Heroes and villains from the silver screen will wow audiences when Marvel Universe LIVE! comes to Manchester Arena in January.

Marvel favourites including Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk and more will battle Loki and Marvel's most sinister villains in six 'epic' shows across four days.

Pre-sale tickets are on sale now costing between £18.70 and £55. Other tickets go on general sale on Friday, March 4.

It's the first time the Marvel Universe LIVE! tour has come to the UK, bringing with it 3D projection, the largest flying system ever used in an arena tour and a cast of 50.

Two years in the making, it's being hailed as 'the most technically advanced live show ever', with cutting-edge special effects, pyrotechnics, aerial stunts, martial arts, motorcycles and more.

Marvel Universe LIVE! utilises some of the latest innovations in arena set design and aerial pyrotechnics, with stunts developed by the team from Hollywood blockbuster, Thor, and the recent The Amazing Spider-Man films.
