I AM FRIDAY, AND ADVANCED AI ASSISTANT CREATED BY TONY STARK IN YOUR VIRTUAL EVENT FOR TONIGHT'S EVENT. GRAND OPENING CEREMONY WILL BEGIN SHORTLY. IN THE MEANTIME, MR. STARK REQUESTED THAT I LEAD YOU THROUGH A VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE CAMPUS AND INTRODUCE YOU TO SOME OF THE TEAM THAT BROUGHT IT TO LIFE. AVENGERS CAMPUS IS DEDICATED TO DISCOVERING, RECRUITING, AND TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SUPERHEROES. GUESTS WHO ARE FANS OF SUPERHEROES ARE INVITED TO TEAM UP WITH THE VENDORS AND THEIR ALLIES, TO LIVE OUT THEIR SUPERHERO ASPIRATIONS IN THIS FULLY IMMERSIVE LAND THAT MIXES INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND FUN FOR ALL AGES. LET ME SHOW YOU AROUND A BIT. INITIATING VIRTUAL TOUR OF AVENGERS CAMPUS. >> I AND MICHAEL, CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF LIVE ENTERTAINMENT, WELCOME TO AVENGERS CAMPUS. ♪ ♪ >> WHEN YOU ENTER AVENGERS CAMPUS, IT IS A WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE. YOU WILL WALK INTO A BRAND-NEW PLACE WE NEVER HAVE SEEN BEFORE. A PLACE WHERE OUR HEROES HAVE ASSEMBLED TOGETHER FOR US. >> I AM SCOTT DRAKE, CREATIVE EXECUTIVE FOR THE MARVEL EVENT FOR FOLIO. THEY ALLOW US TO HAVE A DIVERSE TAPESTRY OF CHARACTERS BROUGHT TO LIFE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER YOU GET TO ENGAGE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE STORIES. >> EVERY ATTRACTION HERE AT THE CAMPUS IS TELLING STORIES OF FAMILIAR CHARACTERS BUT BRAND- NEW STORIES WE HAVE NOT BEEN A PART OF BEFORE. >> WHETHER IT IS THE LOCAL HEROES, COSMIC HEROES, OR GLOBAL HEROES, WE DIVIDED THE LAND INTO THESE MACRO THEMES. WE HAVE PORTALS AND GATEWAYS AND DOORWAYS THAT LITERALLY OPEN FOR AMAZING, EXTRA NEAR HEROES TO WALK THROUGH ON THE OTHER SIDE. >> WE WILL ALSO TRAIN ALONGSIDE THEM AND SEE THEM DO COOL THINGS WE HAVE NOT SEEN THEM DO IN PERSON. I AM DAN FIELDS, EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR FOR LIVE ENTERTAINMENT. HIGH ABOVE THE LAND IS THE CITADEL OF THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY MISSION BREAKOUT, A FAN FAVORITE THAT OPENED IN DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK IN 2017. THE COLLECT ARE HEARD THROUGH THE COSMIC GRAPEVINE THAT EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES WERE CREATING A NEW CAMPUS WHERE THEY AND THEIR UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY WOULD BE GATHERED. SO HE BROUGHT HIS FORTRESS TO THE AVENGERS CAMPUS AND YOU CAN SEE HOW IT HAS INTERRUPTED THE GROUND AROUND HIM. YOU WILL ALSO NOT WANT TO MISS GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, AWESOME DANCE OFF. WE KNEW THAT THERE COULD BE A TRANSLATION INTO THE REAL WORLD AND FINALLY THE BEGINNING OF THAT STARTS WITH AVENGERS CAMPUS. >> AT WALT DISNEY IMAGINEERING WE CREATE PLACES, PLACES WITH EXPERIENCES THAT BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND CREATE MEMORIES. EVERY DETAIL AND WHY IT IS THERE, WHY IT MATTERS, THE LARGER STORY, ALL OF US THAT WORKED ON IT ARE EXCITED TO WELCOME YOU ALL HERE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF. >> WORLDWIDE ENGINEERING BRIGADE, ALSO KNOWN AS WEB. >> I AM BRENT STRONG, EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR AT IMAGINEERING AND WE ARE HERE TODAY AT AVENGERS CAMPUS AT THE WORLDWIDE ENGINEERING BRIGADE. OR WEB FOR SHORT. THIS IS A BRAND NEW SPIDER-MAN ADVENTURE UNLIKE