SUPER heroes and villains from the Marvel films and comic books are set to thrill North-East audiences.

The Marvel Universe LIVE! Tour will make its debut stop-off at the Metro Radio Arena, in Newcastle, from November 21 to 24 next year.

Produced by Feld Entertainment, this all-new show will see Spider-Man, The Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy join forces with Doctor Strange, master of the mystic arts, in a race against time to recover the Wand of Watoomb before it falls into Loki’s hands.

Juliette Feld, producer, said: “The show creates an experience that immerses families in non-stop action, creating movie-style thrills and jaw-dropping stunts that showcase the powers of your favourite Super Heroes right before your eyes.”

Stan Lee, the co-creator of Marvel Comics, died aged 95 on Monday.

Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday from the booking hotline number 08444-936666, online at metroradioarena.co.uk and from 11am at the Metro Radio Arena Box Office.
