Disney has made plenty of announcements throughout this year’s D23 expo, but the company saved some reveals for Sunday. During the Disneyland parks panel, they shed some light on one of the new attractions headed to the upcoming Avengers Campus in the California Adventure park.

The ride, which will be part of the Avengers Campus phase 2, will be based on the Black Panther corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but will feature many of the Avengers, not just T’Challa himself. It will open with a journey from Avengers HQ to Wakanda on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet, and guests will wind up in a major Avengers fight by the end, featuring an unnamed MCU villain.

The Avengers Campus is a new park area scheduled to open at California Adventure in 2020, and at Disneyland Paris at an unknown date. The Wakanda ride has only been announced for the California Adventure location currently.

During the Sunday D23 panel, Disney also revealed details about the Avengers Campus Spider-Man ride–as awkward as it may currently be to discuss. The Spider-Man attraction, called W.E.B. (Worldwide Engineering Brigade), will feature “web-slinging vehicles” and new Peter Parker inventions like the Spider-Bot, which will glitch out and begin to replicate itself during the ride’s story.

It’s been an eventful D23. Throughout the weekend, we learned about more returning MCU characters in WandaVision’s cast, the reveal of Disney Plus’s Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight shows, more details about the Loki and Falcon and Winter Soldier shows, Black Panther 2’s release date, and more about Disney+ and the MCU phase 4.

On the Star Wars side, Disney confirmed that Ewan McGregor is returning to the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi, announced the release date for Star Wars Clone Wars Season 7, and revealed a Disney+ show starring very dead Rogue One characters.

The first details about Disneyland’s upcoming Marvel-themed land, Avengers Campus, have arrived thanks to Disney’s D23 Expo, including the first details of the new Spider-Man attraction W.E.B. or the “Worldwide Engineering Brigade.”

The ride will feature “web-slinging vehicles” and Spider-Bots, developed by Peter Parker, which are glitching out during the ride’s story.

Concept art for the new ride vehicles was shown during the presentation, teasing some of the ride’s interactive features which will let riders experience the sensation of Spidey’s iconic web-slinging moves as they work alongside Peter to round up the malfunctioning Spider-Bots.

At D23, we learned about plenty about Disney’s upcoming movies, including Jungle Cruise, Star Wars: Episode 9, Marvel’s Black Widow, and more. However, one big surprise came from the details to the 101 Dalmatians prequel. We got to see what Cruella DeVille would look like in the upcoming live-action movie.

Starring Emma Stone as the titular character, those that attended the movies panel on Saturday at the Disney convention learned a bit more about the movie, which won’t hit theaters until 2021, on the 50th anniversary of the animated classic, 101 Dalmatians.

Fans got their first look at Stone from the set, complete with the half-black, half-white hair, which you can see above. In a behind-the-scenes video filmed by Stone for the D23 crowd, she revealed the movie would be set in 1960s London. Stone appeared on screen, discussing the film, while yelling at a poor dog off screen. Emma Thompson, Stone’s co-star in the film, was also mentioned. However, details about her character have yet to be revealed. There have been rumors she’ll be playing Baroness, but as to who or what that character is, no one knows at this time.

We’ll learn more in the upcoming year, but Cruella is still a ways off, as it won’t be released theatrically until May 28, 2021.

D23 was a huge weekend for news, as those in attendance got to see eight minutes of footage of the upcoming Tom Holland/Chris Pretty Pixar movie, Onward. Additionally, we learned a lot more about plenty of Disney+ TV series, including the Star Wars shows The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan. As for Marvel, three new Disney+ TV series were announced at the convention She-Hulk, Moon Knight, and Ms. Marvel.

During the D23 Movies panel, which gave us a look at Star Wars: Episode 9, as well as more info on Black Panther 2, and The Eternals, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe were in for quite a treat when they got to see footage from the upcoming Black Widow movie.

Set to release in 2020, those attending the panel learned that the movie is still filming as they watched an on-set video of Scarlett Johansson, David Harbour, and Florence Pugh. The cast was on a helicopter saying they wanted to attend D23, but they’re in the middle of making the movie.

Johansson is a major part of the movie, and many of these scenes show to the crowd featured her and Pugh’s character, assassin Yelena Belova. Some of this footage was shown at Comic-Con back in July.

Panel-goers got a quick recap of Black Widow from previous movies before seeing what the new movie had to offer. The new footage with Natasha Romanova walking through the empty streets of Budapest. She gets into an elevator. Then, Nat and Yelena have guns drawn on each other in an apartment. What follows is an intense battle where the two characters are trying to kill each other in the kitchen, which gets demolished. Yelena charges at Nat with a knife, and they try to strangle each other with a curtain.

In the next shot, Nat says, “It’s good to see you too, sis,” as they drink vodka together. There is a shot of the Nat, Yelena and Red Guardian (Harbour) all in costume and bearing people up, which leads to a face-to-face moment with Nat and the movie’s main villain, Taskmaster.

Black Widow will hit theaters on May 1, 2020. In other Marvel news, a Ms. Marvel TV show was announced for Disney+, Game of Thrones star Kit Harington joined MCU in The Eternals, and Moon Knight is getting a Disney+ series too. If that wasn’t enough She-Hulk is also getting her own show. You can see all the latest news in our D23 roundup.