ANY THE GUESTS HAVE SEEN BEFORE AND ONE THAT THEY CAN ANTICIPATE AND. WHEN YOU COME INTO WEB SLINGERS, A SPIDERMAN ADVENTURE, YOU CAN SLING WEBS LIKE SPIDER-MAN AND GO WITH HIM ON A MISSION. WE ARE HERE IN THE LOBBY OF THE WORLDWIDE ENGINEERING BRIGADE WHERE YOUNG INVENTORS LIKE PETER PARKER, HARLEY KINNEAR, AND OTHERS, HAVE COME TOGETHER TO BUILD A BRAND-NEW WEBS LINGER VEHICLE. THE TECHNOLOGY WILL ALLOW US TO SWING WEBS JUST LIKE SPIDER-MAN. IN FRONT OF US HERE YOU SEE ALL THE WORK WRENCHES THAT HAVE BEEN SET UP. IT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF PETER'S PET PROJECTS, THE SPIDER-BOT IS BEING TESTED OUT. IT IS THE ULTRA ROBOTIC SIDEKICK AND HE ADDED A BRAND- NEW FEATURE THAT IS NOT WELL TESTED. WHERE THE SPIDER-BOT CAN REPLICATE. IF THERE ARE TOO MANY SPIDER- BOTS THEN SPIDER-MAN NEEDS OUR HELP. HE WILL ASK US TO GET ON THAT WEBS LINGER VEHICLE AND NOT JUST SLING WEBS FOR TARGET PRACTICE BUT TO SAVE THE CAMPUS. AS WE HEAD DOWN TO THE ASSEMBLY LINE THIS IS WHERE WE WILL PICK UP OUR 3-D GLASSES, WEB VISION GLASSES. THE GLASSES LET US INTERFACE WITH THUS LINGER AND IDENTIFY ALL OF THE SPIDER-BOTS THAT WE NEED TO CAPTURE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SELF REPLICATING FEATURE THAT PETER PARKER ADDED HAS GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL AND WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A SPIDER-BOT INVESTIGATION. THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE, WE NEED TO GET IN THE VEHICLE AND STOPPED THEM AS THEY RAGE ACROSS THE CAMPUS. SO WE ARE ON THE WEBS LINGER VEHICLE. WE HAVE OUR MISSION FROM SPIDER- MAN AND I GUESS I AM READY TO SLING SOME WEBS AND STOP THOSE SPIDER-BOT. WE NEED TO FIND THEM BEFORE THEY GET OUT. >> ALL RIGHT. NEXT TIME MAYBE THOSE SPIDER- BOTS WILL NOT GET LOOSE AND WE CAN FOCUS ON OUR HIM INSTEAD OF SAVING THE CAMPUS BUT I THINK WE DID IT. I THINK WE ARE AVENGERS NOW. >> SENSOR DATA INDICATES THAT RECRUITS VISITING THE CAMPUS SHOULD KEEP THEIR EYES ON THE TOP OF THE FORTRESS OF THE COLLECTOR FACILITY. >> WHEN YOU ENTER AVENGERS CAMPUS, IT IS A WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE. WE WANTED THINGS TO FEEL SPONTANEOUS, SPIDER-MAN STARTS FLYING, BAD GUYS SHOW UP, WE CANNOT PLAN FOR THEM. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HERO YOU WILL MEET AROUND THE CORNER OR WHAT BAD GUYS WILL COME IN AND WRECK HAVOC. IT IS EXCITING TO TURN EACH QUARTER AND SEE WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS THE BUILDING OF THE WORLDWIDE ENGINEERING BRIGADE. HERE YOU GET TO SEE AMAZING THINGS. WE WILL SEE SPIDER-MAN AND AWAY WE HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE. OBVIOUSLY WE WILL GET TO MEET SPIDER-MAN LIKE WE WANT TO BUT WE CAN ALSO SEE HIM CLIMB UP A WALL, BE ON TOP OF A BUILDING, JUMP OFF A BUILDING AND SORE 85 FEET IN THE AIR. >> TRANSFERRING SIGNAL NOW TO THE WEB SUPPLIER STORE. >> I AM A CREATIVE DIRECTOR AT WALT DISNEY IMAGINEERING. TODAY WE ARE AT W.E.B. SUPPLIERS, WHERE THE BRIGADE IS ABLE TO SHOWCASE SOME OF THEIR LATEST TECHNOLOGY AND INVENTIONS. HERE THEY CAN GEAR UP AND TRAIN FOR THEIR NEXT BIG ADVENTURE ON AVENGERS CAMPUS AND BEYOND. THE W.E.B. IS A TEAM OF YOUNG GENIUSES INSPIRED BY THE SUPERHEROES AND THEY REVERSE ENGINEER TECHNOLOGY TO EMPOWER EVERYDAY PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU AND ME. HERE AT THE OPEN HOUSE YOU MAY HAVE MET PETER PARKER, AND