I believe the plan is for MMRR to open on same timings as SW:GE.

Yep, closest thing is Indiana Jones which opened in 1989 but later in the year.

You seemed pretty sure they couldn't use ant man though.

So we're really not sure about any characters, except I'd say if they have an attraction at IOA they are 100% out, like Spiderman.

If they are featured on a cutout, they are probably out but not 100%

The way I understand it/think of it has nothing to do with cutouts or anything

It is if the character was ever officially a member of the Avengers in the comics then Disney cannot use them in WDW. So Black Panther was a member at one time so he is out but the Guardians never were. Just appearing in an Avengers movie does it count - you need to have beeen an official member at one point

wow, I totally missed this 30 years anniversary (next year). Wonder if there will be any promotions?

I am sure a cupcake or two

As far as the question of "Captain Marvel" is still up in the air...but there's a pretty big red flag on that one...Disney is NOT allowed to use the name "Marvel" in the theme parks at all, even in California. Going to be interesting to see how they get around that one.

If Captain Marvel becomes a big enough hit to bring to the park, they could probably just go with calling her Carol Danvers. Pretty sure even in the comics she's referred to much more often as Carol than Captain Marvel ... as there's been several Captain Marvels and her identity isn't a secret. Don't know if that would still work legally though ...

I was at my local Disney Store over the weekend picking up some gift cards and noticed the CMs were all wearing big yellow Disney EATS! buttons ... at least I now know what they were plugging

ok... I did watch it. But it brings to mind the discussion here a while back on how Disney doesn't know when to say "no" to social media trends. *cough*purplewall*cough*

Fun! They referenced the quantum realm.... so maybe there was some reason they released this one after IW. We saw the other Ant Man preview before IW in the theater, so they are certainly riding the hype too.
