Highlights
- Having Marvel and Star Wars in Disney Dreamlight Valley would add major excitement and potential to the game's character roster.
- The absence of Marvel and Star Wars characters in Disney Dreamlight Valley is a missed opportunity for the game developers.
- Marvel and Star Wars have iconic characters that could seamlessly fit into the Disney Dreamlight Valley setting and enhance the gameplay experience.
As Disney Dreamlight Valley expands, the developers would be missing out on some major opportunities if Marvel and Star Wars are not represented. One of the aims of the game is to let the player see Disney's best and brightest living in an Animal Crossing-esque world. Disney Dreamlight Valley has already pulled this off in a few regards, with Disney icons like Mickey and Donald as well as several classic films. Disney's umbrella has stretched further than its own animated canon, though. The developers may be remiss if they miss out on two major brands available to them.
The chance to spend time with iconic characters in Dreamlight Valley is one of the game's big selling points. After all, Disney's library goes back nearly a century, and it has churned out a fair share of popular films, cartoons, and characters. Even the launch roster of Disney Dreamlight Valley delivered on that front, including names such as:
- Mickey Mouse
- Donald Duck
- Ursula
- WALL-E
- Elsa
- Moana
- Scrooge McDuck
This cast of Disney all-stars is an impressive one for a game, and expansions have even more characters planned. The roster of characters may be the biggest reason to get excited about Disney Dreamlight Valley updates.

A brief teaser for Disney Dreamlight Valley's upcoming update may have revealed some major new content coming to the life simulator game.
Marvel and Star Wars Could Offer a Lot to Disney Dreamlight Valley
Marvel and Star Wars Are Major Properties Missing From Disney Dreamlight Valley
There are seemingly endless options for future characters in Disney Dreamlight Valley thanks to Disney's long animated canon. However, there are two major sources that the game hasn't pulled from at all. Both Marvel and Star Wars are owned by Disney, yet when it comes to Disney Dreamlight Valley, they have been completely left out. For a game that has been pulling out plenty of characters from some of Disney's biggest movies, this can't help but feel like a missed opportunity. There's no word on whether this will change, but it's something that the developers may want to take into account.
Marvel and Star Wars Have Long Lists of Popular and Famous Characters
One wouldn't have to look far to see the potential advantages of Marvel or Star Wars in Dreamlight Valley. Both are colossal franchises with name recognition and fanbases that are on par with the Disney brand itself. In addition, each has an impressive roster of iconic characters that could fill entire games on their own. In that case, games such as LEGO Star Wars and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 are solid proof of that point. Adding even one of these properties would inject Disney Dreamlight Valley with a universe full of popular characters and locations, let alone both, so the upside seems phenomenal.
Marvel and Star Wars Have Plenty of Characters That Could Fit Into Disney Dreamlight Valley's Setting
One thing that could be seen as an obstacle is audience expectations. Disney Dreamlight Valley is one of the more notable child-friendly games on Xbox Game Pass, and many superhero properties have trended in a more mature direction in recent years. However, that is not an insurmountable obstacle. Of course, no one would expect to see The Punisher in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but other established heroes like Spider-Man and The Hulk could fit perfectly into the game. The same is true for Star Wars, which has beloved figures such as Yoda and Luke Skywalker who could easily find a comfortable place in the valley.
Marvel and Star Wars are some of the biggest brands that Disney has at their disposal, and their absence from Disney Dreamlight Valley can't be ignored. The idea of the Guardians of the Galaxy in Disney Dreamlight Valley, or any other such big names would almost certainly generate a lot of buzz. As it stands, Disney is simply not using two of the biggest universes at its disposal for a game about bringing different worlds together. Without Marvel or Star Wars, it's hard to deny that Disney Dreamlight Valley is missing something important.
