This article is about how Stan Lee Media, Inc. is asking Disney to give them the $5.5 billion that they made with the superhero movies and merchandise. Some of the superheroes include Iron Man, Spiderman, and some of the Avengers. "“Defendant The Walt Disney Company has represented to the public that it, in fact, owns the copyright to these characters as well as to hundreds of other characters created by Stan Lee...""
What caught my eye about this article is that I watch Disney movies and superhero movies. I think it is interesting to not just watch the movies but also know a bit more of information. As a student this does not really impact me. As a future filmmaker this impacts me because I need to see how there are opportunities you can take. For example maybe if another company is not doing as good and another popular company buys them they can have a better outcome together. As a consumer I wonder if this is going to change Disney and superhero stuff.
