The deal for Disney to acquire Marvel has not yet gone through; they are hoping it will be completed by the end of 2009 or early 2010. What Disney may do with the Marvel characters can only be determined at that time, although currently Disney's XD channel (formerly Toon Disney) shows a number of Marvel shows, such as X-Men Evolution and Spiderman. Disney also owns the rights to Batman: The Animated Series, which is a DC Comics property (rival of Marvel). I would assume that Disney Theme Parks will start to have Marvel rides and characters. Perhaps Hulk Mountain or something.
No. They are two separate companies. DC:Batman, Superman, Green Lantern. Marvel: Spiderman, the X-men Iron Man.
So, Marvel/Disney owns the rights to Spider-Man comics. If Spider-Man appears on film it is under the control of Sony Pictures. Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man movies. Spider-Man merchandise is owned and controlled by Marvel Comics (and Disney – the parent company of Marvel Comics).
Technically, Spider Man is a comic book super hero, belonging to the Marvel comics. But since the Disney company bought out Marvel last year, that would mean that Disney now owns Spider Man. But that does not necessarily make him a "Disney character," since he was created long before Disney "owned" him.
Because Avengers are owned by Disney/Marvel Studios & the other characters are not. Disney/Marvel don't own the rights to them, although Marvel in 2016 acquired the movie rights which is why he appeared in Marvel's Captain America Civil War
There's Yellow Claw, published by Marvel Publishing, Yelena Rossini published by vertigo, Yandroth published by Marvel Publishing, and many more that stuck out to me at comicvine.com under the character section letter Y.
Stan Lee didn't sell Marvel Comics himself; Marvel Entertainment, the parent company of Marvel Comics, was sold to The Walt Disney Company in 2009. The sale was primarily driven by financial reasons and the opportunity for Disney to acquire a wide range of popular characters for their media empire.
No. They are two separate companies. DC:Batman, Superman, Green Lantern. Marvel: Spiderman, the X-men Iron Man.
Marvel Comics has been involved in various exchange deals with other comics publishers over the years. Some notable exchanges include trading characters with DC Comics in the past. Additionally, Marvel has collaborated with companies like Image Comics and Valiant Comics for crossover events.
yes he gave marvel comics to disney. DISNEY.
No, Warner Bros and Marvel are separate entities and have not worked together. Warner Bros is a part of WarnerMedia and primarily produces DC Comics-based films, while Marvel Studios, owned by Disney, creates films based on Marvel Comics characters.
So, Marvel/Disney owns the rights to Spider-Man comics. If Spider-Man appears on film it is under the control of Sony Pictures. Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man movies. Spider-Man merchandise is owned and controlled by Marvel Comics (and Disney – the parent company of Marvel Comics).
Comics and the characters created for them
No, Batgirl is a DC Comics character, specifically associated with the Batman series. Marvel Comics has its own distinct set of superheroes and characters.
Marvel Comics was founded by Martin Goodman in 1939. The company was later bought by The Walt Disney Company in 2009.
The very first Marvel comic book was "Marvel Comics #1," published in 1939. This issue featured the debut of characters like the Human Torch and Namor the Sub-Mariner.
Technically, Spider Man is a comic book super hero, belonging to the Marvel comics. But since the Disney company bought out Marvel last year, that would mean that Disney now owns Spider Man. But that does not necessarily make him a "Disney character," since he was created long before Disney "owned" him.
