Everything from movie news to theme park updates and anything in between, we have heard about it all this weekend. And Disney has just revealed yet ANOTHER update on the expansion coming to Avengers Campus in Disneyland.

Right now, Avengers Campus at the Disneyland Resort is in the midst of a HUGE expansion that will double the size of the land, with construction in progress for two new attractions announced at D23 2024: Avengers Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab. Tonight, Disney shared that the land will soon reconnect with Cars Land.

Disney shared new details on the storyline, ride experience, and featured heroes for Avengers Infinity Defense. When it officially debuts at California Adventure, you’ll be welcomed to Avengers Infinity Defense as new recruits, where your journey begins with a pre-mission briefing from Ms. Marvel, played by Iman Vellani. You will learn that your mission is to reassemble the Avengers to battle King Thanos, preventing the mad titan from wreaking havoc everywhere.

But that’s not all! The Stark Flight Lab will also feature Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, and Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. As previously shared at SXSW 2025: On this new attraction inside Avengers Campus, you’ll sit in two-person “gyro-kinetic pods” and roll along a track before stopping in front of a giant robot arm, essentially feeling what it’s like to train like a flying Avenger.

Disney announced that both of the new attractions will open in 2028! Throughout D23, we have also gotten several other Avengers Campus updates, including a model of the new Stark Flight Lab attraction coming to the land.
