Go on Disney’s Marvel Cruise, Pay for Ultron to Ruin Your Lunch

I assume you’re properly conscious of Disney World’s $6,000 Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser lodge/high-end LARPing expertise. If you’ve been hoping for a Marvel Cinematic Universe equal, you’ll need to accept lunch. But, if it makes you’re feeling any higher, it’s certainly going to be a particularly costly lunch, because the “Marvel cinematic dining adventure” known as Quantum Encounter will solely happen on the Disney cruiseliner Wish.

How does this sea expertise examine to residing in a lodge the place all the things appears and everybody pretends they’re a part of the Star Wars galaxy? Well, once more, that is just for a restaurant on a big ship, so ratchet down your expectations a notch. However, Disney introduced Brie Larsen, Anthony Mackie, Paul Rudd, and Evangeline Lilly might be reprising their roles in a particular video. Joining forces as Captain Marvel, Captain America, Ant-Man, and the Wasp they’ll struggle the evil Ultron (The Walking Dead’s Ross Marquand, who not solely voiced the AI in What If however performed the Red Skull in Infinity War and Endgame) throughout your meal.

Obviously, there’s no likelihood these celebrities could be keen to go on a crowded cruise for god-knows what number of days of the 12 months simply to do a dog-and-pony present for the lots, however bear with me. It was beforehand introduced that Ant-Man and the Wasp—a helmeted Ant-Man and the Wasp, I think—could be doing a presentation of Avengers ephemera and Hank Pym’s particle know-how, which can in some way permit visitors to shrink and develop issues, as seen on this early promo vid:

But once more, Rudd, Lilly, Larsen, and Mackie are undoubtedly not setting sail on the ship. So how will their video presences make issues really feel actual for the visitors? Here’s how Walt Disney Imagineering Senior Creative Director Danny Handke describes it over on the Disney Parks blog: “To bring this action-packed spectacle to life, we have specially designed the restaurant with immersive cinematic technology, including hundreds of screens and special effects embedded throughout. Filming with the actors has already wrapped and we are now working on the post-production editing and effects.”

If the Disney Imagineers say they’ll make a cruise ship eating room appear to be it’s been attacked by a military of Ultron drones, I’ve to offer them the advantage of the doubt; these guys made a useful lightsaber, in any case. I’m certain the varied screens will simulate the room’s home windows so you may always pivot your head and attempt to comply with the fisticuffs and it’ll most likely look fairly cool. I’ll even ignore the truth that in some way Ant-Man (who actually might be Paul Rudd when he’s “outside” the ship, and an actor contained in the eating room) will in some way want “even the brave diners of the Disney Wish for back-up,” as a result of I perceive some folks like interactive theater despite the fact that I don’t.

Here’s my one problem: how do you convincingly stage an Ultron assault whereas I’m consuming that doesn’t break my lunch? Will drinks get knocked over? Will laser blasts be fired? Will Ultron’s minions get into the restaurant in some way? While the dinners subsequent to me get gunned down within the prime of their lives? Or is my chair going to jostle a bit whereas a widescreen Marvel brief performs round me? Take on a regular basis it’s essential reply, Disney. I’ll by no means be capable to afford this anyway.
