Disney To Distribute 'The Avengers' &' Iron Man 3'
Source: The Walt Disney Company
Yesterday, Disney bought back the worldwide distribution and marketing rights to The Avengers and Iron Man 3 from Paramount Pictures, who's deal with Marvel Studios resulted in the Iron Man franchise thus far.
Paramount will still release Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor next summer, but will receive $115 million upon release of the above mentioned films. Iron Man 3 was also given a tentative release date of May 3rd, 2013.
"In completing this agreement, Disney will now assume worldwide marketing and distribution of 'The Avengers' and 'Iron Man 3' and leverage these two highly-anticipated films across the multiple global platforms of The Walt Disney Company," said Rich Ross, Chairman of The Walt Disney Studios. "We appreciate the tremendous momentum that Paramount established with these iconic Marvel characters and look forward to propelling the brand even further in the coming years."
"Five years ago, when Paramount and Marvel made our initial deal, both our businesses were in very different places," said Brad Grey, Chairman & CEO of Paramount Pictures. "We are grateful for the partnership we have had with the terrific Marvel team over these years and proud of the work we have done together. Today, this new agreement is the right deal for Paramount, for Marvel and for Disney. We look forward to working together on 'Thor' and 'Captain America,' and we wish Disney and Marvel the utmost success, in what we know will be a very productive and wide-ranging partnership."
"Paramount has been a wonderful partner in helping Marvel Studios bring our characters to the big screen," said Alan Fine, Office of the President, Marvel Worldwide, Inc. "This agreement makes sense now that Marvel is part of The Walt Disney Company."

@mjtfreeze: no worries, Disney will most likely pursue the other careers in a few years as well despite the difficulties in obtaining them. Be patient, they will all come together one day
@Zev: I've seen the photoshop pictures of Kingdom Hearts/Marvel and I still say it is a bad ass idea

@QbanKnight: Thanks, now I know, and knowing is half the battle GEEEEEEEE IIIIII JOOOOOOOOOOOOE. I'm not going to lie, I am slightly disappointed by what you told me. I thought because Disney/Marvel cancelled Spectacular Spider-Man to make Ultimate Spider-Man, they got the rights to do the movie as well. But hey, at least they have another chance to do Spider-Man?characters properly. Hopefully one day, Marvel will have the rights back for the movies. TILL ALL ARE ONE.
