I hear Disney is looking to buy the rights to Iron man, Avengers, Cap and Thor. It seems Disney want full control of Marvel characters, which is not bad and I know Disney will probably use the characters wisely, but anyone have any ideas of what they have planned.

On Newsarama last night... blog.newsarama.com/2010/10/18/disney-gets-avengers-and-iron-man-3-im3-gets-date/According to the Heat Vision blog of The Hollywood Reporter, Disney acquired today the distribution rights for gAvengersh and gIron Man 3. After the acquisition, Disney and Marvel prompty announced a date of May 3, 2013 for the thrid installment in the Iron Man series. The report indicates that original distributor Paramount will receive $115 million in exchange for the pair of films, regardless of performance. You can read all of the details here. Our Take: This is nothing but win for all involved. Paramount makes bank on two big movies without doing a thing. The two films will make and merchandise more than enough to make Disney happy (serious, they stand to crush over $100 million on DVDs alone). Itfs an added little boost to the debut of the Avengers animated series on DisneyXD this week. Paramount still gets to put out gCaph and gThorh, not to mention actually devoting more time to the other franchises that it has already rebuilt (Star Trek) or are revamping (Mission: Impossible, Jack Ryan, etc.). This is a GREAT move. The only possible downside is that if Cap and Thor are hits, Disney may want to pony up again. In that case, Ifd bet that Paramount makes them pay more dearly. My other question in all of this would be: If Hulk is in Avengers, and Hulk is also bound for TV, is the intention of Disney to pay up for Mark Ruffalo in order to make him TVfs Bruce Banner?
