Nein. The five movies already set up at Paramount (IRON MAN 2, THOR, CAPTAIN AMERICA, THE AVENGERS, and one, more, unannounced film, probably IRON MAN 3) still have those deals intact. Disney wants to distribute fully somewhere down the line, but those deals are in stone.

Iron Man is Marvel's, outright, but Paramount will suck dry all distribution milk. Sony has 'Spider-Man and Marvel gets a cut. 20th Century Fox has 'Fantastic Four' and 'X-Men'. But the next move Marvel has planned, The Avengers, is in question now. This Disney deal could end it all.

This is indeed bad news, in my opinion. I just wanted to comment on the idea that Marvel productions may likely get a financial budget boost, but at what cost? We need not see superhero movies move more and more towards the likes of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Elektra and Fantastic Four, meaning either crappy or too family-oriented… we need good, well-rounded stories with high production value and a focus on characters, not JUST the marketing of the film to little kids.

Many feel — me included — that being owned by the Mouse House will curb the edge of the comics and force them to be more family friendly. Disney has stated this will not happen but time will tell.

At the same time, my family and I love Universal Studios in Florida and the Marvel area is one of our favorites — especially the Spider-Man ride. Some fans of that theme park fear that Disney pulled this move as part of their war against their rival theme park. Will Universal be forced to give up the Marvel franchise or do it voluntarily so they won't have to pay a rental check to their main competition? I'm still irate that Universal closed down the kick-butt Back to the Future Ride for a Simpsons Ride. If they close down their entire Marvel area, we may have to stop visiting.

One positive thing about this purchase is that the films and TV shows based on Marvel heroes will receive a huge boost of financing and hopefully creativity from the powerful Disney entertainment machine. If nothing else, I look forward to seeing what the result of that partnership will bring in the future.

For now, I'll spend the next few days kicking myself for not owning Marvel stock.
