Marvel Avengers' S.T.A.T.I.O.N. Puts You in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Please note that we were given a Media Coverage Pass to attend this experience, but that just means we get to tell you all about it and you get a preview of what took place. 

Many of our readers know that we are BIG fans of the Marvel Movies and are often some of the first people in Canada to see the films and live-action events. This time we got to take our experience one step further by immersing ourselves in the surroundings of Marvel Avengers' S.T.A.T.I.O.N. 

Avengers Assemble

The Marvel Avengers' S.T.A.T.I.O.N. exhibit is a multi-media experience. They have assembled a mix of costumes that were worn in the film, display replicas, interactive posts and video screens that bring you back to your favourite moments in the films. It's like you have been put into a Marvel Movie set. 

In my reel below you get a glimpse of what we did at the exhibit.

I am sure you can tell by the video that IRON MAN is my favorite Marvel Super Hero, but I really do love all the characters!

 

I even have a favourite villain and no it is not Thanos.

It happens to be Loki.
