Disney has run out of original material.

This way they now have over 5,000 new stories. Whether it be live action films or animated series, they're gonna be making some cash, because that is what they know how to do.

I just wonder if they will screw up the themes at all?

I wonder if they will build some GOOD roller coaster at there parks with any marvel themes.

I can see it now, kids getting their pictures taken with Mickey Mouse on one side and Venom on the other. lol

I'm sure Disney already has their imagineers designing a whole other part to the parks for a Marvel world. That's to big of a commodity for them not to do it.

I doubt they're gonna let Wolverine still smoke cigars.

Disney is evil.

That's awesome!! Two characters with the same name. I wonder if anyone at Disney thought of that?

Disney is evil.

I've been saying that for years.

Doesnt Marvel have a deal with Six Flags? Or is it DC?

Six Flags and DC are teamed up. Superman the ride.

 

[bajafox]

That's right.

This will definetely be an interesting merger

I'd kinda like to see a new theme park out of it.. but sadly, like the new Simpsons ride at Universal, they'll all probably be motion based.

 

[Mike @ pit b]

It's already begun...
