Robert Downey Jr. is returning as Iron Man for Avengers Infinity Defense, a new 2028 Disneyland attraction featuring a star-studded MCU cast and multiversal timeline questions.
Disney just dropped a massive announcement at D23 that bridges the gap between the big screen and theme park immersion. Robert Downey Jr. is officially stepping back into the iconic red and gold suit for Avengers Infinity Defense, a star-studded new attraction heading to Disney California Adventure in 2028. IGN reports that the experience features a heavy-hitting MCU cast, including Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, and Jeremy Renner returning as Hawkeye alongside Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel.
Lore nerds and continuity trackers are already having a field day with this one. Since Tony Stark's heartbreaking exit in Endgame, seeing him back in action alongside modern roster staples like Shuri's Black Panther raises plenty of timeline questions, especially with Downey Jr. also gearing up to play Doctor Doom in upcoming films. Disney is keeping details close to the chest regarding whether the ride is strictly canon, though the Multiverse Saga provides an easy out for any timeline gymnastics.
Alongside Infinity Defense, Disney announced Stark Flight Lab, another 2028 addition where visitors can test out flight tech alongside Brie Larson's Captain Marvel and Downey Jr.'s Iron Man. For players and pop culture fans who treat theme parks as the ultimate physical extension of their favorite digital and cinematic universes, 2028 is shaping up to be a massive year to visit the coast.
