Guardians of the Galaxy coming to Energy Pavilion at Epcot

[*Q*]

You sure about all that?

If we get some good concept art of the Future World spine remodel that'll at least ease the pain of Guardians somewhat.

Truth. If they deliver the goods big time in regards to their Innoventions/Spine projects.....I'll be willing to overlook some things....

I think I'm going to board the hype-train now.

Even if there is no Epcot spine announcement tomorrow, I'm still looking forward to it in the nearish future.

Agreed. I can't be the only one who is way more (cautiously) excited about this than any of the other WDW developments, right?

Same here, no matter what happens.

If this doesn't get announced during D23, I would figure it would be during SDCC this year...

Oh baby, this is probably the piece of news that excites me the most!

if any Marvel property was used in Future World and, specifically, the Universe of Energy, I would think Antman would work the best thematically.

This is an interesting idea.

For those who are familiar with the (ins, outs, what have you's) of the Marvel/Universal contract:

Is Antman available for Disney to use east of the Mississippi?

Could there not be a third option?
@George is neither a dumba$$, nor a jacka$$.

The reason we all love him is because he is occasionally a smart .... Maybe you just don't "get" him. And that makes me sad for you.

@George is one of my most favorite posters here. His stuff never fails to make me laugh.

No clue. I just like The Big Lebowski reference!

Ant-Man is one of the original Avengers, so he is Universal’s to use.

Welp, I guess this explains why they settled on Guardians for Epcot...

Your setting these poor people up for massive disappointment. Have you no heart?

I am excited to see @marni1971 roast the sad little man above this post.

Whoever is right will receive 1 internet point*.

*Internet point will be 1 (one) "Like" from me. It is not a form of currency and does not increase the size of various body parts no matter how special you think you are. Purchase not necessary. See back of packaging for more details.

Truthfully I don't care who's right. It's fun watching new stuff announced while knowing what's been rumored.

Sure is. No matter what the end result will be.

I'm in line for Mission Breakout right now. Don't get me wrong, the building looks bad, but I also didn't like how this Tower looked either. Have there been any rumblings of a DCA name change?

Funnily enough I just came back from DCA and loved everything about Mission: Breakout. The building is a little gaudy, but fits with the Collector's character profile, the inside was fantastically themed with a lot of Easter Eggs to Marvel and to Disneyland itself and the ride felt more intense than the standard ToT and was a blast. The screens were majorly HD where it was jarring a bit just how clear it looked.

I will say this, A LOT of kids were crying on that ride. In all the times I rode ToT I only saw a few here and there but with Guardians there were a lot, it felt much more intense even if everything was in fact the same.

I'm surprised that Guardians can be used East of the Mississippi (I'm too lazy to go back and read 370 pages to why) but I think any Guardians overlay would be visually interesting and fit Future World nicely. A lot of kids and teens are over the moon with this property more than I've seen with the standard characters from the Marvel license so it makes sense, I guess.

How would Guardians fit Future World?

First, we get rid of the name and idea of "Future World"...
