Disney to buy Marvel

[Sherman Davies]

No - as I said in my above post, Marvel is honoring its long-term deal with Universal Studios Islands of Adventure Theme Park. Any Marvel rides for the forseeable future will only be in Disney parks outside of Disney World (ie: Disneyland in California, EuroDisney, etc...)

Here's the first thing I found that Disney may do

In their coverage of the Disney/Marvel deal, Entertainment Weekly dropped a cryptic bit of news which, if accurate, could be cause for excitement:

"Pixar is said to already be eyeballing an 'Ant-Man' movie."

As regular readers know, Marvel has been developing 'Ant-Man' for many years and, at one point, it was seen as part of the run-up to the 'Avengers' mega-film. Director Edgar Wright ('Shaun of the Dead') has been developing the feature for Marvel and has written a script. As recently as last July he said he aims to return to work on the screenplay after 'Scott Pilgrim' is done. EW offers no details beyond the above statement, so it's unclear how strong the interest is on Pixar's part, or whether or not Marvel is abandoning Wright's take in order to bounce to project to their new hit-making partners at Disney.

And so it begins. Maybe.

The teaser for the the NPR news quiz show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" last week was:

"Now that Disney owns Marvel, The Punisher can terminate the entire cast of Hannah Montana."

(Head spinning.) Haven't we talked about this? (Feeling nauseous) Last week? (kind of dizzy)The Punisher wouldn't kill children. Unless they were breaking major laws. (Some sort of time loop) Hannah and the Suite Life boys in a major drug war with each other. Frank shows up. Kills everybody. "Sweet Life my @$$." he mutters as he pops another clip into his .45. (And a phone is going to ring...........Now.)

Those shows violate all kinds of laws of good taste. Frank wouldn't blink.

I really don't think this will effect Heroscape, except for the fact of no more Marvel Scape. Then, the movies will be the same, as well as the comics. I think they will keep the artists and writers, but just add stuff. Maybe a Mickey Mouse comic.
What I would like to see is some Marvel rides at Disney World.
