    Jack Kirby estate attorney Toberoff, known for his winning streak against big business entertainment companies, according to Deadline.com  "has sent notices terminating copyright to publishers Marvel and Disney, as well as film studios that have made movies and TV shows based on characters he created or co-created, including Sony, Universal, 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures. Normally these kinds of lawsuits are run of the mill for Hollywood. But not when they're litigated by Toberoff, who is the bane of Big Media studios because he has a winning track record.
     
    Is this going to cause a stop to the production of Avengers movie as this concerns the franchises of "Captain America, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, The Avengers, Iron Man, Hulk, The Silver Surfer and Thor"?
