Marvel Studios launched its New Year’s Eve Music Show online, and you can watch it above! Organized by Chinese bilibili, the musical event was held in China, which already celebrated the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. Now, other Marvel fans around the world can join Chinese fans bringing the new year to the sound of the Universe Cinematographic Marvel, played by a complete orchestra. As you can see (and hear) above, the performance was quite epic, with the orchestra bringing greatness to the sounds, while a light show dazzled the eyes.
The production of this “Musical Show” is truly something to marvel at (pun intended). The whole thing looks great, from the laser and lighting effects to the various MCU visual odes we receive. The progression of the musical score is perfectly synchronized with the visual construction, delivering a journey through some of the most familiar melodies and openings in the MCU films, building for that epic (and now classic) Avengers theme, which is now known worldwide.
The way the stage show builds is also classic MCU marketing, starting with the logo, then a teaser of the Avengers members behind red strips, which rise at the peak to reveal (statues? Holograms?) Each original member of the Avengers. It is really an entire show packed in five minutes. Marvel fans can (and will undoubtedly find) find fun ways to use this performance to count down the last minutes of 2020. If you can time the ball to fall until the maestro raises his fist with his Gauntlet of Infinity, you win.

Above you can find the official announcement of the Marvel Studios New Year’s Eve Music Show, by Marvel Studios director Kevin Feige. You can read the transcript of your ad, below:
“Hello to all Marvel fans in China, I’m Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios. 2020 was an unusual year for all of us, but together we keep hope alive in the face of unprecedented challenges, but never stopped telling hero stories. Next year, Marvel Studios will continue to bring stories to the big screen, including Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, as Eternals, welcoming a new era in the Marvel cinematic universe.
Before that, there will also be a Marvel New Year themed presentation to welcome the New Year. Tune in at the Bilibili New Year’s Gala on December 31 and get a glimpse of what’s to come in 2021. “
Although we now have footage from the Marvel Studios musical show, that “glimpse of what’s to come in 2021” has yet to hit the Internet … yet.
