According to DLRP Express Disneyland Paris is introducing a new meet & greet character at the Walt Disney Studios Park! From March until July 2014 guests can meet Marvel's Spiderman at the former office of Bureau Passport Annuel, next to Blockbuster Café which also has a Marvel theme (Iron Man).
That would be cool, not enough characters for boys in my opinion (not saying that girls can't go see spiderman!!) in our hotel lifts there were 3 different advertisement posters, one was Princess Sofia, one was Frozen and the last one was Spiderman :-)
I know it's off topic slightly, but with Disney now having rights does that mean Spiderman isn't in Universal Studios anymore? I met him there when I went to Florida in 2006. Am guessing the ride still is though!
Brilliant news! Hope it's soon Spiderman and friends.....Thor / Captain America/Ironman would all be cool!
Fantastic news! Does it say from which date in March? Or just from 1st March-1st July... or??

Currently unknown.
The first announcement was "halfway through March".
But the second announcement just said "March until July".
So we just have to wait and see I guess.

Thanx for the info. We go on the 17th so will be keeping an eye out for him! :)
Hopefully this could be the start of a more of a marvel presence like what has been seen in the US with Thor and soon Captain America meet and greets
I think it is a great idea. I hope this becomes a permanent addition to the park. I would love to meet Spiderman.
In answer to the question about if Spiderman is still at Universal studios in America I believe the deal between Disney and Universal when Disney brought Marvel means in Walt Disney World they aren't allowed to use Marvel characters and they will remain at Universal.
Please correct me if I am wrong this is from memory from a few years ago.
My son would be so amazed to see him (and my husband actually ;) ) hope he's there 10th march!! ;D may pack the Spider-Man costume now too! ;)

Yes. From what fans have gathered over the years the deal is that Universal can keep Marvel in their parks but I think anywhere outside of East US Disney can do what they like. So WDW can't touch Marvel until Universal finishes the deal.
I'm quite excited about this new meet and greet, sounds like a good tie-in promotion with the film?

Thor, yes please ha x
I wonder why you say that ;)
In all seriousness though having the introduction of these kinds of characters to backlot could give the area a bit more life

Cool! ;D
Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh what happened to March?! I was so excited for my little boy to meet his hero! Flaming DLP and their non commital to dates until the last possible minute! :-X
Sorry for posting in this slightly old topic, but I was wondering, is he staying until June or July? Here you've been commenting July, but on some other sites I've been reading June, and I don't know which one to believe...
His photolocation sure does look nice though! Love that even the photographers follow the Daily Bugle theme!

Until 10th July we were told. My son met him three weeks ago. The queue moves very slowly as Spider-Man spends quite a bit of time with each famiły. We got there at 10:10 (he doesn't start until 10:45) and were 7th in queue and were prob there an hour and a half.
Spiderman appearances have been extended until 30th September according to this article (http://radiodisneyclub.fr/disneyland-paris-spider-man-prolonge-30-septembre/) .
I see, that's good to hear! Thanks for your replies! ;D
As for the long queue, it was to be expected. After all, Spiderman has always been quite chatty ;)
Spider-Man is now staying until 31st August with no confirmed end date.

Hopefully I can get it in November ;D And ofcourse a will buy the photo souvenir pass+
