The iconic Spider-Man Stunt Show at Disney California Adventure is set to undergo changes. The live stunt performers from the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA) union will no longer be part of the show, which is officially titled “The Amazing Spider-Man!”
Moving forward, the show will rely on the Stuntronic, a robotic performer that replicates Spider-Man’s acrobatic feats. While the live actor will continue to climb down the building’s wall for meet-and-greets, the rooftop stunts will be performed solely by the Stuntronic.
The decision to remove live performers from the Spider-Man Stunt Show aligns with Disney’s ongoing cost-cutting measures, particularly in anticipation of the significant investment in Disneyland Forward.
This move follows the closure of “Dr. Strange: Mysteries of the Mystic Arts” in Avengers Campus earlier this year. Additionally, the frequency of performances for shows like “Warriors of Wakanda: The Disciplines of the Dora Milaje” has been reduced.
