Evolving Stories Inspired by the MCU’s Phases
While the MCU is not the universe within the Disney theme parks—let’s call it the MCTPU, adding “theme parks” in there—it does give Imagineering some leeway with the characters within their multiverse. That could mean seeing both Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson’s versions of Captain America, or the storylines on the rides not having continuity with the MCU (Iron Man Tony Stark is still alive, for example). The park creators have the ability to ask Marvel Studios how far they can stretch their reality. “They say, ‘That sounds great. Can you do something 10 times bigger?’ And it’s really exciting to work with partners that way, that want this to be alive,” Serna shared.