BEEN INTRODUCED TO ONE OF HIS NEWEST INVENTIONS, WHICH IS THE SPIDER- BOT. BUT HERE AT W.E.B. SUPPLIERS YOU CAN FIND YOUR OWN SPIDER-BOT AND UPGRADES THAT YOU CAN PLAY AND TRAIN WITH. IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO CREATE EXCLUSIVE CAMPUS FOR THE AVENGERS CAMPUS AND IT IS ALL FROM THE VOICE OF THE KIDS THAT W.E.B., COMPLETELY IN STORY. WHAT PRODUCT WOULD W.E.B. WANT? WHAT WOULD THEY CREATE? YOU SEE IT IN THE T-SHIRTS, HATS AND PINS, WE HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TAKE ON IT. THE EXCITING THING ABOUT WORKING AT WALT DISNEY IMAGINEERING, EVERY PROJECT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I HAVE LOVED WORKING ON AVENGERS CAMPUS BECAUSE IT IS SUCH AN ASPIRATIONAL STORY. AND SO THE IDEA IS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR GUESTS FEEL EMPOWERED TO BE LIKE SUPERHEROES AND NOT JUST FANS OF THE SUPERHEROES. >> MR. STARK HOPES YOU ARE ENJOYING THE VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE AVENGERS CAMPUS. THE GRAND OPENING CEREMONY WILL BEGIN IN A FEW MINUTES. THE NEXT DESTINATION FOR HUNGRY RECRUITS IS PYM TEST KITCHEN. >> HELLO. JOHN STATE, CULINARY DIRECTOR AT DISNEYLAND RESORT AND WE ARE HERE LIVE AT PYM TEST KITCHEN. WHAT KINDS OF FOOD DO GUESTS REALLY LOVE? WHAT KINDS OF THINGS CAN WE GROW AND SHRINK? WHAT KIND OF EXPERIMENTS CAN WE OFFER THAT WILL BE RELEVANT AND FAMILIAR? IT ALL STARTED WITH THE ICONIC FOOD OFFERING, THE PRETZEL. IF THIS WILL BE THE ONE THING THAT GUESTS SEE FIRST COMING OUT OF THE QUANTUM TUNNEL, HOW DO YOU TURN INTO A STORY OF SHRINKING AND GROWING? WELL, YOU JUST HAD TO EMBRACE THE IDEA THAT IT WAS A PRETZEL EXPERIENCE. WE HAVE THE 453 GRAHAM BAVARIAN STYLE PRETZEL, THE WARM BEER CHEESE SAUCE AND YELLOW MUSTARD. WE DID NOT HAVE TO OVERTHINK IT. WE HAVE ALSO THE NOT SO LITTLE CHICKEN SANDWICH, A CRISPY CHICKEN WITH TWO DIFFERENT SAUCES. THIS ONE TOOK THE MOST TIME TO GET RIGHT. WE FINALLY GOT THE CHICKEN TO GROW TO JUST THE RIGHT SIZE AND THE BUN TO SHRINK TO THE RIGHT SIZE. AND THEN OF COURSE NOTICE THE TINY FORK WITH A MEATBALL THAT HAS GROWN AND SHRUNK WITH CLASSIC MARINARA SAUCE, TWO DIFFERENT PASTAS. EXPERIMENT NO. EE45: IMPOSSIBLE SPOONFUL. ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I FELT WAS NEEDED FOR THIS EXPERIENCE WAS I WANTED THE GUESTS AND RECRUITS TO SEE THE LABORATORY WORKING. I WANTED THEM TO SEE THE SCIENTISTS. I WANTED THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY HAD VISIBILIY TO KNOW, WHAT IS GOING ON BACK THERE? YOU KNOW AFTER THE BATTLE OF NEW YORK, THE AVENGERS FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS NEW THING CALLED SHAWARMA. THEY LOVED IT SO MUCH THAT THEY INVITED CREW DOWN TO THE AVENGERS CAMPUS TO OPEN A SHOP HERE. NOT ONLY DID THEY OPEN UP ONE BUT THEY OPENED UP TWO. AND THERE IS CHICKEN SHAWARMA, WHAT THEY ARE KNOWN FOR. IT IS NEW YORK'S TASTIEST. THIS IS THE ONE THAT I THINK KEPT US UP AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE EXPECTATION. RIGHT? IT WAS IN THE MOVIE AND PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT IT. WHAT WE ANTICIPATE AND HOPE TO SEE FROM THE RECRUITS WHEN THEY JOIN US IS THE AMAZED LOOK ON THEIR FACE, THE BIG SMILE, SAYING TO THEMSELVES LIKE NO WAY, NO WAY, THEY DID IT. WITH THEY DID HERE. EXACTLY LIKE WHAT WE WOULD HAVE SEEN THROUGH HANK PYM'S EYES. WHEN THEY TRIED THE FOOD THEY WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH