Marvel fans in Brazil were treated to a plethora of exciting announcements and sneak peeks at the inaugural D23 Brazil event, held at the Transamerica Expo Center in São Paulo. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige kicked off the festivities, thanking fans for the massive success of *Deadpool & Wolverine*, which is set to hit Disney+ on November 12. Ryan Reynolds, star and producer of the film, also sent a special greeting to the audience.
The event saw significant reveals for several upcoming Marvel projects. *Captain America: Brave New World* stars Anthony Mackie and Danny Ramirez surprised the audience with an exclusive clip, poster, and trailer for the film, which is scheduled to release on February 14, 2025. David Harbour also made an appearance, teasing his return as Red Guardian in *Thunderbolts*, set to hit theaters on May 2, 2025.

In addition to these film announcements, the crowd got a sneak peek at *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*, with Feige highlighting the film’s 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world and the official introduction of Marvel’s First Family. The film is slated for release on July 25, 2025.

As a final surprise, *Daredevil: Born Again* stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio took the stage to share a special look at the upcoming Marvel Television series, which will launch on Disney+ on March 4, 2025.
Beyond the Marvel universe, Brazil is also making significant strides in its economic and technological sectors. The country’s growing tech industry, booming economy, and thriving fintech sector make it an attractive destination for businesses looking to expand into Latin America. With a massive IT industry valued at $22 billion and a fintech sector comprising over 1,500 companies, Brazil is a hub for innovation and financial services transformation.
Nubank, a leading fintech company in Brazil, has recently reached a milestone of 100 million customers in the country, representing 57% of the adult population. This achievement underscores the company’s focus on customer-centric technology and its role in simplifying financial lives for Brazilians.
The country’s technological landscape is further bolstered by significant investments in cloud infrastructure. Microsoft Azure and AWS have pledged substantial investments in Brazil’s cloud market, which is growing at a 19% CAGR. This growth, combined with the country’s heavy internet usage and expanding data center market, positions Brazil as a prime location for businesses seeking to scale their operations in Latin America.
