Deadpool Crashes D23 With Major Announcements (and Questionable Ideas)

from Disney Parks Blog by Scott Trowbridge

Who let Deadpool into D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event? Well, someone’s about to have their security clearance revoked, because the mostly red, box office star, the “Merc with a Mouth” himself stormed the stage during Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase to pitch his own ideas for what he thinks might be good additions to Disney Parks around the world.

His bad ideas include the Chimichanga Chaser, Deadpool’s Heck House, Logan’s Run (Featuring Wolverine). The possibilities are endless.

Errr, maybe not. Leave this to the professional Imagineers, Wade.

While those might be some of Deadpool’s “brown sky” ideas, they’re not actually in development. But, Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro did have a few other Super Hero related things to announce during the showcase.

Ready, recruits? The size of Avengers Campus at Disneyland will double with not one but two brand new attractions to suit up and fight alongside some of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Construction on this expansion will begin next year.

Get ready for a multi-world adventure experience with Avengers Infinity Defense. Technology that allows the Avengers to jump between worlds has gone missing, and King Thanos is using it to wreak havoc everywhere. Recruits will travel to iconic locations like Asgard, Wakanda, and New York City alongside the likes of big, and small, heroes. You also just might find yourself face-to-face with King Thanos, too.

If you’re up for another mission, Tony Stark has one for you. And you know Tony, he always wants to try something new and exciting, and it’s going to make you feel like a Super Hero yourself. With the just announced Stark Flight Lab, you’re going to sit in two-person pods and deploy to a test station. Then a robot arm grabs your pod and starts whirling you around in a simulated flight.

And, a familiar face will join you at the Stark Flight Lab — Mr. Stark himself. Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as Tony Stark for the attractions in the land.
