Is anyone really surprised?

Certain Disney publicists have already been telling members of the press that Iron Man 3 will definitely be distributed and branded with the Walt Disney logo [not Paramount].

Rumblings we are hearing say there are a couple different scenarios that Disney may explore with Paramount. The first would be to allow Paramount to distribute Thor but joint teams Disney/Paramount with Disney supervisors calling the shots regarding marketing and publicity.

One thing is for certain, Disney does not want any help from Paramount on Captain America and The Avengers. We are hearing Disney would consider allowing Paramount to distribute Iron Man 3 but that there is no way in hell a Paramount logo would be seen on either the Cap or Avenger films.

Another option Disney is considering is paying off Paramount the dollar amount they would be expected to make from the four remaining films in their contract (in the 200 and 250 million dollar range) which is approximately four
 

This could be interesting, I don't think we will see paramount go easy, Iron Man has been a real tent pole movie for them, the super hero effect is great for a studio. However I'll root for Disney on this occasion they have some great people behind them and I'd love to see what they can do with a super hero film.

Good thing I hate Marvel or this would really upset me...

@.Mistress Redhead.:
let me  give  you a small history  lesion  on Marvless World of Disney and they  operate with them owning  The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers  ( I knowmost of you are rolling your eyes over this  ,but please hear me out and follow me on this ) as we all know  from 1993 – 1995  The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers   was on Tv  it  " Morph" other  vertions  there after up the early 2000's , then one  day they  were bought of by Disney  and even had their own  area  at I think Disney World  or  Land  not too sure  on that just  a fart in the wind  left a  bad smell  and are now  gone off tv tho you  a new toy line up . I a word Disney will not nor can not keep their hand  off it  just look at spider-man  movie  were they want  hanna montaina  as Mary  Jane  hmmm. Why M.O.U.S.E

This is a little bit worrisome. I completely understand Disney's motivations. They dropped one massive amount of money for rights to a lot of properties. Due to preexisting deals they might not see any profits from some of Marvel's biggest titles. Seems counter productive to what they spent.
 
This could cause some problems though. Production of some movies could wind up in limbo due to challenges to the rights. I doubt Paramount would want to pay for the creation of a movies that only ends up being distributed by Disney in the end. They might not want to invest in many movies out of fear the rights could be taken away, or legal battles could make some movies seem like they aren't worth fighting over.
 
Some movies could be either pushed back, shelved, or canceled altogether until the rights are settled.

aww, I like Twentieth Century Fox.

if i...i mean a friend of mine thinks that Black Widow Minnie is hot,
should i, i mean they seek professional help?

"
I say Disney should just pay Paramount the money and get it over with... 
I mean as long as the movie is just as good as the Incredible Hulk and Iron Man movies then I don't care the Disney castle appears on the bottom of the promotional poster and on the DVD/BD box.... 
 
Although it is too late for Iron Man 2 to get the Disney logo on it!  "
