Wow. Really???
My 1st thought is why? But Warner does own DC Comics, so I guess it's about time that Marvel got swallowed up.
Sadly, though, I personally always thought that Warners ownership of DC stifled the use of their character library. Warner, as an old school kind of corp really hasn't taken much risk with the DC characters. They pretty much have only been putting out Batman and Superman movies.
There were critics that thought Iron man was too obscure to really do well at the box office, but it was Marvel Ent that pushed the project and took the risk. I don't know that Disney will take those types of risks...
Also did anyone actually read the deal? It doesn't really seem that good for Disney as many of the better characters have already been licensed out for projects.

I've read that it'll continue there until Universal no longer wants it, as long as they abide by the contract.

Word is Stan Lee will be staying on with "creative control" not sure what this means, but I hope it means he will still have the rubber stamp.

Does Stan Lee have any creative control now? I thought he was pretty much through with Marvel...

This was taken from a recent interview with Stan:
Stan Lee: Believe it or not, I have never left Marvel. I'm still the Chairman Emeritus and I still write the Spider-Man newspaper script and I still do as much publicity for Marvel as I can. But I have a clause in my contract that says that I can also do other things. And since I feel I've written enough comics now, I've been at it for half a century, I thought it would be fun to start my own company and do movies and television and DVD's and things like that. The Spider man Movies are my baby now.

My biggest question in this take over has to do with the Marvel Characters being used at the amusement parks. Will the ones at Universal Studios be discontinued and transfered over to WDW?

I can see it now... Iron Man 2 will become a teen romp, Tony stark will have kids and it'll be turned into a musical with the nemesis being Myley Cyrus and the Jonas brothers Starks sons... my god... what have they done!

Ah right! Thanks UFP... I knew he still did the Spider-Man Daily comics, but I assumed that was a deal he got when he split from Marvel. Hmmmm... so Stan Lee thinks he can make Movies? And Spider-Man to boot? Interesting... I guess it's all about the people he surrounds himself with... I think if he gets good writers and good director and doesn't muck around in the details too much we could get some more good spiderman movies.
