Avengers Campus
Avengers Campus is a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)–themed area located at Disney California Adventure and Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris, and being developed for Hong Kong Disneyland under the name Stark Expo. The Marvel-themed areas or "lands" are being developed simultaneously at the three parks and inspired by the MCU. However, they instead take place in the "Marvel Theme Park Universe", an alternate universe parallel to it within the MCU multiverse, in which the Blip, introduced in Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and subsequent events did not occur. They are designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, in collaboration with Marvel Studios and Marvel Themed Entertainment.
All three parks had hosted Marvel-themed seasonal events in the past.
Based on three different continents, the Marvel-themed areas will be defined as the "Super Hero campus" of their specific region, that will help guests to become heroes. Each area will feature mostly different sets of attractions and entertainment, while being strongly interconnected with each other by sharing a common narrative.
Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is centered around an Avengers campus located on the former shared grounds of a Stark Industries plant and Strategic Scientific Reserve complex. The area takes up the space previously occupied by A Bug's Land—with Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure using the same show building that previously housed the It's Tough to Be a Bug! attraction—as well as absorbing the nearby Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! attraction which opened in 2017 in the adjacent Hollywood Land.
A Bug's Land closed on September 5, 2018, to make way for the new area. At the 2017 D23 Expo, Disney announced the Guardians of the Galaxy attraction would be joined by Spider-Man and the Avengers as part of the new immersive superhero-themed area at the park. Disney initially announced on March 11, 2020, that Avengers Campus would open on July 18, 2020, but was delayed due to the theme parks being shut down caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and two stay at home orders issued by California Governor Gavin Newsom. In late December 2020, Disney announced that Avengers Campus was scheduled to open in 2021. Due to a 1994 contract with Universal Parks & Resorts, Disney cannot use the "Marvel" name in the park's branding or attractions. In April 2021, Disney announced that the area would open on June 4, 2021.
On February 28, 2022, to honor Stan Lee, the park dedicated a plaque by an entrance to the Campus surrounded by blue planters as Lee would have celebrated his 100th Birthday in December 2022. The plaque's inscription reads: "We dedicate Avengers Campus to the incomparable Stan Lee. 'That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done and because it's the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt a real superhero.' Thank you, Stan, for inspiring the hero within each of us. You have made us all True Believers." In September 2022, at the D23 Expo, it was announced that an Avengers multiverse ride was in development featuring a version of Thanos called "King Thanos".
In early June 2024, Disneyland announced that the Doctor Strange: Mysteries of the Mystic Arts show would have its final performance by June 30, 2024. Although Doctor Strange would continue to make appearances in Avengers Campus. In July 2024, it was announced that Deadpool would appear at Avengers Campus for a limited time, marking the first time that Disney Parks have featured a live character experience from an R-rated film. The character also joined the Avengers Campus's shows such as Guardians of the Galaxy – Awesome Dance Off! and Avengers Assemble!, while themed food was added to Pym Test Kitchen. At the D23 fan event in August 2024 the Avengers multiverse ride was revealed to be called Avengers Infinity Defense, while a new attraction, Stark Flight Lab, was announced. Additionally, Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Tony Stark for both Avengers Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab. Construction on these attractions began in 2025.
The following is a list of characters who have been available for meet and greets or have made appearances at Avengers Campus. Many character appearances are timed with the release of their associated Marvel Studios film or television project.
