The Droids You’re Looking For: New Star Wars Experiences Announced At Sxsw

'Fantastic Four First Steps' trailer stars Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal

Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach star as a family of superheroes in Marvel's "The Fantastic Four: First Steps."

New Star Wars and Fantastic Four experiences are coming to DIsney parks. 

Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro revealed them Saturday during a SXSW session on the future of world building at Disney, which included how Disney brings its studios’ stories to life. 

With The Fantastic Four: First Steps film arriving in theatres this July, he shared several Fantastic Four-inspired experiences that are heading to Disneyland Resort in California later this year. Timing and details are under wraps, but they will include a chance to meet the Fantastic Four. There’s also something in the works with their beloved robotic assistant H.E.R.B.I.E.   

Also, this year, the free-moving BDX Droids that debuted at Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge last year will head to Walt Disney World in Florida, Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disney Resort. The playful droids have been a hit, also appearing at last year’s D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event and earning Walt Disney Imagineering a Themed Entertainment Association Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement – Technical Innovation. 

Star Wars fans can also look forward to seeing more of The Mandalorian and Grogu next year. The two already appear in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but sometime next year, they will also join the Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction at both parks. The movie “The Mandalorian & Grogu” also hits theaters next year.
