DHS New Villains Show Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Summer 2025

[Agent H]

I mean, hey! If any TV villains were gonna be apart of this, especially since Hämster has the door cracked a bit, it'd definitely be those two, especially since Doof already showed up last year in Cali!

Me if dr. Doof appeared in the show

As much as Disney doesn't want to be seen as competing with Epic Universe, any new offerings opening around that time period will be seen as competing. If people are already combining Universal and Disney, it'll be a bonus to have those shows open at the same time as Epic. I can see them trying to open those shows at the same time as reopening Test Track and the new parade to package them as the new things for 2025. Either way, the new Disney entertainment, Disneyland's 70th anniversary, the last days of Muppets Courtyard and Epic Universe opening, May/June will be busy months for Park Fans

Disney definitely is competing.

But they couldn't have started the 'catch up' until recently because they didn't have the free cash to do so. There was COVID. Then they made investing in streaming their top priority (and when you look at the sorry state of NBC and CBS streaming... they made the right decision). Part of that was buying out Comcast from Hulu.

Now that streaming is net positive, Disney is dropping $60B over 10 years on Entertainment and Experiences (which includes cruise ships). And a promise to spend $17B in WDW.

So, yes, Disney is competing, but, they had priorities above the parks for a while.

Entertainment is something they can throw together in a year, compared to E-Ticket rides that take 2-3 years. So, they're dropping new entertainment on us.
