MARVEL STUDIOS AND ILM x LAB ANNOUNCE AVENGERS: 

DAMAGE CONTROL AND RELEASE FIRST-LOOK TEASER TRAILER

The location-based virtual reality experience features Letitia Wright,

Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Rudd, and Evangeline Lilly

October 3, 2019 - SAN FRANCISCO, CA. Today Marvel Studios and ILMxLAB, Lucasfilm’s

immersive entertainment studio, announced Avengers: Damage Control, a virtual reality fan

experience coming to select locations at The VOID starting October 18th. Tickets for the limited-time event are available now.

“We’re always looking for new stories and corners of the universe for our characters to explore.

Now, after more than a decade of amazing support, we are excited to give fans the same opportunity: to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” said Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios. 

“Expanding how people can experience the MCU is something we’re always

trying to do, and in Avengers: Damage Control, we wanted to give fans the chance to suit up

alongside some their favorite heroes for the first time ever.”

After Marvel Studios’ unprecedented storytelling accomplishments bringing the Marvel

Cinematic Universe to audiences around the world, Avengers: Damage Control will let fans step

into the MCU for the very first time and team up alongside Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! Fans will

be enlisted by Shuri (Letitia Wright) to test her latest prototype design: Emergency Response

Suits, created with a proprietary blend of Wakandan and Stark Industries technology.

When sinister forces intervene, guests at the Wakandan Outreach Centers will soon find themselves

recruited into action, exploring iconic locations across the MCU. Fans will fight side by side with

Avengers like Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd),

the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly), and more.

Like ILMxLAB’s previous collaborations with The VOID, Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire and

Ralph Breaks VR, Avengers: Damage Control pairs virtual reality with real-world sets and

physical effects like heat and wind. The result is a uniquely immersive experience: a virtual

world that guests can touch and feel, bringing their favorite Marvel characters to life in a way that’s never before been possible.

“The opportunity to bring such a beloved universe alive through immersive storytelling has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Shereif Fattouh, Senior Producer, ILMxLAB.

"Avengers: Damage Control lets you feel what it's like to shoot repulsor blasts with your own

two hands, suited up in Shuri’s latest technology. This original adventure allows you to go

beyond the screen, and become a character in the story itself."

Avengers: Endgame received both critical acclaim and the accolades of fans around the world,

bringing The Infinity Saga to a spectacular close. To celebrate the success, Avengers: Damage

Control will be taking over multiple different locations at The VOID for a limited run, including

New York City, Atlanta, Santa Monica, and Downtown Disney District in Anaheim, CA.

“We’re fans first, and we all have our favorite movie moment, and favorite character," said

Dave Bushore, Executive Producer, Marvel Studios. "But to be able to mark a moment in time

where you got to step into the MCU and meet them, interact with them, and come together as

a team...it’s extraordinarily powerful. We hope people have as much fun experiencing

Avengers: Damage Control as we did making it."
