A Black Panther expansion at a Disneyland location could be in the works.

The news was teased by Disney Parks Experiences and Products chairman Josh D’Amaro during the latest Investor Summit, “Imagine bringing Wakanda to life.” He continued, “In terms of bringing the latest Disney-Marvel-Pixar intellectual property to the parks, we haven’t come close to scratching the surface. And we have learned that incorporating Disney I.P. increases the return on investment significantly.”

ComicBook added that Disney’s recent SEC filing confirmed that the company invested $60 billion USD into parks and experiences, noting that the conglomerate “will explore even more characters and franchises, including some that haven’t been leveraged extensively to date, as it embarks on a new period of significant growth domestically and internationally in its parks and resorts.”

Stay tuned for more updates.
