JEDDAH: Saudi fans of the Marvel superheroes will soon be able to see some of their favorite characters up close and in action in Jeddah.
As part of the Jeddah Events Calendar, Marvel Universe Live! shows will be staged from Sept. 27 to Oct. 20 at King Abdullah Sports City Hall, one of the stops on the production’s world tour.
Superheroes from the Marvel Universe and Guardians of the Galaxy will join forces to fight evil in a series of performances presented by US company Feld Entertainment Inc.
Juliette Grossman, the show’s producer, said audiences could expect to see an action-packed adventure involving cutting-edge video displays, special effects, and aerial stunts.
The use of motorcycles in a high-stakes race against time to save humanity adds another layer of excitement, she added.
The show brings together characters such as Spider-Man, the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and Doctor Strange on a mission to retrieve the Wand of Watoomb before the mischievous Loki can seize it. In the show, the ancient artifact holds the power to fulfil Loki’s eternal ambition of ruling the universe.
Performances will take place twice a day at 4:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Tickets priced between SR55 ($15) and SR350, are available here.
