Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle! follows the successful launch of Iron Man Experience at the resort in 2017.

More Marvel experiences will be launched as part of the multi-year expansion of HKDL that extends through 2023, making HKDL an ultimate hub for Super Hero experiences in the region.

The first of such offerings is a brand-new live atmosphere stage show, “Moana: A Homecoming Celebration” which debuted in Adventureland in May.

The transformation of HKDL castle is already underway.
