Experience a thrilling and epic show as Marvel's favorite superheroes take to the Philippine stage at the first Marvel Universe Live, which will be held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena from June 7 to 16.

Presented by APAC Feld Entertainment, "Marvel Universe LIVE!" will follow the story of Doctor Strange and the Guardians of the Galaxy as they join forces on a momentous crusade against the scheming Nebula, who teams up with the conniving and loathsome villains Loki and Green Goblin. 

The incredible superhuman forces of Iron Man, Thor, Black Panther, Hulk, and Black Widow will unite in clashes that pit student against mentor, sister against sister, and brother against brother.

During the press launch held at the Entertainment Hall on May 2, Arnel Gonzales, general manager and senior assistant vice president of SM Mall of Asia Arena, shared that the Philippines is the only Asian stop for the tour. 

"We partnered with Feld to bring this to life for the Philippines. We've been planning this since the pre-pandemic, but we had to reschedule it for this year, and we're fortunate that this is the only stop for the Asia leg. Nag-mala Taylor Swift kami dito," Arnel shared.

Matthew Garrick, senior director of APAC Feld Entertainment, mentioned making the Philippines special for their show.

"I think it's not just about our show; anytime our performers come, they enjoy attending these press conferences because everyone is so nice and welcoming. I told my friends that if they wanted to see a show or concert, they had to fly to Manila and see it there because the audience is much more into the show," Matthew said.

Fans can expect an epic, thrilling experience watching their favorite superheroes save the world because of immersive video projection and cutting-edge special effects produced by the creative team at Feld Entertainment. With the impressive stage design and props, attendees will feel as if they are transported into another realm.
