Disney/ Marvel Merger
While it's basically a done deal and needing final approval from Marvel stockholders and a pass from some anti trust departments, this merger brings up some interesting points. What does this union mean for Universal theme parks? Universal uses Marvel characters in their parks, rides, roaming characters, merchandise, etc. Once the contractual obligations expire what’s to become of the theme parks? Will they go DC? Will we someday see those characters in Disney theme parks? Maybe a whole new theme park building on what Universal has.
Also what about movie distribution of the upcoming Marvel pics. What company will distribute Marvel movies? Will Disney keep Marvel Studios, merge them into one of their existing production companies, or create a new entity altogether? Marvel movies have been distributed by Marvel Studios as well as 20th Century Fox , Universal, New Line, and Lions Gate. What about Fox and X-Men? Will Sony sell the movie rights for Spider-Man? Hmmmmmmmmm.
Here’s a list of movies released from Disney owned studios..
Pulp FictionClerksTrainspottingTombstoneQuiz ShowGrosse Point BlankThe Sixth SenseThe Joy Luck ClubThe PianoThe CrowThe Royal TenenbaumsGood Morning, VietnamDead Poets SocietyThe RefThe English PatientShakespeare in LoveChasing AmyThe OthersConfessions of a Dangerous MindGangs of New YorkChicagoThe HoursKill BillThere Will Be BloodNo Country for Old Men
Though Bob Iger jokes about Spiderman appearing in the sequel to “A Bug’s Life”, it got me thinking of other crossovers/ wars I’d like to see as a result of the merger. Just for fun, I’m looking forward to THESE crossovers either in comic book form or movie form….
Pinocchio/Punisher crossover
Xmen/ Snow White & 7 Dwarves crossover
Dr Strange vs Aladdin vs Mickey as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice (from Fantasia)
Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers vs Ms Marvel and the Guardians of the Galaxy
Namor/Namorita vs Nemo/Little Mermaid
The Vision vs Wall-E /Tron
Robin Hood/ Hawkeye/ The 3 Musketeers cross over
The Incredibles/Avengers crossover
Howard the Duck vs Donald Duck
Spider Man vs Peter Pan
Fantastic Four vs Son of Flubber and Jack Sparrow
Black Panther vs Mowgli and Baloo
Ghost Rider & The Sons of Midnight vs The Apple Dumpling Gang w/ The Escape from Witch Mountain kids
Hulk vs The Beast (from Beauty and the Beast)
Daredevil/Goofy crossover