IT EVEN MORE. >> NOW ENTERING THE ANCIENT SANCTUM, THE DOMAIN OF DR. STRANGE. >> HERE WE ARE, ONE OF THE COOLEST PARTS OF THE LAND TO ME. HERE DOCTOR STRANGE WILL ENTER A PORTAL FROM NEW YORK AND THE WHOLE AREA WILL TURN MYSTICAL AND CRAZY. YOU WILL SEE THINGS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN A DISNEY PARK IN THIS EXPERIENCE. >> I AM HEIDI, THE ART DIRECTOR FOR THE THEME FINISHES HERE AT AVENGERS CAMPUS. EVERYTHING YOUR EYES WILL SEE WITHIN THE LAND, COLOR, TEXTURE, LIGHT, THE HARDEST CHALLENGE FOR ME WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I AM GOING TO INCORPORATE ALL OF THE LOOKS THAT MIGHT COME INSIDE THE FILM WORLD INTO THE PARK. THE THING I LOVE ABOUT THE ANCIENT SANCTUM IS THE FACT THAT WE ARE CHALLENGED WITH GIVING YOU THE IDEA OF MYSTICISM IN A STATIC WORLD WHERE OUR GUESTS CAN WALK 360 ALL AROUND. WE GET SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE SO MANY DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES HERE. WE HAVE GOT OLD RUINED PLASTER, BEAUTIFUL ANCIENT BRONZE, WE HAVE GOT THE EFFECTS OF LIGHT, WE HAVE GOT BEAUTIFUL NIGHTTIME LIGHTING WITH A LOT OF COLOR IN IT. WE REALLY HAVE GOT A GREAT COMBINATION OF ANCIENT VERSED -- VERSUS MODERN HAPPENING HERE. THIS IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN TERMS OF REPRESENTING SO MANY DIFFERENT AESTHETICS ALL IN ONE PLACE. THAT IS NOT JUST GIVING YOU A CARBON COPY OF WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE FILM BUT IT EXPANDS UPON IT AND MAKES IT FIND ITS WAY INTO OUR HOME HERE. >> THIS ANCIENT SANCTUM IS ONE WE HAVE NOT SEEN IN ANY STORY BEFORE. THIS WHOLE AREA FEELS A LOT OF STICKEL ENERGY AND DOCTOR STRANGE WILL BE HERE TO HELP US ON TAP THOSE THINGS AND FIND WHAT TYPE OF MYSTICAL POWERS AND ENERGIES WE MIGHT HAVE AS RECRUITS. I AM IN THE HEART OF THE CAMPUS RIGHT NEAR AND BEHIND ME WE HAVE THE ANCIENT SANCTUM. IN THIS AREA YOU WILL SEE ANT- MAN AND WASP, BLACK PANTHER, BLACK WIDOW, CAPTAIN AMERICA, ALL OF OUR FAVORITE HEROES HANGOUT IN THE CENTER OF THE CAMPUS. AND WE WILL MEET FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN OUR PARKS -- AS WELL IS DORA MILAJE. THEY WILL TAKE US THROUGH A SPECIAL TRAINING SESSION. A TALENTED PERSON TO HELP BRING THIS TO LIFE. WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS EXPENSE? >> IN THIS EXPERIENCE IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO US THAT IT WAS AUTHENTIC AND A FEELING OF HUMAN TO HUMAN CONNECTION. THAT THESE, WHO FEEL LARGER THAN LIFE, AND BEING A HERO LIKE THEM IS ACHIEVABLE. THERE ARE TRADITIONS AND VALUES THAT THEY UPHOLD AND IF WE CAN MAYBE INCORPORATE THOSE INTO OUR OWN LIVES THAT WE TOO CAN BE HEROES. IT CAN BE DIFFERENT FOR EACH ITERATION OF THE GUESTS. WE ASK QUESTIONS AND GIVE THEM SPACE TO RESPOND AUTHENTICALLY. THERE ARE THESE INTERACTIONS WITH OUR GUSTS -- GUESTS THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS ERNEST AND IN THE MOMENT. WHAT WE ARE DOING IS ORIENTING A NEW GENERATION OF WARRIOR ALLIES. SO IF THE TIME COMES THAT THEY NEED OUR SUPPORT AND WE ARE THERE AND CAN ANSWER THE CALL TO ACTION. REALLY THINKING ABOUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN ALLY? CENTERING THE AUDIENCE INTERACTION, THE HUMAN TO HUMAN CONNECTION, AND MAKING THIS REALLY SPECIAL EXPERIENCE. FOR ALL OF OUR GUESTS. >> TIMECODE INDICATES THE GRAND OPENING OF AVENGERS CAMPUS IS ONLY MOMENTS