Marvel could afford an ambitious film slate before they had the financial might of Disney behind them. Why do we suddenly think they won't be able to afford it now that they do?
OK well let's look at that. of the non-Sony/Fox/Lionsgate movies, they did Hulk and Iron Man in 2008. So that was two movies last year.
This year there was only Wolverine from Fox.
Next year is only Iron Man 2 as Thor got delayed again. So tentatively, Thor and Cap are being positioned for 2011 with Avengers in 2012. That could all still change.
Keyser Soze, the question is, why they haven't been able to line up an ambitious film slate again without Disney? And why they want or need the backing of Disney in the first place?
Keyser Soze, its also the worry, that if Marvel in fact does NOT have the finances to fully fund Thor, Cap, and Avengers themselves in the coming years . . . will Disney really be willing to foot the bill?
