Terry Crews, as we know is joining Marvel Cinematic Universe. But, wait, he is not going to have his appearance in a movie by Marvel Studios. Rather, Disney Parks has recently on Twitter announced that Terry will be rather appearing in the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Ride.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Ride will be released in May, i.e., next month at EPCOT at Walt Disney’s World Resort. In this article, we will be sharing Terry’s look as Centurion Tal Marik. Centurion Tal Marik is Nova Prime’s close advisor. Glenn Close is portraying the role of Nova Prime. Glenn’s role is that of a reprise role from Guardians of the Galaxy’s first film.

You can simply see that Tal Marik’s character is very new and unique for MCU as it is not of any famous Marvel characters. Also, it is no surprise that James Gunn might have cast Terry after Terry had shared how much he loves Rom: the Spaceknight. It is interesting to know that Rom: The Spaceknight’s character actually is from the 1980s Marvel series but Marvel does not own it now. On May 27th, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Ride will be open to the public. The Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Ride will also be one of the world’s longest enclosed coasters.
Alas I cannot as Marvel no longer holds the rights to Rom – just to some other Spaceknights and parts of the story created in the comics – otherwise, believe you me, ol’ toaster head would probably be in the Guardians by now. https://t.co/UPw9US7rmf

The License Agreement That Disney Has With Universal Studios
It is interesting to know that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is actually Disney’s first ride which is based on Marvel. As there is a license agreement between Universal Studios and Disney, Disney cannot use a lot of characters from Marvel at the parks of the US. But then this condition is applicable only to those parks that are the east of the Mississippi River. The agreement becomes void for the Guardians of the Galaxy.
There are some Disney parks that showcase Marvel’s attractions like that of Avengers. These parks include Disneyland Hongkong and Disneyland Paris. The new attraction is a one-of-a-kind “story coaster” that will convey a story about the Guardians, Celestial Eson, and Nova Corps. Also, riders will be able to view the story unfold in 360 degrees. They will also be able to experience Disney World’s first-ever “reverse launch” coaster.
