Okay, Marvel fans, drop everything. The Fantastic Four are heading to Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure, and this is a pretty big deal.
Starting November 20, Marvel’s First Family is making its Avengers Campus debut for a limited time. That’s right, for the very first time ever, you can see Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, The Thing, and even their little robot buddy H.E.R.B.I.E. in the park.
Wait, Why Are They Here?
Here’s the fun part. According to Disney, the Fantastic Four have set up a mobile lab at Avengers Campus to study a mysterious cosmic anomaly. And they’re working right alongside Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to figure it out.
So basically, something weird is happening in space, and the smartest family in the Marvel Universe showed up to help. Love that for us.
Where Can You Find Them?
You’ll want to head to Avengers Headquarters. That’s where the team will be making select appearances.
Since appearances are limited and times can change, definitely check the Disneyland app the day you go. You don’t want to show up and find out you just missed them.
Let’s Meet the Team
If you’re not super familiar with the Fantastic Four, here’s the quick rundown.
Mister Fantastic is Reed Richards, the leader and the big brain of the group. After getting hit with cosmic rays, he can stretch and bend his body into basically any shape. Super smart, super stretchy, super dedicated to his family.
Invisible Woman is Sue Storm, and honestly, she’s kind of the glue that holds everyone together. She can turn invisible and make powerful force fields to protect her team. Don’t mess with her family.
Human Torch is Johnny Storm, and he’s the fun one. He can burst into flames, control fire, and fly. He’s always looking for his next big adventure and dreams of taking his powers all the way to the stars.
The Thing is Ben Grimm, the strong, rocky protector of the group. He’s loyal, tough, and always ready to keep his family safe. Big softie energy under all those rocks, honestly.
And then there’s H.E.R.B.I.E., which stands for Humanoid Experimental Robot B-Type Integrated Electronics. Reed built him, and even though he’s made of metal and wires, the family treats him like one of their own. Adorable.
They’re a Family First
Here’s what makes the Fantastic Four different from a lot of other Marvel teams. They’re not just coworkers who fight bad guys together. They’re a real family. Cosmic powers brought them together, but their bond is what keeps them going.
That makes them a perfect fit for Disney, and it means kids and grown-ups alike can totally get into them.
How Long Are They Staying?
That’s the catch. This is a limited-time thing, and Disney hasn’t said when it ends. So if you’re a big Marvel fan, don’t put this off.
Our Tips
Go earlier in their run instead of waiting. Check the Disneyland app for appearance times. Get there a little early, because new characters always bring a crowd. Have your camera ready, because you’ll definitely want a photo with H.E.R.B.I.E. And while you’re at Avengers Campus, ride a few rides and grab a snack too.
Marvel Fans, Assemble
The Fantastic Four showing up at Avengers Campus is something fans have been waiting for, and now it’s finally happening. Between the cosmic mystery storyline and getting to see the whole family together, this one feels pretty special.
So, who are you most excited to see? Team Human Torch or Team The Thing?
