Character Rights Table
Hi, I was thinking about adding a table in character rights section to make it more expressive and easy to track how rights reverted back to marvel. Let me know if its fine with you all. I can then copy it to main article. Thanks --Shoxee1214 (talk) 15:05, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Marvel Music Tag
Cut a lot of excess details that weren't supported by primary sources. Changed language to reflect the one sentence that still is. There isn't a ton of info on this out there. Edits should be sufficient to remove the tag, but let me know if anyone objects. Balle010 (talk) 23:41, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
Marvel Entertainment doesn’t own this?
Marvel Entertainment doesn’t own its own studio? HappyINC (💬) 03:18, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Correct. Vanity Fair ran a story at the time to try to give fans the full context of what was going on. --Coolcaesar (talk) 09:35, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
Marvel Knights
This article falsely states That Spirit of Vengeance is the second movie on the Marvel Knights banner. This is incorrect, It’s predecessor Ghost Rider was under the banner as well according to the opening. Arrowversefanatic2002 (talk) 21:00, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
Spider-Man Live Action TV Rights
According to [17] and [18] as well as the 2011 leaked contract Sony owns the Live Action TV rights to Spider-Man. The leaked contract shows some of those rights are frozen, but Sony is the owner of those rights.
That contradicts this sentence:
"In 2009, Marvel attempted to hire a team of writers to help come up with creative ways to launch its lesser-known properties, such as Black Panther, Cable, Iron Fist, Nighthawk, and Vision.[55] In early 2009, Sony returned all Spider-Man television rights (including live-action) in exchange for an adjustment to the movie rights.[56]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.219.173.11 (talk) 09:03, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

...despite obtaining the cinematic rights to make Hulk movies, Marvel did not obtain distribution rights. Universal held those rights... the exact situation is that Universal currently retains the right of first refusal to distribute any Hulk films in the future. If for some reason Universal chose to forgo distribution, then Disney would immediately pick up the distribution rights for the Hulk movie.

1st movie with the recent marvel intro
The Punisher (2004) 2A02:C7E:1187:A300:1129:3FC0:2CFF:A6F6 (talk) 23:28, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Toy Biz as a Founder?
Since when can a company "found" another company? And it was really David Maisel who got what we now call Marvel Studios off the ground; Avi struck deals with other studios to make Marvel movies. He did create a lot of company creative culture that carried on after he left, but what we now think of as Marvel Studio is David's, not Avi's. Speaking of culture, that's where Toy Biz does come into play and what the reason was/is for the studio. Toy Biz was cheap. Like, super-duper really cheap. Avi didn't think a movie studio could be run like that. He was used to Sony and Fox with the big offices and fancy cars and all the rest. That isn't Ike Perlmutter's style. He'd buy broke and bankrupt businesses and fix them. It's also why Marvel movies feature (well, featured - past tense) either unknown actors or well-known actors who took a huge pay cut for one reason (like past drug problems making them a sky-high risk) or another (like returning to work after a long leave raising children). That idea did carry over from Perlmutter's Toy Biz. I'm not going to start a Wiki war but other parts of the business part of this article have accuracy issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olenick (talk • contribs) 07:13, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
