Thor, Spider Man, Iron Man and Wolverine at Madame Tussauds Sydney

Thor as portrayed by Aussie Superstar Chris Hemsworth and Spider-Man will join Iron Man and Wolverine in the all-new Marvel Super Hero Zone

Prior to the April launch of Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, the Mighty Avenger Thor, and the iconic web-slinger Spider-Man, join Iron Man and Wolverine at Madame Tussauds Sydney.

Thor’s imposing wax figure was created following a two-day sitting with Australian actor Chris Hemsworth. Madame Tussauds worked closely with Marvel Studios to ensure every element, including Thor’s hair and costume, is true to his iconic character from the 2011 film, Marvel’s Thor. The thundering figure of Asgard’s greatest warrior will be in Sydney for a limited time only.

Spider-Man will also join the Marvel Super Hero Zone as a permanent addition to the Sydney attraction. Marvel fans young and old will be able to interact and hang out with the ultimate wall-crawler.

“We are thrilled to bring Thor and Spider-Man to life, so that the fans from Australia can get up close and personal with their favourite Marvel Super Heroes. With Iron Man and Wolverine already such popular figures in our attraction, the all-new Marvel Super Hero Zone will display some of the most beloved characters in the world. Marvel fans can even join the Super Hero ranks themselves by donning Thor’s armour or seeing what they look like with Wolverine’s claws,” said Steve Hinks, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Sydney.

Also opening these April holidays is an all-new 3D Virtual Reality experience - a cutting edge virtual reality head-mounted display where users are transported to another world through sound and special effects. Through this new technology, visitors to Madame Tussauds Sydney will travel 500 years into the future to a post-apocalyptic Sydney and become "Karbon Man"! As the world's last hope, soar through the sky and use your superpowers to protect what remains of civilisation from an alien invasion.

“We invite all Marvel fans to come along and not only see these icons of Marvel but also embrace their own inner super powers with the use of the new 3D virtual Reality experience that will enable users to feel what it’s like to be a Super Hero,” added Hinks.

The Thor and Spider-Man figures will join other iconic Heroes in the all-new Marvel Super Hero Zone, including:

·     Wolverine: Australian Hollywood star Hugh Jackman portrayed as the mutant Wolverine in Fox Film’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, including his remarkable foot-long adamantium claws. Visitors can pose alongside Wolverine’s figure with their very own set of Wolverine claws

·    Iron Man: the Armoured Avenger and star of multiple Marvel movies, including the newest –Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, out in late April. The figure is wearing his mark IV armour from Marvel’s Iron Man 2. His suit lights up with glowing eyes, palms and arc reactor (chest). Guests can wear a similar suit of armour to pose with Iron Man’s figure

All Super Hero fans are encouraged to fly into the Marvel Super Hero Zone at Madame Tussauds Sydney. Here, you will step into the world of these infamous characters and even become your own Super Hero.  

Where: Madame Tussauds Sydney, Aquarium Wharf, Darling Harbour (next door to WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo)
