Fans of Marvel comics will be pleased to hear that two more characters have been announced for Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes, namely Falcon and Yondu
From the press release:
Pararescue veteran Sam Wilson, codename Falcon, soars into Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes. As Captain America's closest ally, Falcon's an indispensable addition to the Marvel's Avengers Play Set and Toy Box 2.0. With his EXO-7 wing pack and Hardlight Feathers, evil doesn't stand a chance against his aerial assaults. Other characters can also fly like Falcon when players use the Falcon's Wings Power Disc.
From deepest space comes Yondu, leader of the outlaw band known as the Ravagers. Whether he's trying to outwit the Guardians of the Galaxy or face off against a squadron of Sakaarans, Yondu will do anything to come out on top. With his whistle-powered flying arrow and devastating combat skills, Yondu is truly a force to be reckoned with. He will be playable in both the Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set and Toy Box 2.0. Yondu will also be making an appearance in the Marvel Team-Up: Yondu Power Disc. When players place the Power Disc on the Disney Infinity base, they can fight alongside the powerful, arrow-shooting ally, and send enemies running for their lives.
Both characters will be on UK shelves next year, Disney Infinity 2.0 will be available on the 18th and 23rd of September in Europe and North America respectively.

What happens if we have the ally power disk? They really need to dig into Marvel's history instead of focusing on the ones already being represented. Big Hero 6 is also branded under "Disney Originals" despite being part of Marvel. Disney only rebooted them
@Mega719 I see someone like Disney slowly fading out the name Marvel altogether and just using Disney, or Disney Originals as the branding. Makes sense from a business point of view.
@FragRed just focusing on a few Marvel franchises then end when the potential Star Wars sequel gets released is a wasted opportunity. If you want the game to make you billions then give the people the characters they want
@Mega719 I want more Marvel characters, couldn't care less about Star Wars!
@Extremist exactly what i'm talking about
I'm really looking forward to both these characters and I'm thrilled there'll be more playset characters being released later. I never have any incentive to get Toy Box only ones, so my Disney Infinity 1.0 experience was over pretty quickly.
@Mega719 It has already been confirmed that Marvel will continue to be supported in future iterations. Also, Marvel has nothing to do with the new Big Hero 6 movie, it is only the names of the characters which are the same. It is a completely Disney movie.
EDIT: Also, the team-up disc works with Yondu as well. It's a bit weird considering that he'll be fighting alongside himself. But it's also weird that you can play as Ronan to take down Ronan, so... Meh?
@FragRed - Fading out Marvel? Completely? Because 20 year old men want to buy a Hulk comic with Disney spread across the top? If youve been following Disney at all you would know Disney = princesses and the girl market, Marvel =superheroes and boy market. Marvel is never ever going away. Movies, comics, toys, videogames. Disney isnt going away either.
Personally Ive had enough superheroes, wheres Bambi and Pinocchio and Simba and Dumbo? Why is Disney Originals predominantly Pixar? At least we're getting Tinkerbell, but Jiminy Cricket deserved 1 too.
No matter how many times I see that version of Yondu...I still think it isnt Yondu.
There'll always be the comics I guess.
If only I didn't have to collect toys..
The fact that Yondu is both playable and a disc-added ally is redundant. I say pick one or the other.
I would've picked Deadpool anyways.
Nice
@UnseatingKDawg Putting Deadpool in the game would bring Disney Infinity from Everyone to Mature 17+ (because anything below that rating, and it simply wouldn't be Deadpool).
@Chubblings: Deadpool was in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, and that was rated E10+. Plus he was pretty goofy in that. So yeah, I think they could put him in DI 2.0.
Not everything involving Deadpool has to be mature.
I suppose you're right, but the reason I thought it would be a bad idea was, Disney recently had Deadpool make an appearance in their TV Show, Ultimate Spiderman, and it was awful (first of all Nolan North didn't do VA, which is weird considering he did Lego Marvel, and the jokes and everything were really watered down, although that could just be due to the show's bad writing as well). Believe me though, I also would love for Deadpool to be in DI 2.0, but if they do it, Nolan North better be voice acting.
@Nik-Davies Disney licenced the property which they then recreated but that doesn't make it a Disney property. Same with The Lone Ranger
@BertoFlyingFox That's ridiculondu.
Falcon, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marvel & Disney confirmed at SDCC that nobody who's connected to the X-Men will be in the game (Deadpool included). The main reason for this (& the exclusion of the Fantastic Four) is because they don't want to give Fox free advertising. This is also why neither the X-Men or the F4 got a cartoon or marketing push in the last few years. Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch will likely be the exceptions in 3.0 due to their connections to the Avengers & their inclusion in Avengers: Age of Ultron, & I say 3.0 because Yondu & Falcon are the last Marvel figures for 2.0. We're gonna get 2 more Disney Originals (one of which is a girl for sure). But after that, it's done, no more new characters for 2.0.
In other news, Falcon will get a Power Disc that gives him his Winter Soldier costume. As for Yondu, the only reason he got promoted to a playable character is because Guardians of the Galaxy turned out to be a mega-hit in both the box office & on Disney Infinity (Rocket Raccoon is the best-selling solo figure, & the GotG play set is the best selling play set) & that Yondu already had a model ready. It was really a matter of adding more details.
@UnseatingKDawg We're not getting Deadpool, but not because he would increase the rating (which he wouldn't).
