Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed the obvious today. After smashing through the record books with its $207 million domestic opening weekend and ruling the world with over $702 million grossed to date, Walt Disney Studios is working on The Avengers 2.
Iger also said The Avengers would appear at Disney theme parks in the future, which will be something new for the Marvel super heroes. Anyone who’s been to Universal Orlando Resort has experienced attractions like The Incredible Hulk Coaster and The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man. Now imagine what type of rides Walt Disney Imagineers can conjure with Marvel super heroes at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts.
Those wondering where The Avengers 2 might go need only to stay until after the credits of the first film. (Spoiler alert!). That’s cosmic villain Thanos, who makes a cameo at the end of the movie. He’s a force to reckon with, having killed every one of the Avengers in the comic book world. Here’s hoping director Joss Whedon returns to helm the sequel and things don’t get too out of whack like they did in Iron Man 2. (Not that the $1.2 billion the Iron Man movies made worldwide is anything to complain about.)
