Rebranding

In 2014, the event became a hard-ticket event at DHS, and renamed Villains Unleashed, to be held on August 23. Besides the above-mentioned characters, there was over fifty villains from various Disney properties (including the Star Wars franchise, represented by Darth Vader and Darth Maul to name two) and a full takeover of the park. Star-Lord and Gamora also appeared at the "Awesome Mix Tape Dance Party" during this event.
