The Guardians of the Galaxy are taking out Michael Jackson. Sort of. A new 3D preview of the upcoming Marvel film will replace the Captain EO film, starring Michael Jackson, at Disneyland in California beginning July 4. The same preview will appear at ABC Sound Studio in Disney's Hollywood Studios for Walt Disney World Florida fans. Don't worry though, EO is expected to return to the space later in the year. Read more about the Guardians of the Galaxy Disneyland preview below.
