According to Disney senior video president and chief financial officer Tom Staggs, "As the current agreements in place sunset we will look to exploit the library of characters more broadly."
"This is a big library of properties and we think there is real opportunity. We plan to evaluate where those opportunities are greatest and how we can leverage those across both Marvel and Disney."
Disney is a very conservative company and I will be saddened by a watered down "family friendly" Marvel.
Yeah, well, try buying porn with a Mastercard
However, I don't mean to be rude, but can someone please explain the logic behind why they fuck they did this for in the first place aside from getting 4 billion dollars?
$$$ 4 BILLION DOLLARS $$$
Hat you could have just summarised your reply in "they're a bunch of whores" =P
But I keep hoping that they've got some sort of motive aside from money, because Marvel Entertainment can't be doing too badly in the money category considering all the successed they've had by themselves.
the punisher
that is all
One good thing from this, no more terrible Fox Marvel movies. Soon, soon they will all come back to Marvel Studios
FANTASTIC FOUR
Despite the sale of Marvel Entertainment to Disney, "The Fantastic Four" will remain at Twentieth Century Fox. Variety reports Akiva Goldsman has been brought on to produce a reboot of the franchise. Michael Green, co-writers of "Green Lantern" has been tapped to provide the script. Since this is being classified as a reboot, it will, presumably, feature a completely new cast./quote]
It should also be noted that Goldsman's resume also includes such hits as I, Robot, Deep Blue Sea, Lost in Space and Batman & Robin.
I smell Oscar!
Also, I, Robot was decent. He was also only co-writer. Seriously, the dude's resume looks like a checklist of awful action movies.

I like how being a writer basically excuses someone from all responsibility for a movie

One of Marvel's latest ventures is motion comics. For those unfamiliar with the concept it is quite simply a half-way point between comics and full-blown animation. Currently, Spider-Woman, Agent of S.W.O.R.D. (Bendis and Maleev) is being serialised fortnightly with a serialised adaptation of Whedon and Cassaday's "Gifted" arc of Astonishing to come later in October.
More information here, plus a free live stream of the first Spider-Woman episode. (http://marvel.com/motion_comics)
So, what do you think? Does the format work commercially? How will the current merger between Disney and Marvel affect this?

You're an idiot who has been on the internet too long.
Disney bought Pixar. As a result, John Lasseter became CEO of Disney.
