Marvel Universe LIVE!
will captivate audiences with an authentic and original story that
brings more than 25 Marvel characters together on one epic quest. The
story is framed around the battle over
the Cosmic Cube, the source of ultimate power and one of the most
feared and coveted treasures in the Marvel Universe, that has been
shattered into pieces by the Mighty Thor in order to prevent it from
falling into the wrong hands. With the pieces scattered
across the globe, Thor’s villainous brother Loki devises a scheme to
clone its powers, inciting a threat that could not only decimate Earth
but also obliterate the Universe.
To defeat
Loki, Marvel’s biggest Super Heroes must band together, including The
Avengers - Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and Thor along with
Spider-Man and Wolverine, must trek across
the globe to retrieve the Cosmic Cube fragments and unite them. As the
Super Heroes track the Cube, they will encounter some of their biggest
adversaries including Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Red Skull, Madame
Hydra, Aldrich Killian, Electro and more, in
the quest for the very same fragments. These foes have no problem
teaming up if it gets them closer to their ultimate goal of world
domination.
