n
Opening 2028 in Disneyland’s Avengers Campus in California, Avengers Infinity Defense will see guests “reassemble the Avengers to battle King Thanos”, Disney has said.
