Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We knew that Disney bought Marvel, but it's a little surprising to see that they've so quickly absorbed the Marvel films. Paramount is losing Iron Man and The Avengers to The Mouse House... well, not really losing... they're being given a nice chunk of change ($115 million to be exact) for it, but it's still gotta be a blow to the Paramount people. Paramount is still distributing Thor and Captain America. Disney not only announced the deal today, but also that they've set a date for Iron Man 3 (notice the lack of "D" on the end, thank God). The film will be released May 3rd, 2013. No word on Jon Favreau's involvement, but that's gotta be a given, right? I wouldn't expect to see much change. Marvel Entertainment has been in charge of all the Paramount released Marvel titles and I'm sure they'll be in charge of the Disney ones, too. So, an official Iron Man 3 date and a change of studio. Pretty busy day for comic movie fans! Thoughts? -Quint quint@aintitcool.com Follow Me On Twitter