AWAY. AS WE CONCLUDE THIS VIRTUAL TOUR, PLEASE NOTE THAT AVENGERS HEADQUARTERS IS LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE CAMPUS. >> WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE AVENGERS CAMPUS FOR A LONG TIME, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE COULD REALLY DELIVER WHAT WE SEE IN THE FILMS. >> YEARS BEFORE ANY OF US IMAGINE YOURS WALKED INTO THE LAND, WE HAD STUDY MODELS, 3-D MODELS, VIRTUAL MODELS, WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THESE SPACES AND LOOKING AT ALL THE ICONIC VIEWS AND MAKING SURE THAT FROM WHATEVER ENTRANCE HE WALKED INTO THE LAND YOU HAD AN ICONIC SHOT OF THE -- LOOMING OVER, AS A VISUAL ANCHOR FOR ALL OF US TO BE INSPIRED BY. >> ON THE SECOND AND THIRD LEVELS YOU WILL SEE BLACK WIDOW AND BLACK PANTHER FIGHT AGAINST SOME OF THE COOLEST VILLAINS YOU WILL EVER SEE AND WE WILL SEE HEROES WALKING AROUND THE LOWER LEVEL. IT IS HERO CENTRAL. >> IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO DELIVER RELATABLE CHARACTERS. YOU MAY SEE THEM FLY OVERHEAD OR WALKING RIGHT PAST YOU. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN HERE AT AVENGERS CAMPUS. THIS IS THE PRODUCT OF AN EXTRAORDINARY COLLABORATION THAT LEVERAGES OVERARCHING THEMES LIKE HEROISM, AND BECOMING SOMETHING MORE. AND THIS ALLOWS US TO STEP RIGHT INTO THE ACTION THAT WE HAVE SEEN UNFOLD ON THE PAGES OF THE COMICS OR THROUGH DOZENS OF FILMS. NOW IT IS TIME FOR US TO BE PART OF A STORY AMONGST ALL OF THESE GIANTS. >> ONE PIECE THAT I AM ESPECIALLY EXCITED AND EMOTIONAL ABOUT IS THE CAPTAIN MARVEL FIVE, RIGHT OVER THERE. -- QUINJET, IT IS SOMETHING THAT I CARRIED IN THE FILM, "ENDGAME" AND NOW YOU CAN SEE IT UP CLOSE IN A WAY THAT I DID WHEN WE MADE THE FILM. >> WE COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD TO WELCOME YOU INTO WHERE WE HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS. >> I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE VIRTUAL TOUR OF AVENGERS CAMPUS. AN ENTIRELY NEW LAND DEDICATED TO DISCOVERING, RECRUITING, AND TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SUPERHEROES. MR. STARK AND THE AVENGERS HOPE TO SEE YOU IN PERSON VERY SOON. >>> HOWARD STARK HERE, CEO OF STARK INDUSTRIES. I AM VERY SORRY I COULD NOT BE THERE SO I AM SENDING THIS MESSAGE ALONG. ♪ >> TO ME, IT IS A DREAM. A DREAM THAT CAN MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE. >> JUST BECOME SOMETHING WORKS DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT CANNOT BE IMPROVED. ♪ ♪ >> I AM HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE AVENGER INITIATIVE. ♪ ♪ >> THERE WAS AN IDEA, TO BRING TOGETHER A GROUP OF REMARKABLE PEOPLE. TO SEE IF THEY COULD BECOME SOMETHING MORE. TO SEE IF THEY COULD WORK TOGETHER WHEN WE NEEDED THEM TO. TO FIGHT THE BATTLES THAT WE NEVER COULD. >> HOW DO WE DO THIS? >> TOGETHER. >> IF YOU STEP OUT THAT DOOR, YOU ARE AN AVENGER. >> I WOULD LIKE TO PERSONALLY INTRODUCE YOU TO THE FUTURE. ♪ ♪ >>> GREETINGS EVERYONE. I AM FRIDAY, AND ADVANCED AI ASSISTANT CREATED BY TONY STARK. IT IS MY DUTY TO INITIATE THE OFFICIAL OPENING OF AVENGERS CAMPUS HERE IN DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK.

JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO WE REOPENED THE DISNEYLAND RESORT AND TONIGHT I AND DELIGHTED TO BE HERE FOR THE OPENING OF AVENGERS CAMPUS. >> AS YOU KNOW THE AVENGERS' MISSION IS TO PROTECT THE WORLD AND IT IS OUR HOPE THAT THIS LAND WILL INSPIRE YOUNG AND OLD TO INSPIRE A BETTER PLACE. SO TONIGHT LET'S GET READY TO OPEN AVENGERS CAMPUS. OF COURSE WE HAVE ASSEMBLED SOME INCREDIBLE GUESTS TO HELP US DO JUST THAT. FRST, PLEASE WELCOME THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER TO THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY, BOB --. ♪ >> GOOD EVENING, THANKS JOSH. WELCOME TO THIS SPECTACULAR EVENT. AS JOSH MENTIONED, TONIGHT IS YET ANOTHER BIG MILESTONE. IN THE REOPENING OF DISNEYLAND RESORT. WE ARE THRILLED TO BE LAUNCHING THIS EXCITING AND NEW LAND, AS WE PREPARE TO WELCOME OUR GUESTS HERE TO AVENGERS CAMPUS AT DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK. AS YOU WILL SOON DISCOVER THIS LAND IS INCREDIBLE. IMAGINATIVE. AND TRULY IMMERSIVE. IF YOU HAVE EVER DREAMED OF BEING A SUPERHERO, AND WHO OF US HASN'T? THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. THANKS TO BOB, SCOTT, JOHN, AND ALL OF OUR EXTRAORDINARY IMAGINE YOURS WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE. THEY HAVE ONCE AGAIN OUTDONE THEMSELVES. >> HAVING BEEN A PART OF THE PROJECT'S DEVELOPMENT SINCE DAY ONE, I HAVE WITNESSED THEIR INGENUITY AND CREATIVITY FIRSTHAND. AND THEY PUSHED THE BOUNDARIES OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE. I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO CONGRATULATE THEM ALONG WITH JOSH, KEN, PATRICK, AND OUR EXCEPTIONAL PARKS TEAM HERE AT DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK ALL OF THE AMAZINGLY TALENTED INDIVIDUALS WHO HELPED TO CREATE WHAT IS THE FIRST AVENGERS THEMED LAND ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. YOU KNOW A BIG PART OF THE MAGIC OF DISNEY IS OUR ABILITY TO TAKE THE ONE-OF-A-KIND STORIES AND CHARACTERS THAT WE CREATE AND BRING THEM TO LIFE. ALLOWING FANS NOT ONLY TO WATCH "THE AVENGERS" UNFOLD ON SCREEN BUT ALSO EXPANDS THE ACTION FOR THEMSELVES ALONGSIDE THEIR FAVORITE CHARACTERS. NOW, TWO YEARS AGO WE OPENED ONE OF OUR MOST SPECTACULAR LANDS, GALAXIES EDGE, BELOVED BY "STAR WARS" FANS AROUND THE WORLD. TODAY WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR UNIVERSE WITH AVENGERS CAMPUS. THE ACTION-PACKED DESTINATION PROMISES TO APPEAL TO THE SUPERHERO IN ALL OF US. HERE YOU WILL COME FACE-TO-FACE WITH THOR, BLACK WIDOW, AND BLACK PANTHER. SLING WEBS WITH SPIDER-MAN, TRAIN WITH DORA MILAJE, EXPLORE THE MYSTERIES OF THE MULTI-VERSE WITH DOCTOR STRANGE AND BATTLE EVIL WITH GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. NOW IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH YEAR FOR EVERYONE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. THAT WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO SPENDING TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND DOING THINGS WE ENJOY AND HAVING FUN. AVENGERS CAMPUS IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO DO THAT AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR ALL OF YOU TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE ALL THAT IT HAS TO OFFER. AND HERE TO SHARE THIS MOMENT WITH US IS THE CREATIVE MASTERMIND WHO BROUGHT TO LIFE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE OF SUPERHEROES, TAKING THE ART OF STORYTELLING AND INVENTOR TO A LEVEL THAT IS TRULY OUT OF THIS WORLD. PLEASE HELP ME WELCOME KEVIN FEIGE. ♪ ♪ >> THANK YOU BOB. HELLO EVERYONE. THIS IS, THIS IS AWESOME. HOLY