It's not true - and they've officially made the "no link" list, along with ITM and TPR.
MSHI Expansion?

I can’t lie, that’s a very reasonable “no link” list.

The ONLY reason this would ever remotely make sense is that TL theatre, if added to this land, makes it MASSIVE. But this makes no sense and TY to mods here for quickly clarifying. Unless Disney gives you another theme parks worth of money for the rights, keep this forever.
Plus Universal gets a kick out of trolling Disney by not letting them have access to one of their biggest properties at WDW.
Another reason this rumor makes no sense right now is the next major thing on the to-do list for IOA once USF gets addressed would be Lost Continent whether it be Zelda or something else considering the land appears to be stuck in development hell at the moment.

Spider-man remains one of the top rides at the resort. The upgrade they did years ago cemented it well moving forward and one of the best attention-grabbers at the end of the Port of Entry is the Hulk every time it roars by. I can't imagine losing such an iconic part of IOA.
I'd be more likely to believe TL was coming up soon on the chopping block way before MSHI would ever be considered.

I seriously doubt Universal will ever give up the Marvel IP in our lifetime. And I hope they never do.

I think the bottom floor would be a buyout that would cover the costs of demolition, replacement, and the loss of profits - something so huge I don't think Disney would ever say yes.

Seeing this thread getting bumped got my hopes up for something legit. Oh well. Universal has much better places to spend money than change over a great section of IOA.
It would be hilarious if they did something new with the X-Men before they got into the MCU, but I'm not holding my breath.

The most I forsee for Marvel Super Hero Island's future is some aesthetic updates like the Hulk and Spider-Man got in the mid 2010s. Maybe they could give Dr. Doom a more interesting drop profile or something.
