The Mermaid skeleton could’ve stayed. I always found that to be neat.

The American Adventure is boring and its not even a Disney ride. Hopefully it gets replaced by a Pixar or Marvel ride like Remy Ratatouille.
But... but.. it’s got a screenz. A big one too.

Obviously they should put a Captain America ride there. It's America. Duh.

Luckily, they can't!
Yeah, it would take a catastrophic hit to the economy and especially the entertainment industry for Universal ever to consider selling or sharing Marvel theme park rights to WDW, while, at the same time, Disney has a nice nest egg it's sitting on.
That'll never happen.

That doesn't change anything about my post, though. They can't right now, which is all I was saying.
I wasn't speculating about the future, although I personally think what you're referencing makes it less likely to happen, not more. Why would Disney spend a bunch of money to buy back rights that would then require them to spend even more money to actually build new attractions? They're cutting spending as much as possible. I don't think Universal would sell right now either, because it would also require them to spend the money to totally retheme one of the areas of their park. It's hard to see how the financials would work in a way that was actually beneficial for both parties.
Even moreso now that many of the major MCU characters are finished. It's hard to imagine Disney deciding to build an MCU ride based on characters who have been out of the MCU for 10 years (which is likely how long it would be before they actually designed and built anything), because those specific incarnations may not have a long lifespan. As tremendously successful as they've been, they don't really seem like the type of movies that will be attracting many new viewers 10-15 years from now. Not that they couldn't base it on the comics instead, but I don't think they'd consider that a very big draw.

Looks like they’re still working on the infamous blue building, as evidenced by the tarp for the (green) boom lift, and new plastic coverings above the utility door for some new decoration(s).
Also something new — there’s hanging planters on the bottom windows which should look pretty when finished and decorated! I think they’ll also add it to the upper windows as well since there’s a blank space below the windows.
As seen here on week of Aug 5th, hanging planters haven’t been installed yet:
Pictures come from site that shall not be named...observations are my own from comparing new and old photos!!

Glad to see they're still working on blue building, The new planters are a nice touch.
I've been following it's progress and can't wait to see the finished product. Thank you!

That street leading up to the ride looks so cramped. How can they implement a entrance/exit only walkway for social distancing when it opens and the line for the ride spills through WS. Unless they have backstage queues built in.
Obviously capacity across the board will be down. If needs be they’ll divide the new promenade down the middle.
Assuming they feel it safe to open a new attraction when Covid-19 is so rampant in Florida.
