This week Euro Disney, the company that runs Disneyland Paris, signed a new deal with the French government that will allow them to continue building on the site in Marne-la-Vallée, outside of Paris, through 2030.

Plans are to build a new theme park to accompany Disneyland Paris, which opened in 1992, and the adjoining Walt Disney Studios, which opened 10 years later. According to the Telegraph, the company is considering a "superheroes park" for that third park:

Philippe Gas, the chief executive of Euro Disney, said one idea for a third park is "a superheroes park" following the acquisition of Marvel by Disney - although the construction of a third park is a long-term vision. Mr Gas said there is a possibility that a decision to build a third park could come as late as 2020, although it may come earlier if planned work on the Disney Studios park is completed.

It's not surprising that Disney would consider using the Marvel stable in their theme parks; while they're locked out of Walt Disney World in Florida due to licensing agreements Marvel had in place with Universal before the acquisition, there's no reason why they couldn't have Spider-Man and X-Men themed rides in France.
