As we reported earlier this summer, Disney has bought out Marvel Comics for a big chunk of $$$ to expand their empire into the superhero realm.
The industry has been waiting to see what the House of Mouse plans to do with its acquisition and now there are talks that the Disney execs will be looking to make big money off of relatively unknown superheros.
The theory going around is that Disney will be looking to make more original franchises out of Marvel characters few people have ever heard of, since the bigger names are already taken by other investors. Execs are hoping moviegoers will get attached to heroes like Ant-Man and other lame ass characters like that.
Yeah, we’d rather they put some of their dough into saving Spider-Man the musical than a movie about a guy who talks to ants, or whatever it is he does.
Don’t U agree?
