Disney and Marvel to Showcase Exclusive Content at AsiaPOP Comicon Manila 2018
Fans are in for a treat with APCC-exclusive
Disney and Marvel experiences
Two
exclusive premium content showcases are definitely better than one. Content and
entertainment giant, The Walt Disney Company, brings AsiaPOP Comicon exclusives
to its fans on July 27 to 29! From access to the first-ever ‘Hall D’ in Asia and ‘Hall M’, an immersive experience at the
Marvel booth, to the latest in merchandise and collectibles, fans are definitely
in for a treat with a celebration of their love for Disney and Marvel!
"We
have a lot of great surprises lined up for fans, both old and new ones. Over
the years we have built a strong strategic partnership with Marvel in
showcasing exclusive content from their movies, TV, animations, comics and
merchandise through a platform christened as ‘Hall M.’ Now it is great to have
the parent company, The Walt Disney Company, showcase exclusive content and
experiences from the rest of its franchises,” said Abdulla Mahmood, Al Ahli Holding Group Marketing and International Business
Director.
The Arrival of the first-ever
‘Hall D’ in Asia
A
first in Asia, ‘Hall D’ will showcase what’s now and what’s to come from The
Walt Disney Company Philippines. Be among the first to watch special content
from Walt Disney Animation Studios,
plus join an exclusive session with legendary Disney artist, Mark Henn. Fans will continue to be
connected to their favorite Disney movies, shows, and music as they know more
about DisneyLife, the world of
Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel in one app.
‘Hall
D’ will be complemented with the Marvel booth, which plans to provide an
immersive experience to Marvel fans. Step into the quantum realm as this booth transports fans
to the Marvel Cinematic Universe – from interacting with life-size statues of
well-loved super heroes to bringing home Marvel merchandise and collectibles.
“We
are happy to partner with APCC as we bring our content and experiences closer
to our fans. The unwavering support we receive from our fans serves as a strong
pillar on why we remain the leader in content and entertainment,” said Veronica
Cabalinan, The Walt Disney Company Philippines’ Country Manager. “With the
exclusives we have prepared for APCC, we hope to engage our fans further and
celebrate their love for all things Disney.”
Assemble at ‘Hall M’
Returning
for the third time, is the much-talked about and the much-raved about ‘Hall M,’ a Marvel exclusive showcase of
content.
Already
an APCC Manila tradition, fans may remember ‘Hall M’ as the amazing event which brought to Filipino fans a rich
assortment of exclusive content from Marvel's many entertainment fields,
including past blockbusters such as Marvel
Studios’ Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange.
Just
last year, ‘Hall M’ gave us clips and trailers from Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok, Marvel Studios’ Black Panther, Marvel
vs. Capcom: Infinite, and Marvel’s
Punisher TV Series.
With
a slew of upcoming content following the epic confrontations in the recent Avengers: Infinity War, ‘Hall M’ is
bound to have juicy surprises up its long, well-guarded sleeves this year
across its different platforms that include films, TV, mobile games, and
animation.
Another first for APCC
APCC Manila is the first and only pop-culture convention in Asia to have
Studios content showcase from leading Hollywood Studios. In 2016 ‘Hall M,’ a
Marvel showcase was launched to an overwhelming response. This year ‘Hall D’
will be launched in Asia making it three years in a row to launch an exclusive
platform
“It is an honor for us to have the world’s leading studios showcase
exclusive content at APCC Manila and this just reaffirms the commitment of our
team to continuously over deliver with talent and exclusive content while
building on the trust and partnerships with various studios by providing them
with a perfect platform to connect with their fans in the region” said Mahmood
on the growing global Hollywood studio alliances.
