It can be tough to keep on top of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's rapid expansion, and on the heels of a new trailer for Avengers: Infinity War, Disney has revealed that the MCU will take another step into the real world with new Marvel-themed lands at three Disneyland parks.

Today, the company revealed that the Marvel-themed lands have been confirmed for California's Disneyland Resort, Disneyland Paris and Disneyland Hong Kong. Set to open in 2020, the additions are said to "champion the next generation of Super Heroes."

Marvel broke down their installation plans for California as follows:

At Disneyland Resort, the new Super Hero-themed land will begin recruiting guests in 2020, with even more new experiences to follow. The Guardians of the Galaxy will be joined by Spider-Man and the Avengers in what will become a completely immersive Super Hero universe, furthering the evolution of Disney California Adventure park. This new land will be anchored by the popular Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, in the adjacent space that is currently occupied by "a bug's land." "It's Tough to Be a Bug" closed March 19 to make way for this new heroic experience; the rest of the land will close in late summer.

For Disneyland Paris, the company promises that park's Marvel-themed area "will include a reimagined attraction where riders will team up with Iron Man and their favourite Avengers on a hyper-kinetic adventure in 2020." Hong Kong Disneyland's Marvel-themed area will allow visitors to team up with Ant-Man and the Wasp, which will join that resort's Iron Man Experience.

Further details can be found through Marvel's official website, with a trailer for all three lands available to view in the player below. 

Avengers: Infinity War hits theatres April 27.
