Fantastic Four to Debut at Disney California Adventure

What's new

The Fantastic Four are making their first-ever appearance at Avengers Campus. Guests will be able to encounter Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and The Thing. The team will be accompanied by H.E.R.B.I.E., their robotic assistant.

According to Disney, the characters have "set up a mobile lab to study a cosmic anomaly alongside the Avengers." In addition to the character appearances, a new collection of *Avengers: Doomsday* merchandise will launch at the resort, including themed apparel, hats, and bags featuring Doctor Doom.

When and where

These character encounters begin November 20, 2024, at Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California. The Fantastic Four will be appearing for a limited time near the Avengers Headquarters building within Avengers Campus.

The new merchandise will be available at Disneyland Resort shops starting the same day, with additional items like the Hot Wheels Loop Challenge Track Set arriving on November 28. These offerings lead up to the theatrical release of *Avengers: Doomsday* on December 18.

What it means for your visit

If you are visiting Disney California Adventure starting in late November, you will have the opportunity to see characters that have never been featured in the park before. Because these are limited-time appearances tied to a major film release, expect higher-than-average crowds within Avengers Campus, particularly around the Avengers Headquarters area where the mobile lab is located.

To manage your time, check the Disneyland app on the day of your visit for specific appearance times, as the characters will be making "select appearances" rather than staying out all day. If you are interested in the new Doctor Doom merchandise, plan to visit the shops early in your trip, as film-specific collections at Disneyland often sell out quickly.
