Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Trocadero, the leisure group demerged from Burford Holdings last November, has signed an agreement to lease 20,000 square feet on four floors at the West End's premier entertainment complex to a new company, Marvel Mania, and to receive a turnover-related participation in the venture.

Marvel Mania is a joint venture between Robert Earl's restaurant chain Planet Hollywood International, recently successfully floated in the US, and Ronald Pearlman's Marvel Entertainment Group of the US. Trocadero says Marvel Mania will establish one of the world's largest themed restaurants based on the Marvel comic book cult heroes Spiderman, Captain America, the Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer. The concept will also include themed retail space.

The development of Marvel Mania's site is subject to planning permission being granted.
