[edit] Marvel Productions and Marvel Studios

Marvel Studios did not arise from the ashes of Marvel Productions Ltd. in fact Marvel Productions Ltd. was defunct for about a decade when Marvel Studios was formed. Therefore the two articles should remain separate. Whoever was responsible for the merger of the two article was wrong for doing so. Misterrick, 17:40 12 December 2004 (UTC)

I'd go further and say that Marvel Productions Ltd. should be covered under DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, since MP during the 1980s practically was DFE, just under a different name. What do you think? -lee 15:36, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Again I have to emphasis that Marvel Productions and Marvel Studio are two totally unrelated companies even though they share the same parent. Again Marvel Productions Ltd. was defunct for a decade when Marvel Studios was formed. It wasn't until Ronald Perlman took over Marvel when Marvel Studios was formed so prior to that and following the closure of Marvel Productions there was no production studio. I have re-edited the Marvel Studios article and recreated the Marvel Productions article. Misterrick 11:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

true... instead exists a relationship with Marvel Films Animation and Marvel Production.. Marvel Films (1994-1997) basically was a mix between New World's animation division (based on ex-Marvel Production) and new people..--88.149.169.237 01:58, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] the animated movies

the start of the ultimate avengers 2 movie says: "A MARVEL STUDIOS PRODUCTION"

so given that, why is that movie not listed in the marvel studios article??????????? !!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.11.51.76 (talk) 07:14, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rights to Spider-man, X-men, Fantastic Four

Does anybody if / when Marvel Studios will get back the rights to those franchises? Maxtro (talk) 17:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I guess not while the franchises are active (or until they fail..), but that is a good question. Are the film rights based on a time scale - so after a certain year do Sony and Fox lose the rights to make new films with the characters? Or would the rights have to be bought back by Marvel themselves?

The interesting thing is that although the Marvel Studios films are distributed by Paramount - except for The Hulk, which the rights went to Universal. So would Marvel have to work with Universal for any film appearances of the Hulk and it's characters? SWatsi (talk) 21:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Black Panther

Just a question to people to clear things up. The 'distributor' for 'The Black Panther' movie has recently been changed, (somewhat randomly) to 20th Century Fox. Has this been announced or anything because I have seen no sources for this, and presumed it was part of the Paramount deal. I was going to change back, but wanted to see if I'd missed something first. Cheers. SWatsi (talk) 00:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
