    Whatever will we do without getting yelled at every hour by the entertainment hosts. Are they going to chop some of those positions too? Lot of wages expended on the way campus was never designed with shows in mind

    Indeed, the "Multiverse Saga" is coming to an end. Look for a new, combined, sacred-timeline-ish one universe to come into existence re-setting / re-booting a good portion of the MCU characters so far incorporating all the characters Feige wants to keep and jettisoning the rest. Until a new multiverse appears....

    The new FF does not occur in 616 universe but an alternate one. I’m guessing that the FF’s arrival in the main universe won’t happen until the end credits or perhaps the next Avengers Movie.

    I'd heard this rumored a while ago, so not surprised, but sad to see it go. It's a really great stunt show. What's worse though is losing the holiday Hawkeye stunt show, which was SO much fun. This leaves only Warriors of Wakanda and the Guardians dance off still hanging on. :( That said, considering all the hero characters in the current Avengers Assemble show are technically dead or no longer fighting, and Taskmaster will get a new storyline soon in Thunderbolts, it was time for this show to get a rethink. Sadly, I expect the construction may keep a new show from arriving until the expansion is built. So the characters are going to have to do the heavy lifting for the life of the land for now. They do a lot of informal games like charades or quests and challenges with guests that I'd expect will become more commonplace now. Along with continuing the character 'moments' as mini-show experiences like they've done recently with Sam assembling the Avengers for a quick photo op as the Brave New World promotion. They've already announced that the Fantastic 4 will not be meeting on Campus, but instead in Tomorrowland. I wonder if they want to do some kind of show moment there that they now can't on Campus or if it's just to see how the characters work there in case the movie is a hit and allows some Tomorrowland updates as a result. If I was optimistic about Disney's investment into the parks, I'd say this would be the perfect time to bring a stunt show over to Galaxy's Edge to pick up the entertainment slack. If I was optimistic.

    Though so. Hopefully we see part of the structure go vertical this year.

    Access for construction. Safe access for the workers inside the store, and or to still allow some characters up top. But might not have the storage and access needed for the full stunt show and team.

    The trolley barn is outright getting torn down. So what I assume you mean by adjusting the access points is for the construction workers.

    Disney Analyst20 hours ago

    This is my assumption, as the construction site should (very soon) be directly behind that building, and I assume there will not be the same access to get up to the roof as before. This is probably why they haven't torn down the Trolley Barn quite yet, need to end this show and adjust access to that existing structure, before starting heavy demo back behind it. Or it's an excuse to cut more entertainment...

    If so, I would assume a new improved show will debut after construction is finished.

    Is there any chance that the show is closing because it would be impacted by construction of the new E-Ticket? I know it's probably just "entertainment cuts" but wonder how much impact the construction will have on the already existing Avengers Campus?

    TrainsOfDisney22 hours ago

    Correct. But that’s kind of what the CM’s should have expected. Disney is under no obligation to employ entertainers. I’m not taking Disneys side - they’ve already cut entertainment anyways which is bad - but the equity deal is bad news for everyone it looks like.

    Moth22 hours ago

    All I see is Disney retaliating against a union under the guise of "budget cuts".

    TrainsOfDisney22 hours ago

    So how’s that new equity negotiation working out for the CM’s? Be careful what you fight for.

    According to Brady MacDonald, the Avengers Assemble! stunt show will have its final performance on April 5 - here's the update: Black Widow, Captain America and Black Panther will no longer battle Taskmaster near the docked Quinjet in Avengers Campus as the rooftop stunt show joins the growing list of canceled entertainment in the Marvel themed land at Disney California Adventure. The final performance of “Avengers Assemble” will be held on April 5 as the expansion of Avengers Campus begins at Disney California Adventure, according to Disneyland officials. Disneyland officials do not have any additional information to share at this time on future entertainment offerings for Avengers Campus. The cast of high-intensity stunt performers who earn $40.48 per hour in “Avengers Assemble” are among the highest paid performers at Disney California Adventure, according to the American Guild of Variety Artists Performers. The closing of “Avengers Assemble” follows the final performance of “Doctor Strange: Mysteries of the Mystic Arts” in June, the removal of stunt performers from “The Amazing Spider-Man” show in November and the end of “Story Time with Deadpool Holiday Special” in January. The “Warriors of Wakanda: The Disciplines of the Dora Milaje” and “Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Dance Off” continue to perform in Avengers Campus. The “stuntronic” robot and a meet-and-greet character still remain in the Spider-Man show without the high-intensity stunt performers. Iron Man, Thor, Captain Marvel and other superhero meet-and-greet characters continue to make appearances in Avengers Campus. “Avengers Assemble” has been a mainstay since Avengers Campus debuted in 2021 with holiday versions of the rooftop stunt show featuring Hawkeye battling the Tracksuit Mafia using candy canes and Christmas presents. The Avengers Campus expansion now underway will add the new Avengers Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Labattractions to the Marvel super hero themed land. The latest batch of Marvel superheroes coming to theaters this summer won’t be heading to DCA’s Avengers Campus. The Fantastic Four — Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing — will make character meet-and-greet appearances in Tomorrowland at Disneyland when “Fantastic Four: First Steps” hits theaters on July 25. https://www.ocregister.com/2025/03/25/disneyland-cancels-avengers-assemble-rooftop-stunt-show/
