New Disney Villains Show Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Summer 2025
Hi everyone!
A new Disney Villains show will be coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Summer 2025! It will take the place of what is currently Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, which will close October 7th, 2024. The information from the Disney Parks Blog says there will be appearances by “dozens” of evildoers, with Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook and Maleficent “breaking through the glass to take the stage in live production numbers”.
This feels like a primer for the upcoming Villains land coming to Magic Kingdom (which is mentioned briefly in the announcement).
Read below for more details from Disney about the Disney Villains show!
Deep in the shadows of Sunset Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, something delightfully wicked is about to take the stage. It’s an all-new live production starring your favorite Disney Villains – debuting summer 2025!
The creative minds at Disney Live Entertainment will transform Sunset Showcase into the mysterious, reflective realm of the Magic Mirror. The show will feature appearances by dozens of the most infamous evildoers, with fiendish foes Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook and Maleficent each breaking through the glass to take the stage in live production numbers.
Before these villainous fiends take the spotlight at Sunset Showcase, guests should speed on over for another lap around the track at Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy before October 7.
Never ones to shy away from barging in unexpectedly, the Disney Villains’ appearance in this new show comes in addition to the future Villains-themed land announced for Magic Kingdom during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.
