What They Are Saying:
- Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios: “We’re always looking for new stories and corners of the universe for our characters to explore. Now, after more than a decade of amazing support, we are excited to give fans the same opportunity: to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Expanding how people can experience the MCU is something we’re always trying to do, and in Avengers: Damage Control, we wanted to give fans the chance to suit up alongside some of their favorite heroes for the first time ever.”
- Shereif Fattouh, Senior Producer, ILMxLAB: “The opportunity to bring such a beloved universe alive through immersive storytelling has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Avengers: Damage Control lets you feel what it's like to shoot repulsor blasts with your own two hands, suited up in Shuri’s latest technology. This original adventure allows you to go beyond the screen, and become a character in the story itself."
