as long as they don't fuck up the X-Men comics I'll be fine with it. I don't see them changing much of anything, and eagerly await the Mickey Mouse/Wolverine crossover.

I for one am looking forward to seeing the inevitable Miley Cyrus / Spider-Man duet, the mutants of waverly place TV series, and the suite life of the x-men on deck.

Well that's very interesting. Wonder what will happen to Universal Studios? They have a ton of Marvel rides and stuff. I'm sure that's the driving reason for this deal.  |

Perhaps this will lead to some Marvel stuff showing up on ABC?
And my vote for wacky crossover goes to Darkwing Duck vs. Punisher.

Wasn't Marvel almost bankrupt at some time in the past? Did the movies really turn them around this much?
In either case, good for them.

I'm way too lazy to check but yes I think the success of all their movies turned them around. Iron Man made a killing at the box office. Disney is king at reselling things in new packages so I would expect to see re-releases of tons of Marvel stuff.  |

Yeah I'm curious about that too. Found this commentary on it, sounds like Universal might still have the rights to use the characters in their park. Pretty crazy for Disney to own them, but Universal be able to use them. http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/200908/1370/ |

I didn't read the article yet but I would imagine that Universal bought licensing rights to use Marvel for a set period of time. Disney buying out Marvel wouldn't invalidate any kind of contract that they had before so it makes sense. When the contract ends they are hosed though. Question is how long do they have the contract?  *edit* Read the link and they make it sound like the contract didn't have a end date. This will end up with Universal lawyers vs. Disney lawyers I think. I've got my money on the Disney lawyers.  |

I don't know the history of Disney - do they usually integrate companies in? I thought they do some but not completely. For example ABC, ESPN, GO.com, were all acquisition - but Disney somewhat left them alone. So here's hoping that they just infuse a lot of cash for Marvel and have them continue making good products.

Does that mean The Incredibles are now part of the Marvel line?

If it's anything like Pixar then they won't mess with things at all. I don't see this really being any different. I'm sure you will see more Marvel stuff for sale though which can't be a bad thing. |

All kidding aside, Paramount's reminding people they have the next 5 Marvel Studios flicks locked up under contract (including Iron Man 2 and 3, and Thor), though it sounds like Disney wants to -- once that contract's over -- take over the distribution rights. Then that might be the point at which fans might start fretting about "Disneyfication" of the Marvel film properties. I could see Disney creating another separate movie label because sticking "Disney" on, say, a Punisher movie, might be a hard sell.  |
