I have very little evidence to back this up, but in a video by one of my most trusted Youtube personalities, it was said that because Disney took a Marvel property and is adapting it into a film (Big Hero Six) that Marvel Studios would do the same with a Disney property, and that it would most likely be Gargoyles.
For those of you who don't know, Gargoyles was an animated series made by Disney in the 90's to compete with Warner Brother's Batman the Animated Series. Like Batman TAS it had very high quality animation, voice acting, and stories (Co-created by Greg Weisman, the same man who brought us Spectacular Spider-Man and Young Justice) and was an over all very well made show. I haven't watched it in a long time but I do remember it from when I was a kid, and if ANYONE on this site appreciates animated series or animation in general it's me, so I would love for this to happen.
I do think this is possible, because the entire reason Disney purchased Marvel was to obtain "Boy brands" since they were already making more then enough money off of their princesses, and wanted to tap into the young boy/fan market. Since Gargoyles is a property aimed at boys, and is very superhero like, I could see Disney deciding to hand this off to the people who they know will do this type of property justice, and make money doing it.
Do I think it's likely? No, if it was going to happen we would have heard something on it by now, and the only info I can find on this are a 4 year old article, and another article put out on April fools day (aka Troll Christmas), which you can view here: http://screenrant.com/disney-gargoyles-movie-ross-68363/ http://www.craveonline.com/film/articles/668889-gargoyles-the-movie-is-coming-in-2017#/slide/1
In any case feel free to talk about how you feel about a live action Gargoyles movie, or just the idea of Disney giving Marvel properties to adapt.
