Disney Parks Reveals New King Thanos Details At D23 As Robert Downey Jr. Confirms Return As Iron Man

Marvel had a huge presence during the Disney Parks panel at D23 and several new rides are in the works for Disneyland California and beyond. We also have news on King Thanos and Robert Downey Jr.'s return!

Disney Parks showcased plans to expand all its theme parks at D23 yesterday evening, with Avatar heading to California, Paris getting The Lion King, and villains gearing up to invade Florida's Magic Kingdom.

You can find more details about those on Disney's social channels, but we know it's Marvel you'll be most interested in. 

Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D'Amaro announced that Disney California Adventure's Avengers Campus is getting two new attractions, with construction set to begin next year. 

The first of those is "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. It's said you also just might find yourself face-to-face with King Thanos, too.

Tony Stark will also have a mission for eager recruits; in "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.

Oh, and Robert Downey Jr. - who recently returned to the MCU as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars - will reprise the role of Iron Man for the ride. 

Shanghai Disneyland is getting a new Spider-Man ride, as is Hong Kong Disneyland. Unfortunately, nothing new is coming to Paris at the moment and Universal's use of Marvel characters in Orlando also means Disney World will remain superhero-free for the foreseeable future.

There was a little bit of Star Wars news too because "Smuggler's Run" in Galaxy's Edge is being rethemed to The Mandalorian with visitors now set to follow Din Djarin and Grogu on a new, action-packed adventure.

You know exactly what you're doing with that title. Now I have no doubt that RDJ will be playing doom AND Tony in secret wars at least this title makes it seem like that was confirmed. Which as we know. It's not

Still though this news is cool for Disneyland fans.

If him being cast as Doctor Doom wasn't enough of a guarantee that he'll also be back as Stark, then him providing the voice for a freakin rollercoaster is.

@Moriakum - Not really. “Disney Parks” is at the start of the headline, it’s a well-known fact King Thanos is a Disneyland character, and we’re hardly going to bury RDJ’s MCU return as Iron Man in an article about a theme park ride. 😂 Pretty sure @NateBest would agree that this isn’t “clickbait” too, soooo… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Josh, you are a goddamn prostitute for Disney. I'm convinced now you have a tattoo on your chest that depicts you giving Mickey Mouse a blow job.

Even better, you have Mickey's mouth tattooed around your belly button so you can pretend to jizz on him when you furiously masturbate at the whim of Disney. For a treat you do it front of a full wall painting of Kevin Feige naked bent over with a rose between his butt crack. Then you start crying and shouting "CAN I BE YOUR LOVE...CAN YOU MAKE ME A PRETTY BOY!!! I WANT TO BE YOUR PRETTY BOY!!"

I’m sure he’ll appear as Tony Stark in either of the two next Avengers movies, but why keep being a dick with these headlines? Don’t answer; we all know why.
