Marvel coming to Disney Parks?

Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger told shareholders attending an annual meeting that the company has had a number of discussions and done preliminary design work that it hopes will one day lead to Marvel characters appearing, as Disney's other familiar faces do, in the theme parks.

"We haven't announced anything yet," Iger said Tuesday, in response to a question posed by a shareholder at the company's annual meeting in Kansas City, Mo. "But we're working on some concepts."

This comes days after Universal Studios Orlando showed they have no intention of giving up its Marvel characters when they reopened a refurbished Amazing Adventures of Spiderman attraction, a ride they refurbished "because they could." Sounds like an attempt to keep the characters away from Disney Parks.

Hopefully Disney can find a way to cash in on their investment in Marvel for the Parks.
