Disneyland Fans Rally for PeopleMover Revival Amid Tomorrowland Redesign

Fans at D23 are pushing for the revival of the PeopleMover after Disneyland announced a Tomorrowland overhaul. The historic elevated ride opened in 1967 and carried more than 50 million guests before closing in 1995, and supporters on Reddit and beyond are hopeful it could return, though some caution that a new track would be required and no concrete revival plans have been announced amid Disneyland’s upcoming 75th anniversary.

Captain Marvel Returns in 2028—via a Disney Park Ride, Not a Fresh Film

Marvel announced Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel will return in 2028, not as a new film but as a non-canon Stark Flight Lab flight-simulator ride opening with the Avengers Campus expansion at Disney California Adventure. The move follows The Marvels’ box-office underperformance, though Marvel hasn’t ruled out a larger role for Carol Danvers in future MCU chapters. The ride co-stars Iron Man and Sam Wilson as instructors, and while it signals ongoing support for the character, there’s no confirmation of Captain Marvel 3 or her appearance in Doomsday or Secret Wars.
