Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind truly has it all — an exciting soundtrack, a reverse launch, and appearances by some big actors.

But Disney just revealed some exciting news about another character that will be joining the bunch, and the character is played by an actor you might recognize!

Disney recently shared some information about a character that will be featured in the Cosmic Rewind attraction — “Centurion Tal Marik, Commander of the Starcharter and close advisor to Nova Prime.” But that’s not all — Disney also shared a FIRST LOOK at the actor behind the role — Terry Crews! 

Fans of Terry Crews will recognize him from his role in the tv show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the show Arrested Development, and many other shows and movies. It looks like Centurion Tal Marik has quite the uniform!

So far, from what we know, the story of this ride begins with your tour of the Wonders of Xandar Pavilion. You’ll tour the Galaxarium to learn about how Xandar and Earth are similar, and you’ll also get to see some other areas within the pavilion.

But then things go a bit sideways. Turns out Eson, the villain of this story and a Celestial, has been watching Earth for a loooong time and is looking “to right a wrong in a big way.”

The Guardians of the Galaxy will need your help to step up and save the galaxy…again!

We do know that Nova Prime will once again be played by actress Glenn Close for this attraction. Nova Prime is the commander of the Nova Corps and the Xandarian leader.

We can’t wait to see how Terry Crews’ character fits into the storyline. We’ll be sure to look for more updates and let you know what we find.

The post You’ll Feel Joy, Sadness, & Disgust with These NEW Disney Items! first appeared on the disney food blog.

As mysterious as the Force itself, a new kiosk has been erected next to Star Wars Trading Post in the Downtown Disney District.

The kiosk is currently obscured with themed construction walls and camouflage netting.

It has raised panels on at least three sides, suggesting that it could be used to sell additional merchandise outside of the store.

The timing of its arrival means it’s likely to be used for merchandise for May the 4th, commonly known as Star Wars Day by fans. If the past is any inclination, there’s typically a slew of new items released on the day.

Until recently, the site had been used for the throne photo op tied to the Disney+ series “The Book of Boba Fett,” as seen below.

Given that it looks mostly ready, we’ll likely soon know what the structure is for.

There’s a lot going on at EPCOT! Connections Cafe and Eatery have been undergoing soft openings, (with an official opening date set for this Wednesday, April 27th!), Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is set to open next month, and there are a lot of other ongoing construction projects happening at this park.

One of those ongoing construction projects is Journey of Water — inspired by Moana. This walk-through attraction is meant to be a “lush exploration trail” that will allow guests to play and interact with water. The construction area for this attraction is entirely hidden by walls from the ground, but hop on the Monorail and you’ve got a pretty decent look into it, so let’s take a look!

Journey of Water is located in the World Nature area of EPCOT (which also includes The Land and The Seas).

We’re starting to actual ROCK structures being built in the area, but they’re mostly still unrecognizable and are just concrete or steel beams. If it’s meant to be lush and natural looking, it still has a ways to go. But it’s still exciting to see some tangible vertical progress on this attraction!

We don’t have a lot of details about the attraction, but Disney has shared that it is meant for us to “learn about the importance of the natural water cycle.” There’s a lot of construction machinery moving stuff like dirt around to change the geography of the area.

In addition to concrete structures and steel beams, there’s multiple mounds of dirt. These may become apart of the geography of the attraction, or they may be removed.

Disney still hasn’t announced an opening timeframe for Journey of Water, but, based on these photos, it looks like there may still be a long ways to go.

We’ll be sure to keep checking as construction progresses, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more updates!
