Marvel Studios Hires Loki creator Michael Waldron to Write the script for Avengers The Kang Dynasty
Michael Waldron has been promoted to write Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.” Initially assigned to pen “Avengers: Secret Wars,” the subsequent installment, Waldron will now be the creative force behind both Avengers sequels. Recognized as one of Marvel’s esteemed talents, Waldron previously served as the showrunner for season 1 of Loki and contributed to the scripts of “Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness.” Given his proven track record, it’s a logical move by the studio to entrust him with both film projects. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will be in charge of production.
As reported by Deadline, Destin Daniel Cretton stepped away from directing the film to focus on other Marvel projects, including the TV series Wonder Man. “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” is scheduled for a theatrical release on May 1, 2026, allowing Waldron ample time to craft the script as the search for a director commences. This film will come before “Avengers: Secret Wars,” to conclude Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on May 7, 2027.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) stands as a monumental and interconnected franchise of superhero films and television series produced by Marvel Studios. Launched in 2008 with the release of “Iron Man,” the MCU has grown into a sprawling narrative tapestry that weaves together the stories of iconic characters like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Avengers. With Phase 6, the MCU is introducing more intricate storylines moving forward and has teased some of comics more recent superhero teams, like the Young Avengers.
Known for its ambitious and unprecedented shared universe approach, the MCU has redefined the superhero genre, blending epic storytelling, cutting-edge visual effects, and a stellar ensemble cast. With each phase, the MCU expands its scope, introducing new heroes, exploring diverse genres, and culminating in massive crossover events that captivate audiences globally. The success of the MCU has not only reshaped the landscape of blockbuster filmmaking but has also created a cultural phenomenon that resonates across generations.
Do you think that Phase 6 will live up to the expectations? Let us know your thoughts on the state of the MCU in a comment. Check back for updates to “The Kang Dynasty” and other MCU films here at Chip and Company.
Disneyland Files Construction Permits for $8 million Parkside Market in Downtown Disney
An innovative food hall-style concept, costing $8 million, is set to take over an upcoming 11,000 sqft building in Downtown Disney. This Parkside Market will feature Korean rice bowls, fried chicken sandwiches, and Caribbean-inspired coffee, complete with a second-story outdoor bar. Disneyland submitted building permits to the city of Anaheim in October, valuing the construction at $8.2 million, as per city records.
The commercial construction permits submitted to the Anaheim Planning and Building Department outline plans for a fast-food restaurant featuring four distinct concepts and second-floor outdoor dining.
According to The Orange County Register there are four new Parkside Market food and beverage concepts coming to Parkside Market. Those are:
Seoul Sister โ Bibimbap Korean rice bowls with a California twist and an Asian-inspired breakfast menu from Executive Chef Kelly Kim.
Sip & Sonder โ Los Angeles-based coffee house with Caribbean-inspired bites and frozen drinks from founders Amanda-Jane Thomas and Shanita Nicholas. Sip & Sonder has a flagship location in Inglewood and a second outpost at the Los Angeles Music Center.
GGโs Chicken Shop โ Rotisserie and fried chicken sandwiches with classic dinner table sides from Michelin Star Chef Lee Wolen and James Beard Award-winning restaurateurs Rob Katz and Kevin Boehm. The first brick-and-mortar GGโs Chicken Shop opened in Chicago earlier this year.
Al Fresco Bar โ An as-yet-unnamed al fresco bar on the second story of Parkside Market offering craft cocktails, frozen lemonades and espresso martinis.
These concepts will be brought together by Levy Restaurants with all four locations under one roof in Downtown Disneyโs west end near the Disneyland Hotel. The construction of the new 11,000-square-foot building is taking place on the grounds where the former AMC Theaters, Starbucks West, Earl of Sandwich, and Sugarboo & Co. once stood. These structures were demolished in February 2022 as part of a multi-year project aimed at reimagining the Downtown Disney outdoor shopping center.
Are you looking forward to seeing the Downtown Disney District when all the construction is complete?

Work Underway for New Covered Seating Area Near Harambe Market at Disneyโs Animal Kingdom
A new covered seating area is coming to the Harambe Market area in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Construction on the seating area began this summer and we recently noticed roof decking has been added to the structure.
This new space is located amidst three dining spots: Tamu Tamu, Zuriโs Sweet Shop, and Harambe Market. Upon completion, guests dining at any of these locations will be able to utilize this seating area.
Since we saw the roof framework first go up, decking has been added. More themed paneling will be added over the decking later.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is known as the hottest Walt Disney World theme park, primarily due to its predominantly outdoor setting. Therefore, the covered seating area will offer a welcome relief for guests.
Are you looking forward to more covered seating options at Animal Kingdom?
