That's called Comunicore/Innoventions and they've already proven it can work so you're right.

The need one in IoA, too.
And a Minions air blimp to connect the two.
Only if you bought the Uni version of a hopper, tho.

Why am I suddenly reminded of early innoventions when they had the deal with nintendo.

So, basically, we could say with confidence that ANY new Marvel character that debuted after 1999 would NOT be in the contract and should be fair game? I have to wonder if this is what WDW is waiting for... the MCU clearly seems to be setting up the Young Avengers and most (all?) of them debuted in comics that came out after 1999... I wonder what the contract says about variations of current characters... like Kid Loki or Miles Morales

Variants are not specifically addressed.

Would be great to see Miles if he's allowed

How would this have even worked? WDW can't use characters that are in the Avengers family.
Like I said earlier this could be a reason why it’s not happening

I don't think they are holding their success at bay...Disney is already too successful financially... Disney also has a HUGE amount of IP usable and ready...eventually the super hero thing will wane in popularity and then it will be time for something else.
with several Superhero tv series and way too many movies, I am about sick of them...Give me something new to dream about that isn't uber-violent... It is time we as a society start realizing that we are becoming desensitized to violence and it is getting worse and worse.

No. It's Fantabulous. Fantastic is DEFINITELY locked up by the contract.That. Is. Fantastic.

I'm curious as to what exactly the Avengers E-ticket is -usually it's described as some sort of Quinjet experience. Maybe somehow a variant on the FoP tech?
Anyway, my question is that if the ride is based more on the experience of being in battle and using a certain "tech", it might not really be dependent on specific characters for the story. Perhaps the idea was to do a similar experience as what was being planned for DCA but instead use different characters - e.g. maybe a "young avengers" like Ms. Marvel, Hulkling, Wiccan & Speed, America Chavez, etc. who should all likely be usable since they are new characters. I mean, the following scene doesn't seem like you need the specific characters depicted:
You could have a similar experience with some tweaking. I dunno, just a thought, but I could see that as having been the idea at play here for Epcot.
Also, is the Avengers E-ticket actively being build at Hong Kong?
That image is for the Avengers E-ticket for DCA. The entrance is there and the expansion pad for the show building sits empty.I'm curious as to what exactly the Avengers E-ticket is -usually it's described as some sort of Quinjet experience. Maybe somehow a variant on the FoP tech?

Ride would start with all passengers riding in a Quinjet...traditional Star Tours-ish style as shown here:
At some point the ship breaks apart and/or we eject for an individual flying experience over Wakanda
Battle ensues with you taking part in your individual battle seat taking center stage in the battle.
Unfortunately since the pre-COVID discussion of it, radio silence.

Right, I know this. The ride is "planned" for DCA and HKDL and is possible for the Studios in Paris. The reason why we are talking about it in this thread is because @marni1971 indicated that there was consideration for it to be also built in Epcot in the WoL footprint instead of building Play! but that never happened.
Interesting tidbit recently about the Quinjet ride is this:
I would be curious how that work work especially given the concept art makes it seem like you are sitting at first, but maybe it isn't the case and you are standing in the Quinjet? Kinda wish they would build this if only to see exactly what it is like.
Also, if it were being considered for Epcot in some form (I'd guess with different characters), it would be nice it it were actually used as an anchor for a Marvel land in WDW (like, say, DCA). As we've discussed, there are characters they can use in WDW if they wish - Dr. Strange, Shang-Chi, Ms. Marvel, etc so they could put together a proper land if they wanted.

Wow! Very cool concept. I can visualize the ship break apart being a pretty easy effect to achieve, a lift the curtain type thing, not unlike the screen reveal in FoP. As far as the individual battle parts, would one assume from this that each seat would also have some type of independent controlled movement? Individual Kuka arms or something of the like floating around an imax screen? Could be epic

Would it have required a legal discussion with Universal?
That of course maybe why it won’t be built in Epcot.
