Disney concluded CinemaCon 2024 with a thrilling array of presentations, showcasing new developments and footage from several highly anticipated Disney and Marvel projects. The studio's session featured a mix of humor, action, and heartfelt moments, leaving attendees buzzing with excitement.
The presentation kicked off with a notable showcase of "Deadpool & Wolverine," where Marvel's Kevin Feige introduced nine minutes of unrestrained and hilariously edgy footage. Ryan Reynolds returned as Wade Wilson, now humorously depicted as a used car salesman rather than the superhero fans are accustomed to. The segment highlighted Deadpool's unchanged irreverent humor and teased his return to superheroics alongside Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, promising an action-packed ride for fans.
Another highlight was "Captain America: Brave New World," featuring Harrison Ford stepping into the role of Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross. The footage revealed Ford's character tasking Anthony Mackie's Captain America with rebuilding the Avengers, setting the stage for a new chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Disney also treated attendees to 13 minutes of "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," which featured stunning natural scenery and intense action sequences. The footage followed the journey of Noah, a young ape, as he navigates challenges in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by nature and conflict.
"Young Woman and the Sea" emerged as a potential standout, starring Daisy Ridley as Gertrude 'Trudy' Ederle, the first woman to swim across the English Channel. The biographical drama is expected to be a deeply inspiring tale of determination and courage.
The event also included first looks at "Moana 2," "Mufasa: The Lion King," and "Inside Out 2," each promising to deliver unique stories and enrich the beloved universes they belong to. "Moana 2" teased new adventures with a heartwarming new song, while "Mufasa: The Lion King" offered a glimpse into the origins of some of Disney's most iconic characters.
As Disney continues to expand its cinematic horizons, CinemaCon 2024 has set the stage for a series of potential blockbuster hits, each weaving its own magic and adventure, ready to captivate audiences worldwide.
