Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

Erhm, this is ironic considering Iron Man isn’t part of the Marvel Universe technically anymore AND RDJ doesn’t voice the existing attraction.

At least you have a chance Tom will, RDJ would not.


The theme park Universe forms its own technical canon.

Historically speaking Disney likes to use mimics for their park iterations of characters and I can only think of a few exceptions to this. As pointed out by Ismael Flores, Spiderman will likely be costumed in all of his appearances, so there isn't much need for Tom Hollands involvement. A sound alike will do.

RDJ's fee is likely the reason they went with a sound alike actor. Rumor had it that RDJ got $75M for Endgame. So you can imagine his fee would be more than the budget for the attraction would have allowed.

Holland likely doesn't garner that large of salary yet, as he is still relatively unknown outside of playing Spider-Man. But yes I would say they could do a sound alike actor and would be fine. My point in this discussion was to say there is nothing contract wise preventing Disney/Marvel from using Holland in the attraction if they wanted to.

Have any insiders hinted at the opening month for the new spider man attraction? taking my first trip to Disneyland next year and just wondering if there was any idea.

A lot of it might depend upon the plot, if Peter Parker shows up unmasked, they would probably really try hard to use Tom Holland. If it’s just Spiderman, then why not just get a sound alike?

 

[TROR]

Honestly who cares this ride is going to suck major anyway

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Tom Holland's Spider-Man voice isn't even his real one, just his imitation of an American accent.

I'm sure other British boys could do the same thing.

If you read my post earlier since the guaridans are right next door with original gamora (who is now dead) and the collector (also dead) these rides do not take place in the current timeline so Iron Man can be alive and be the main hero of the ride.

I completely agree. This all spawned from some around here thinking that because the Sony/Marvel MCU talks broke down that it was going to completely derail the attraction. And I'm just pointing out all the facts on the topic and where a lot of people are misunderstanding the Sony/Marvel MCU deal.

Too bad it won't be Robert Downey Jr's voice. Gonna be weird having an Iron-Man ride for a hero who no longer will have any adventures in the mcu and seeing that same Iron-Man that won't be voiced by RDJ even though it is supposed to be RDJ's Iron-Man. They should just scrap the Iron-Man ride and make it a Spiderman ride.



That's all I was pointing out, the argument is literally the same both ways. I actually have zero problem with either Iron Man or Spiderman.

It can totally be RDJ. There is no reason not to be. As he still shows up for Dinsey evens such as the past D23. And no, the argument is not the same. using Tom Holland's version of Spider-Man makes no sense when your existing contract expires and sony could sue as Tror pointed out if they have him record lines for the ride since it is their version of the characther disney is trying to portray.

Sorry, I think the piece you are missing is that the existing Hong Kong Ride isn't RDJ, it is voiced by someone else. I expect the Paris ride also won't be voiced by him.

I don't give a ratss @ss about hong kong or their attractions. In America, specifically CA, they can get RDJ back to record lines as Iron Man for an Iron Man ride.

I understand where you’re coming from, but showing up for something that amounts to a PR appearance is a little different than doing voiceover work that would be sanctioned under SAG-AFTRA contracts.

No-namers would more than likely get something called a basic “scale” rate unless they have some negotiating power. So as cool as it would be to have all of the proper mcu cast, some ‘random’ would be closer to Bobs speed

Fun fact: That Iron Man ride shot at least part of their stuff here in Van Nuys

And to be honest I think you missed the point, the Sony/Marvel MCU film contract has absolutely no bearing on the Spider-Man attraction, even if the contract negotiations end the current contract. Theme Park rights are 100% with Marvel/Disney no matter what portrayal of Spider-Man they choose to use. There would be no lawsuit.

This was from D23, explaining (kinda) the 'Campus' angle.

Centralized Assembly Mobilized to Prepare, Unite and Safeguard has a very 'Iron Curtain' vibe to it. Like Disney is building the People and Workers Animation Collective, of the Anaheim Oblast.

I think they are trying too hard to make the word CAMPUS.

Just like they did to SHIELD. Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage and Law-Enforcement Division

I think that's the joke, though. Ever since the first Iron Man there have been shoehorned acronyms, leading most recently to Spider-man Far From Home's "EDITH"

And I believe in the MCU SHIELD stands for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division.

I think when the MCU goes cosmic, we'll meet S.W.O.R.D.

You've picked up on the theme. Marvel has been full of acronyms long before Disney ever bought them. They are just continuing the long tradition of creating silly acronyms for long titles within the land as well. I'm sure there will be Easter Eggs all over the place with others besides just CAMPUS and WEB.

There was a hint at that in the mid-credit scene in Far from Home. So even if Spidey doesn't have future appearances in the MCU, they will still continue with the SWORD story line.
