'Doctor Strange' preview coming to One Man's Dream in October

I would suspect that it's in both universal's and Disney's best interest to "have a conversation" about this. Technically, universal can't build an avengers attraction, but Disney could allow them to build one with the caveat that Disney could use other characters.

Right. Even though the contract prevents others from using people in the "families" of existing characters used by Uni, it's not clear to me that Uni would automatically be entitled to use any such character themselves (i.e. it might be that such characters are in limbo and can't be used by anyone unilaterally). So, even though "the Avengers family" cannot be used anywhere, could Uni automatically use Thor or Iron Man, etc. since they haven't previously? It's possible that Marvel would have to provide them permission to use those characters which could come into play into why "discussions" might have needed to be held for that planned attraction. And if there was some discussions, it would make sense for both sides to perhaps clarify any "grey area" of character use in the parks.

Feel free to correct me if there are specifics in the contract that say otherwise, but I just don't see clear indication as to how/when Uni can add characters to their existing stable of ones used.

It wasn't for specific characters.

Assuming such talks happened of course.

Hypothetically:
Universal gets MCU rights?
What does Disney get?

I would think Universal gets OG MCU Avengers (Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Fury) Disney gets Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr. Strange and potentially others.

Just a guess, but maybe the use of the Marvel Name and branding in California?

And I would assume renegotiating financial terms would be on the table too.

Tom's site is saying the construction at One Man's Dream is for a Dr. Strange meet and greet.

Although quite possible, it is just speculation on his part...

"This could be for a new exhibit, but this space is right next door to the theater where the Dr. Strange sneak peek is being shown."

But the click bait headline says otherwise.

Yeah, they are really good at those.

Does anyone actually have a complete list of the Marvel characters which WDW can use?

If you do, Disney would like you to forward it to them so that they know.

Disney is hoping The Inhumans is a big hit and would have a placement in DHS Marvel Universe

So chances are it's possible for preview concepts for the expansion of the studio or showing the model of Pandora...

More of a show than a meet-and-greet from what I understand.

So it's More of a Narnia Thing Again..

So it's More of a Narnia Thing Again..

I'd say more of a Green Army Man Boot Camp kind of thing, with kids pulled from the audience to participate.
