Tony Stark’s Workshop Concept Art from Marvel Universe LIVE!
Marvel Universe LIVE! is a new live show that will feature the most Marvel characters ever assembled in one production, and details have now been released as to the show’s storyline.
The story centers around the battle over the Cosmic Cube, the source of ultimate power and one of the most feared and coveted treasures in the Marvel Universe. It has been shattered into pieces by Thor to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, but his villainous brother Loki devises a scheme to clone its powers, inciting a threat that could obliterate the Universe.
To defeat Loki, Marvel’s biggest super heroes including The Avengers — Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and Thor — along with Spider-Man and Wolverine, must band together to retrieve the Cosmic Cube fragments and unite them.
As the super heroes track the Cube, they will encounter some of their biggest adversaries including Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Red Skull, Madame Hydra, Aldrich Killian, Electro, and more in the quest for the very same fragments.
Whew! Sounds intense and a lot of fun to watch. To bring this plot to life, Marvel Universe LIVE! will feature aerial stunts, pyrotechnics and state-of-the-art show elements that will bring movie style special effects to the live arena show.
Here is a short video from Marvel detailing the creation of the show:
Produced by Feld Entertainment (who produce arena shows as varied as Disney on Ice and Nuclear Cowboyz), the show is currently scheduled for an 85-city 2+ year tour, starting with Tampa in July 2014.
A list of confirmed dates for the first leg of the North American tour is below:

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is due in theaters on April 4, 2014, and Marvel has released some new posters to promote the film.
The main poster features Chris Evans as Captain America flanked by Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. In the background are Sebastian Stan as Bucky “The Winter Soldier” Barnes and Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce.
Sadly, no love for Anthony Mackie’s The Falcon on this poster.
There are also three new character posters in the same vein as the main poster, courtesy of Marvel. Check them out below the jump:Read More »Marvel Releases New Posters to Hail the Coming of Captain America: The Winter Soldier
The release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier is two months away, on April 4, so Marvel decided to up the anticipation with a new incredible trailer during the Super Bowl.
The trailer packs a lot into its 2:30 minute length: more extensive looks at Falcon and The Winter Soldier himself; some high-energy action sequences; and clips that show the Marvel sense of humor to balance it out. The special effects also look amazing.
If you didn’t catch it already, here it is for your viewing pleasure:
I don’t know about you, but this clip definitely makes me want to see the movie more than I already did.
