The Walt Disney Company’s latest theme park creation opens Friday at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, California and every corner of it is filled with winks and nods to all things Marvel.

Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and Ned (Jacob Batalon) built a giant
Star Wars Lego set of the famous Death Star. In Avengers Campus, it’s sitting in the workshop holding area for
Web-Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure, one of the park’s brand new interactive attractions. Web-Slingers is without a doubt the highlight of the new land that, frankly, is pretty dang small. But the Disneyland Resort (which includes Disneyland itself and California Adventure, which holds the Marvel land) has used the limited space incredibly well, packing it with non-stop reminders of why we love Marvel so much, just like that Lego Death Star.

“Ageism in Hollywood is a very concerning issue that we must stand against as artists,” Zhao tells
Variety. “Aging is a beautiful part of life that should be celebrated. It’s really an honor for us to have Salma to lead the ‘Eternals’ family. I can’t take all the credits.
