The D23 Expo , which takes place this weekend in Anaheim , California , is like Comic Con for Disney fans . But it ’s more than a position to buy the late Mickey Mouse t - shirt . Disney now uses the convention to break word on their bighearted holding like Marvel , Star Wars , Pixar , and more .
So what ’s on pat this twelvemonth ? Well , a quite a little , quite frankly . The full schedule is atthis link , but here are the five thing we ’re really hoping to see at the D23 Expo .
1. More Sci-Fi in the Theme Parks
Ever since Disney purchased both Marvel and Star Wars buff have been enquire when those properties would get major addition to their theme park , peculiarly in America . Shanghai Disneyland is get under one’s skin some cool stuff and America already has Star Tours , but we want more . We desire need Disney is doing with Avatar in Orlando . Big , exciting , fresh Disney rides and areas for Marvel and Star Wars . And ever since the D23 Expo in 2013 ( they happen every two long time ) rumors have been that this D23 Expo will finally cement some of those detail .
What are the in style rumors ? That Disneyland in Anaheim will be getting a full land dedicated to Star Wars , take over the currently locating of Toontown and more . There are also rumblings its sis park , California Adventure , will be get a Marvel division . Plus , Hollywood Studios in Orlando is in all probability changing its name and both Marvel and Star Wars have been rumored to get a bigger presence there . If any of these rumors descend honest at the D23 Expo , it ’ll be the biggest news of the upshot .
2. Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
If you ’ve really been bear attention ( and if so , thank you ) when io9 verbalize with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige for Ant - Man a few weeks back , he heavily teasedthat the D23 Expo would hold some exciting things for Marvel , specially since they were n’t at San Diego Comic - Con . What could that mean ?
Well , footage from Captain America : Civil War is moderately much guaranteed . They ’ve been shooting for several week and test footage oversea . What ’s in this footage is the big interrogative sentence . Will we see Spider - Man ’s new suit or suits ? It sounds like a respectable stake . Black Panther ’s too . There ’s also a probability we ’ll hear something newfangled about Doctor Strange , which goes into production soon . The film after that , Guardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 , wo n’t be represent however . author / theatre director James Gunn confirmed that fact on Twitter .
3. Some Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but maybe Rogue One
J.J. Abrams come out and told everyone there would be no unexampled footage played at the D23 Expo , which is why Star Wars drops a fleck on the list . But even , ifa few images and quotescan gear up the world on attack when it come to Star Wars I ’d imagine they have some respectable stuff in store for the Disney lover . possibly we ’ll get the first tone at some fully CG characters like Maz Kanata ( play by Lupita Nyong’o ) or Supreme Leader Snoke ( Andy Serkis ) . With the toys being released in just a few weeks , there are still some characters that they need to reveal .
An even good bet is some news about Star Wars Anthology : Rogue One . Last year , Disney made a spate with Paramount Pictures to not promote the 2016 spinoff film until after the likewise title Mission : out of the question – Rogue Nation was out , which now it is . Rogue One is now frivol away so it seems like a good bet we ’ll get an official proclamation of the roll and maybe even a few seconds of footage .
4. Pixar’s upcoming films, maybe even Incredibles 2 or Toy Story 4
Though they ’ve been a slight overshadowed in recent month by the other Disney acquisitions , Pixar is likely to do strong to the D23 Expo . They had a massive strike in Inside Out and have a new movie coming out this November , The Good Dinosaur . sure as shooting that film will be pore as it ’s the next big Disney movie schedule for firing . ( Interesting note , at the D23 Expo 2013 , they also featured The Good Dinosaur but almost the entire movie , including the cast , has changed in that time . )
Finding Dory , the subsequence to Finding Nemo , will also belike debut its first footage . From there , thing get a bit cloudy . Pixar is confirmed to be operate on a lot of extremely forebode sequels ( The Incredibles 2 , Toy Story 4 ) and there ’s a shooter we ’ll get some news on those at the event , maybe even official titles or plot description .
5. Exciting new Disney themed video games
To be fairish , this is kind of an denotation of # 3 because Disney ’s Interactive jury at the D23 Expo will sharpen mostly two Star Wars - centric video games . There ’s Disney Infinity 3.0 , which will incorporate Star Wars characters from the prequel , sequel and original trilogy . Then there ’s Star Wars Battlefront , the EA and Dice multiplayer action biz that looks just absolutely stunning . ask new trailer , footage and info from each .
What else ? There ’s a ton , but most of it is n’t exactly io9 material . But if you got this far , you ’ll likely be interested to hear there will likely be the first footage from the unrecorded - action Beauty and the Beast , Jungle Book , Disney Legends awards giving to Danny Elfman and George Lucas , panels celebrate the day of remembrance of Toy Story and Aladdin , a reunion for The Goofy Movie and much more . Like I said above , the D23 Expo is a normal just for Disney rooter and you really do n’t know what magic the mouse has in store .
