Not to mention that it is impossible for Marvel to withdraw from Disney. Even if it is to withdraw, the funds that Disney has invested directly and indirectly in Marvel over the past 11 years are a very terrifying astronomical figure.
Before 2008, from the author’s point of view, there were not many fans and friends who knew that Marvel was a company, because before the launch of "Iron Man", Marvel was generally active in the American comics world, and it was on the big screen. Wei has almost no big sense of presence. Even if his "pro-son" Spider-Man made a lot of money in Sony Pictures at the time, many people probably didn't care about the origin of the role of Spider-Man in a company called Marvel.
Of course, a large part of this is actually due to the fact that Marvel’s management was really choking. Basically, the copyrights of the top popular heroes were sold out. The reason for shooting "Iron Man" was also helpless, because I really can't find a reliable comeback role in my hand.
But what I didn’t expect was that an "Iron Man" + Robert Downey Jr. directly let Marvel take a sigh of relief from the crisis of bankruptcy, and it is precisely because of the success of "Iron Man" that Marvel entered the eyes of Disney and was later acquired by Disney.
Of course, the above is the normal logic of many friends. But in fact, in Disney’s development plan, the "acquisition of Marvel" plan was not after the success of "Iron Man". In fact, the acquisition plan appeared on Disney’s internal conference table a long time ago. It became an instant hit on the Marvel movie.
4.24 billion US dollars, just the beginning! In 2009, only one year after the success of "Iron Man", Disney acquired Marvel (in fact, it should be called Marvel Entertainment at the time). Note that this needs to be pointed out that Disney was a "wholly-owned" acquisition of Marvel at the time entertaining.
This means that at that time, Marvel did not have the right to speak of major shareholders and minority shareholders in front of Disney. After Disney’s acquisition, the entire Marvel Entertainment included "comic", "animation", and "TV". Both up and down belong to Disney. Let alone the copyright issue of what role.
Therefore, as the subject said, it was impossible for Marvel to quit Disney from the beginning, because it is impossible for Disney to split up on its own. Marvel has been deeply involved since the day when it was wholly acquired. Deeply imprinted with the mark of Disney.
However, if we follow the meaning of the subject and derive it, suppose that if Marvel exits Disney, the purchase price of 4.24 billion US dollars that year will definitely not be sent back at the original price. Let’s not talk about the current price. Marvel’s valuation of Marvel, just because of the fluctuation of the dollar before and after, does not mean that it can be solved by doubling and doubling.
Moreover, this is not counting the funds Disney has invested in Marvel in recent years! For example: the return of the X-Men copyright.
You must know that the biggest purpose of Disney's acquisition of Fox Films at that time was actually to let the X-Men wait for the copyright of Marvel heroes to return to Marvel. At the time, Disney spent $71.3 billion on this.
Obviously, this is an astronomical figure. At the same time, what we need to pay attention to is that the return of the hero's copyright brings the problem of the division of the two parts of Marvel-namely, Marvel Entertainment and Marvel Movie. industry.
Originally, there were some contradictions between Marvel movies and Marvel TV and comics. For this reason, Disney directly separated the movies from Marvel Entertainment and established a company independently, which is the Marvel Pictures we are now familiar with. For many drama fans, the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." series belongs to Marvel Entertainment.
Based on this, the problem is coming. In addition to their main film and television works, Marvel Entertainment and Marvel Pictures themselves, the profits generated by the peripherals and derivatives of various character products are actually an incalculable figure.
You must know that since Disney's wholly-owned acquisition of Marvel, it has been an independent Marvel movie. In recent years, relying on the appeal of movie box office and global IP surroundings, Disney has brought at least US$20 billion in profits.
This does not include the profits brought by comics, television and other works and peripheral derivatives. This number alone, in fact, if counted, not to mention the acquisition of another Fox Film Company, at least 3/4There should be no problems with Fox movies.
and the author listed above are fairly obvious Disney's capital investment and potential product profit added value to Marvel, which is a figure starting with 100 billion US dollars.
even, let alone this number, if Disney is willing to sell Marvel, this $100 billion is still a loss-making business for Disney! As for the company that took over, it is estimated that it has only used such a large sum of astronomical figures to acquire Marvel, and it has to bear the awkward situation of Marvel's subsequent "grafting". Few company consortia can eat this feast at ease.
So-if you want to buy, Disney has to be willing to sell it, because now Marvel is from top to bottom, from inside to outside; Disney wants to sell, it is estimated that the world will start at hundreds of billions of dollars. Few companies can gnaw off the acquisitions of China, and even if they do, they have to lose a piece of meat.
Of course, more importantly, it is now impossible for Marvel to give up Disney, a rich man, and switch to another brand new owner, because it is not worthwhile.
