MSHI Expansion?

[mbrou24]

Another thing to consider is yes while marvel is owned by the Disney company, it is not owned by disneyparks. So the company is still very much acting in an independent way just under the Disney umbrella. Take for example the movies.... Marvel is linked to x men and spiderman but those are not Disney films they are fox and don't respectively. They do not refuse to allow those films to happen, so I would assume an expansion would work in the same way so long as the characters used in the expansion fall under the terms of their agreement. Keep in mind captain America and thor appear in the island but not in attraction form so I would assume since they do appear, a ride based off their character would be plausible.

Can Universal use Robert Downey Jr's voice?

Can Universal use Robert Downey Jr's voice?

People have said here that Universal can only use the comic version. Hatetofly responded with "were sure of that?" in the King Kong thread. Either that was a cryptic response or he didn't hear of that either. Maybe he can come in here and shed some light on if he's heard any info!

Pretty sure he just didn't know. But the contract wouldn't allow it. That's a fact.

Well, here's the thing. The contract would forbid using the Marvel Cinematic Universe aesthetic for the ride. Whether or not the movie Avengers would be able to voice the Avengers in the ride would be another story

Given the Harry Potter voice recast, I have to imagine that they would try to find actors that sound like the movie versions instead of paying the actual actors.

 

[mike.marty]

this may have been asked, but once the movies come out the comics often emulate the movie aesthetics, in those cases is it fair game?

RDjr costs a lot of money.

RDjr costs a lot of money.

Let's hope he shows up naked inside one of the Uni suits houses and they propose not pressing charges if he does a little voice work. :rofl:

RDjr costs a lot of money.

Which is why they won't have him in the ride, nor would they attempt to mimic his voice. It'll be a comic-inspired interpritation all the way

So is this expansion in the likelihood or is this speculation?

If it's to the quality of Spiderman's animation (the ride portion)...I'm all for it

 

[Disneyhead]

I would have to go with early conceptualization. But I do find it interesting that this rumor concerning a B&M launched coaster came out about 3 weeks before B&M announced their first launched coaster.

Definitely not mere speculation. Whether it happens or not, I dunno. I have people telling me it is, but I'm still on the fence.

It would guarantee a law suit. His likeness is tied to the MCU character, and clearly that's what they would be trying to represent. Whether Universal or Disney world win wouldn't matter. It would be a waste of time and money for both.

Cool, thanks! And if it does not happen, I hope that they'll at least use the launched flyer for something else. I hope it will combine indoor and outdoor though, begin indoor through a smoky tunnel and then launched inside a pretzel loop that takes you outside and then dives inside again.

Disney lawyers must think Universal's Marvel contract doesn't include Guardians of the Galaxy. Will be interesting to see if Universal responds.

They can't use the name "Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy" here in Florida, but they can in California.

I noticed it does not say Marvel in the article, just “Guardians of the Galaxy”. Though it is usually "Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy".

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. They only own the characters featured throughout the land. And the Marvel brand name itself, I think.
