Will the Marvel Universe Ever Land at the Disney Parks?
Ok so it has been awhile since Marvel Entertainment was bought out for 4 Billion Dollars by Walt Disney Co. So far I have not really seen anything in the way of Marvel Characters or Merchandise come to the Disney Parks. I mean are we ever going to see Spiderman walking around Epcot? (I am sure climbing Space Ship Earth has to be tempting for him)
Will Iron Man ever walk down Main Street USA in Disneyland? How about being able to buy Ponyo Collectors Pins? I know Ponyo isn’t Marvel but isn’t Studio Ghibli owned by Walt Disney Pictures now?
I don’t know maybe I am just hopeful that one day I will be able to get my picture taken with Wolverine in front of Cinderella’s Castle or ride the newest Avengers ride in Tomorrowland. I am sure a bunch of legal stuff still has to take place so Disney can get exclusive rights to the characters. Just some news or information would be nice so I can atleast know what is going on.
I will say this about the merger I think Disney isn’t getting the best Marvel has to offer in way of movies. Think about it Spiderman has already had 3 BIG movies now, XMEN has already had their run at the box office, same thing goes for the other Marvel characters. I mean what else do they have up there sleeve as far as BIG BLOCKBUSTERS? Is Antman really going to sell out theaters? Will the Avengers have enough steam to push the Disney Marvel train ahead? I am crossing my fingers, just please don’t give us another Punisher movie..
I hope Marvel has some aces up its sleeves to make up the 4 billion price tag. I also hope that Disney will get their big, beautiful marketing maching going and get some Marvel presence at the parks. I know there are alot of people as excited as me out there!
What do you think? Do you want to see Marvel Characters at the Disney Parks? Should they stay at Universal or hanging up in my closet?
What about the upcoming Marvel movies? Anything you can’t wait to see?

This is pretty great information.But I would like to say Why? it's got Jeff Bridges in it, 2 versions in fact, one of him as he is now, and one that will be his avatar in the computer world, a CGI double with his face as it looked back in the 80's.
Hmm Universal Studios the name sounds familiar but I can't place it
Haven't you ever head of Islands of Adventure? You know, that OTHER park in Orlando (not disney) that has its own Marvel part of the park. Universal Studios? I guess to people who don't live in Florida, Disney is the only park there.
The lines are becoming harder and harder to tell now a days
Thanks Brad!
Disney doesn't own Studio Ghibli. They just distribute their films in the U.S.A.