MACKEREL. I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED TO BE HERE TO HELP OFFICIALLY OPEN AVENGERS CAMPUS. ANYBODY WHO HAS SPENT ANY AMOUNT OF TIME WITH ME KNOWS I AM A HUGE, GIGANTIC, COLOSSAL FAN OF ALL THE DISNEY PARKS, VISITING THE PARKS IS WHAT I DID WHEN I WAS A KID. IT IS WHAT I DO AS AN ADULT NOW WITH MY PARENTS AND WITH MY CHILDREN. THAT IS WHAT FAMILY TIME IS ALL ABOUT FOR ME. SO AS A FAN I LOOK AROUND TONIGHT AND I AM PINCHING MYSELF. OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF WE HAVE WALKED TO THIS CAMPUS MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WAS ALWAYS A WORK IN PROGRESS CONSTRUCTION SITE, AS A FANTA SCHOOL TO BE A PART OF. WHICH IS LIKE OUR MOVIES OR ANY SHOWS, IT IS MEANINGLESS UNLESS AN AUDIENCE SEES IT. THE CAMPUS DOES NOT TRULY COME ALIVE UNTIL THE GUESTS ARE INVITED INSIDE. I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE WHAT WE HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU. FOR ONE THING, THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD THAT YOU CAN SEE A FULL QUINJET WITHOUT THE HELP OF ANY VISUAL EFFECTS WHATSOEVER. FOR OUR FILMS AND SHOWS WE BUILD ELABORATE SETS BUT THEY ARE TEMPORARY. THEY ONLY EXIST ON SCREEN. BUT HERE AT A DISNEY THEME PARK HOURS HATS CAN BE PERMANENT. NOW AT AVENGERS CAMPUS ALL OF OUR FANS CAN WALK AROUND AND EXPERIENCE THESE PLACES, ENGAGE WITH THE CHARACTERS, AND BE A PART OF THE CHARACTERS IN REAL LIFE. WHAT IS EXCITING TO ME IS THAT AVENGERS CAMPUS WILL NEVER BE COMPLETED, IT IS A LIVING AND BREATHING SPACE THAT WILL GROW AND EVOLVE AS OUR CINEMATIC UNIVERSE GROWS AND EVOLVES WITH NEW PROPS AND NEW CHARACTERS ASSEMBLING HERE AT AVENGERS HQ. YOU CAN LITERALLY WATCH A SHOW ON DISNEY+, PERHAPS THE NEXT TIME YOU COME TO AVENGERS CAMPUS YOU WILL SEE SOMETHING FROM THAT SHOW RIGHT HERE IN DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK IN ANAHEIM. OUR DESIGNERS AND PRODUCTION STAFF HAS WORKED WITH THE PARKS TEAM TO CREATE SO MUCH OF WHAT YOU SEE HERE TONIGHT. THE TEAMS HAVE THOUGHT THROUGH EVERY LITTLE DETAIL. WHEN I SAY EVERY LITTLE DETAIL, YES, YOU CAN GO GET SOME SHAWARMA ON ONE OF THE TWO CARTS HERE ON AVENGERS CAMPUS. WHICH IS SURREAL HAVING SHOT THAT TAG FOR "AVENGERS 1" THAT WE COULD BE HERE AND WE COULD ENJOY SHAWARMA WITH GUESTS. WE FEEL A HUGE RESPONSE ABILITY TO BE STEWARDS OF THESE CHARACTERS AND I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS ALL SPRINGS FROM THE LEGACY OF THE STORYTELLERS THAT CAME BEFORE US. THE GREAT WRITERS AND STORYTELLERS OF THE COMIC SPOCK. -- THE COMICS. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE AND FORGIVING THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS A PERMANENT RESIDENCE HERE AT A DISNEY PARK. AND I WILL MOST LIKELY NEED TO BE ESCORTED OUT AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, SO I DO NOT STAY FOREVER. NOW IT IS MY PLEASURE TO TURN THIS OVER TO A MAN WHO PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN "AVENGERS: ENDGAME" AND A MAN WHO WILL SOON BE GETTING READY TO FILM "ANTMAN AND THE WASP," LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PAUL RUDD! ♪ >> HELLO! WOW! THIS IS GREAT. IT IS SO GREAT TO SEE EVERYONE BUDDY. IT IS PHENOMENAL TO BE HERE IN PERSON. I LOVED BEING IN HONG KONG IN 2019, 20 BEEN ANT-MAN AND THE WASP, NANO BATTLE. BUT THIS IS A WHOLE NEW BALL OF WAX, THIS IS AN ENTIRE CAMPUS. THE AVENGERS CAMPUS. AND I AM A LITTLE BIASED, BUT IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, I THINK THE BEST PART IS THE PYM TEST KITCHEN. THEY REALLY KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT OVER THERE. YOU DO A WONDERFUL JOB. THEY PROBABLY DON'T KNOW THIS, BUT ORIGINALLY I HAD SUGGESTED IT BE CALLED THE LAYING TEST KITCHEN. BUT I GUESS THE EMAILS NEVER WENT THROUGH. THEY PAST. NO BIG DEAL. WE ARE A TEAM. IT IS THEIR LOSS. NO BIG DEAL. THE FOOD IS GREAT. I CALLED A COUPLE FRIENDS THOUGH, WHO COULD NOT BE HERE TONIGHT. THEY WANTED TO BUT COULD NOT. HOWEVER, THEY DID SEND ALONG SOME SPECIAL GREETINGS FOR THE OCCASION. >> CONGRATULATIONS DISNEY. FOR THE OPENING OF THE AVENGERS CAMPUS. AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK ALL THE HEROES THAT TOOK PART IN BRINGING ALL OF THIS TO LIFE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO GIVE US EXPERIENCES THAT WE NEVER FORGET. THANK YOU. >> BIG CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS AMAZING MOUSEDOWN. WOW! I CANNOT WAIT TO VISIT AVENGERS CAMPUS. >> K, IT IS MARK RUFFALO, I AM SO EXCITED THAT THE AVENGERS CAMPUS IS OPENING AND CANNOT WAIT TO CHECK IT OUT. >> TO THE HEROES THAT CREATED THE AVENGERS CAMPUS, THANK YOU. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE LOOK ON THE FANS FACES WHEN THEY GET TO MEET DORA MILAJE IN REAL LIFE. >> GREETINGS FROM PAUL BETTANY, AND CONGRATULATIONS ON OPENING OF YOUR AVENGERS CAMPUS. I HAVE BEEN READING ON THE BLOGS AND I KNOW EVERYTHING IN THIS AMAZING NEW LAND DEDICATED TO ALL THINGS AVENGERS. >> EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BLOW YOUR MIND.

SAVE ME A CHICKEN SANDWICH. I AM JOHN FAVREAU, DIRECTOR OF "IRON MAN" AND ALSO IF YOU ARE UNDER 10 YEARS OLD, HAPPY HOGAN. IT IS AN HONOR TO BE WITH YOU THIS EVENING. WHEN WE MADE THE FIRST "IRON MAN" FILM IN 2008, WE HAD NO IDEA HOW IT WOULD BE RECEIVED BY THE FANS. BUT IT IGNITED THE IMAGINATION OF FANS AROUND THE WORLD AND IN THE YEARS SINCE SUPERHEROES HAVE CONTINUED TO EXPAND OUR UNIVERSE OF STORYTELLING. TONIGHT AVENGERS CAMPUS LITERALLY BRINGS THESE STORIES TO YOU, TO BEGIN YOUR OWN SUPERHERO STORY. AND YOU GUYS ARE HERE BEFORE IT EVEN OPENS, SO YOU CAN TELL EVERYBODY YOU WERE HERE FIRST AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL.

ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATION YOU ARE ONLY 30 SECONDS LATE. >> THERE HE IS. >> OUR HEROES HAVE ASSEMBLED. THEY ARE READY FOR ACTION. >> HOLD ON. HOLD ON. SOMETIMES THE CASE, THERE IS ONE MORE THING. IT IS TRULY INCREDIBLE TO SEE THIS MANY SUPERHEROES TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE, BUT IT DOES FEEL LIKE SOMEBODY IS MISSING. I THINK I KNOW WHO CAN HELP US. FORTUNATELY HE IS HERE, FROM "FALCON AND WINTER SOLDIER" THE REAL CAPTAIN AMERICA, ANTHONY MACKIE. ♪ >> HEY, THANKS EVERYBODY. IT IS WONDERFUL TO BE HERE. WHAT A RIDE IT HAS BEEN. I HAVE LOVED BEING A PART OF THESE MOVIES AND NOW WITH DISNEY+, THE SERIES. IT WAS AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT FOR ME IN THE FILM, AND EMOTIONAL MOMENT FOR ME TO BE IN THESE FILMS AND WHEN SAM WILSON FINALLY BECAME CAPTAIN AMERICA, IT WAS A MOMENT THAT WAS ALL ABOUT THE FUTURE. A MOMENT WHERE KIDS OF ALL RACES CAN LOOK AT CAPTAIN AMERICA AND MAYBE SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THEMSELVES. I AM SO PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS CINEMATIC UNIVERSE. AND NOW A PART OF ALL OF THIS.
