One appearance thats missing yet major (in the grand scheme of things) to is the Moon Knight banners and billboards inside Hollywood Studios which signals them as a character usable in the park
And adding Egypt to World Showcase would be great for the skyline and they could shoehorn another Marvel franchise into it. (FYI, I do not want Moon Knight in Epcot.)

If Play! Pavilion does open, we should all bet on how many years it lasts before being converted into seasonal/festival space. I'd give it five years.
Assuming it launches as originally envisioned, it's literally just a screen farm with meet and greets. I don't foresee much of a reason to shut it down, though they could certainly allow it to age ungracefully. The addition of meet and greets to Communicore does have me wondering if they still intend to have this serve that function, though.

New CC SW gets the Mickey family.

Rest of the IPs go to Play.

Where on earth has the Doctor Strange thing come from? Just wishful thinking?

I love Doctor Strange. I think this particular character has been my favourite of all the films and stuff released from the MCU. But I think he could be utilised better elsewhere. Better at Disney's Hollywood Studio's.

Insider said at one time WoL was considered for a second MCU attraction, but, that was a long, long time ago. And it should be considered a very dead rumor.

A few more minor additions:
-In 2014, Studios did a GotG preview in the Sounds Dangerous Theater
-In 2021, Animation Courtyard had advertisements for Shang Chi ()

Had been hunting down to see if they had ever promoted Shangchi in the park, struggled to find anything but glad you did! Disney really is building up quite a variety of MCU characters for Disney World, really hope one day it amounts to something beyond an oddly placed Guardians ride.

Shang-Chi and Dr. Strange could easily make a good core for a new land.

Well, the Avengerail train was allowed on the MK monorail line (outside parks but in hotels) but not the Epcot line (goes into a park). So, yes, it would seem.
Thanks!

Now I’m left wondering which resort they might choose to do this at. At DLP they went with one of their top tier hotels.

Seriously unlikely to be GF. Poly and Contemporary have already been done. And I think we can rule out AKL and probably WL.

I’m thinking Boardwalk. 🤔

The YC and BC have a theme that doesn’t really fit with Marvel particularly well as far as I can tell (not being a Marvel fan at all). The Hotel New York fitted quite well at DLP. Could the Boardwalk work as a Marvel theme?
