Recently, it was announced that Disney had bought the distribution rights from Paramount for The Avengers movie and the next Iron Man sequel. While this is not a huge surprise given that most people assumed the movies were Disney's primary reason for buying Marvel Comics, it does raise many questions. The biggest of these questions is what other properties is Disney going to buy. There is a lot of speculation about this question and here is what I think Disney should do.
I think that Disney should go ahead and buy the rest of the Marvel movie properties. This would be a good idea because it would allow characters like the X-men and Spider-man to crossover with the Avengers. And given that Spider-man is in the process of being rebooted this is the perfect time for Disney to buy the rights to the character's movies. For the X-men, it would not matter if Disney bought the rights without the property being rebooted because the X-men have always sort of been off in their own little corner of the Marvel Universe.
I don't think Disney will buy all of Marvel's movie properties because of the studios that currently own the properties not being willing to sell them, but I hope that Disney at least tries. Hopefully, there will be more news on Disney's plans in the next few weeks.
