A new chapter for Thanos at Disney

Marvel fans are getting another chance to encounter Thanos as Disney prepares to expand its Avengers Campus with Avengers: Infinity Defense.

The attraction, which is scheduled to open in 2028 at Disney California Adventure, will take guests into a new Marvel adventure spanning the Multiverse. Disney has also shared a new look at Thanos for the experience, giving fans another reason to keep an eye on the attraction.


The Avengers are getting back together

The attraction will feature several familiar faces from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Iman Vellani returning as Kamala Khan.

Robert Downey Jr is also set to appear as Tony Stark, alongside Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America and Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton.

Vellani's return is particularly significant for fans of Ms Marvel, with the actor once again bringing Kamala Khan into the wider Marvel universe.

A bigger Marvel experience is coming

Avengers: Infinity Defense is part of a larger expansion at Avengers Campus, with Disney also developing Stark Flight Lab.

The new attraction will take guests across different Marvel locations as they join the Avengers on a mission involving the Multiverse.

With Thanos back in the picture and a host of familiar Marvel stars involved, Disney is clearly leaning into the characters and stories that have made the Avengers such a major part of its theme parks and wider entertainment universe.

The attraction is expected to open in 2028.

Tom Jones's "refresh" excuse isn't new, ITV used it on Anne-Marie too

Highlights:

  • Sir Tom Jones says ITV fired him from The Voice UK, ending an association with the show that's run on and off since its 2012 launch.
  • In a statement posted to social media, Jones said the reason given was "a financial difficulty with insurance," and that a new coaching line-up left no chair for him.
  • ITV has reportedly lined up Aitch and Cheryl Tweedy as new coaches, alongside returning names Kelly Rowland and will.i.am, as part of a wider panel refresh.

Tom Jones didn't find out from ITV directly, or at least not in a way he felt was clear enough. The 86-year-old singer has revealed he's been fired from The Voice UK, in a statement that made plain he wasn't the one who chose to go.

What did Tom Jones actually say?

He was direct about it. "I did not want to leave The Voice," Jones wrote, insisting the decision was ITV's alone, made some time ago and only communicated to him recently. He said the reason given was an insurance issue, before ITV's own public framing shifted to wanting a "refresh" of the coaching panel, one that left no seat for him. He was offered a smaller role instead, appearing occasionally rather than coaching from the start of the series, an offer he said he wasn't thrilled about. He closed his statement with a pointed observation about his age, essentially noting that there's simply no good moment to let go of someone in his late eighties who's still doing the job well.
