Disney Parks announced that the upcoming Avengers: Quantum Encounter dinner theater show on Disney Cruise Lines will feature some of the biggest stars in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“I am so excited to share that the world-renowned stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are lending their talents to this first-of-its-kind adventure!” Danny Handke, Senior Creative Director with Walt Disney Imagineering, wrote in a new post on the Disney Parks Blog. “At Worlds of Marvel, our guests will be part of a real-life Avengers mission as they watch some of their favorite heroes in action: Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as The Wasp, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, and Brie Larson as Captain Marvel!”
Handke also revealed that Kerry Condon has signed on to reprise her role as the voice of F.R.I.D.A.Y., while actor Ross Marquand will lend his vocals to the villainous Ultron.
The Avengers: Quantum Encounter show will follow Ant-Man and The Wasp as they present some of the most powerful superhero technologies in the world and demonstrate the latest and greatest advances from Pym Tech. Things will get messy, however, when Ultron shows up with an army of robot sentries on a mission to steal the technology, and Ant-Man and The Wasp must recruit some of their superhero friends to save the day. Handke also promised in his post that an as-yet-to-be-revealed Marvel hero will make a surprise cameo during the show.
In addition to prepping the new Quantum Encounter show, Marvel is allegedly developing films centered on the Thunderbolts and Nova comic book series for the 2022-2023 film season. It’s also been reported that a Fantastic Four reboot, a Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings sequel and a project focused on Okoye (Danai Gurira), General of Black Panther’s Dora Milaje warriors, are also in the works.
In the meantime, Marvel’s Hawkeye series — starring Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton and Hailee Steinfeld as fellow archer Kate Bishop — is set to debut on Disney+ on Nov. 24. In a recent interview about the project, Renner confirmed his character will be hard of hearing in the show, a character trait from the comics that had not yet been acknowledged in the MCU.
Disney Cruise Lines first brought the MCU into the fold back in 2017, when it celebrated the inaugural Marvel Day at Sea. The annual, one-day celebration is held on select Caribbean sailings and features character appearances, special activities, exclusive merchandise, and film screenings. Avengers: Quantum Encounter is set to debut on the Disney Wish as part of the Worlds of Marvel in Summer 2022.
