Celestial Eson Revealed as Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Antagonist

Ahead of the official opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, more details continue to come out about EPCOT’s new attraction. Today, Marvel.com revealed that Eson will be the antagonist.

The Celestial named Eson will make an unexpected appearance when visitors are visiting the Wonders of Xandar pavilion at EPCOT. Eson is looking to “right a wrong in a big way” and it will be up to the Guardians of the Galaxy to step in to save the day. However, they won’t be able to do it alone. Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot will need help in stopping Eson from completing his master plan.

How exactly visitors will be helping the Guardians of the Galaxy isn’t known at this point. However, whatever it is there will most likely be a solid beat to it.

Eson may be a bit unfamiliar to those visiting the Wonders of Xandar pavilion. However, the Guardians already know him. They haven’t crossed paths before but Eson once possessed the Power Stone. This is one of the six Infinity Stones and the group learned about it in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Now Eson has his sights set on Earth.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will be publicly welcoming guests for the first time to the Wonders of Xandar on May 27, 2022. This family-thrill attraction is being billed as a “story coaster.” Throughout the course of the experiences, guests will find themselves being rotated 360-degrees around as their focus is directed to different parts of the attraction. It will also feature the first reverse launch on a coaster to be found in the Disney Parks.
