You probably mean Summer 2017? I think its too early to do a Marvel Hero Summer. They only have the Iron Man building and its gift shop. Not enough Marvel atmosphere. Better to wait after they re-imagineered the Buzz Lightyear ride.

I found some pictures, they should be related to Marvel Summer

Super Disney summer with heroes and a new hotel

Hong Kong Disneyland's Marvel fun this summer will include a walk-through experience, more superheroes and a Marvel-themed race.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the new resort hotel Disney Explorers Lodge yesterday, Samuel Lau Wing-kee, executive vice president and managing director, said its meetings, incentives, conferences and events business has recorded double-digit growth.

The Pavilion will be turned into Marvel Universe this summer, providing a new walk-through for guests, in which they will need to complete a mission to protect the Portal Nexus with the superheroes who include Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Dr Strange and Starlord in a story set in Hong Kong.

Captain America and Spider-Man will join Iron Man to meet the guests inside the park.

In addition, the park will hold a 10-kilometer run with Marvel as the theme in mid-September.

Lau hoped the park will not only attract families, but also corporations to organize events for employees, especially during non-peak periods.

Lau said the team has been doing preparation work for the expansion.

With the launch of a Frozen-themed attraction in the future, adding to the newly launched Marvel attraction, Lau believes the competitiveness of the park will be enhanced.

Lau said the new hotel has received positive feedback from guests and the occupancy rate is expected to be satisfactory.

Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying said the expansion project, together with the completion of the major cross- boundary infrastructures in the next few years, will bring in more visitors.

"All these will present enormous opportunities for Disneyland, the tourism sector and Hong Kong as a whole."

Michelle Yu Hoi-yan, landscape designer of Walt Disney imagineering, said guests can find over 700 plant species - 400 types of trees and 300 types of shrubs - in the gardens, which have more than 170,000 plants.

The number of international tourists to the park, including those from India, South Korea, Japan and the Philippines, has increased since October last year.

Right on course at Disneyland
City Talk | 21 Sep 2017

Hong Kong Disneyland partnered with AIA Vitality for its second charity run, which attracted more than 10,000 participants and a big crowd to the park.

Officiating guests of the Sunday events were Disneyland managing director Samuel Lau Wing-kee, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po and Disney's Asia head Bill Ernest.

Ernest, a famously friendly sort of person, has also been managing director of the local Disneyland. He looks just as radiant as when I last saw him a few years ago.

Many local celebrities took part in the new Spider-Man three-kilometer event. Among those I spotted were WKK International heir Vinci Wong Yin-chi and lawmaker Holden Chow Ho-ding.

Members of the tourism industry also turned out in force, and along with them was Tourism Board corporate affairs general manager Cynthia Leung, who I talked to before the race.

Leung is a keen runner, which I guess is why she is able to maintain a perfect physique despite having ample opportunities to sample delicacies. The 3km run must be a piece of cake for her.

I also saw Hong Kong China Travel Service assistant general manager Perry Yiu Pak-leung, who also looked to be in top shape. I noticed his strong calf muscles and asked if he went jogging often. He laughed and told me his favorite sport is football, though he only plays about once a month.

The day was a bit hot and hazy, but as the route took runners past the main entrance it seemed to me all of them were able to give the race their best shot.

Chow may not look the outdoor type but he was fast, finishing the race in under 20 minutes.

Perry Yiu lived up to his fit look and took second prize. That was when it was pointed out that Yiu, a graduate of the Chinese University department of sports science and physical education, worked as a physical education teacher before joining China Travel Service. So no surprise he did well.

Besides being in good physical shape Yiu is also enthusiastic in going about public duties and is a member of the Kwun Tong District Council.
