Parent company has supreme confidence in the production company. 
Disney CEO Bob Iger Dismisses Comic Book Movie Competition: ‘We’re Marvel’
Disney CEO Bob Iger isn’t sweating the onslaught of movies featuring costumed superheroes even if it means there’s more competition than ever before for comic book movie fans.
For years, Marvel, which Disney bought for $4 billion in 2009, has been the dominant force in films about masked vigilantes. The race will get tighter next year, when DC Comics and its parent company Warner Bros. kick off an ambitious slate of roughly two movies a year featuring the likes of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
Iger thinks that the goodwill Marvel has generated from hits like “The Avengers,” “Iron Man” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” will allow it to continue to thrive in a space that’s getting a lot tighter.
“We’re Marvel,” Iger told journalists at the Allen & Co. media conference in Sun Valley, Idaho. “We’ve done a great job of building the Marvel brand, which we think when it’s on a movie really makes a difference. We’re seeing signs of that.”
He also expressed confidence in upcoming Marvel films such as “Ant-Man” and “Doctor Strange.”
“We like the Marvel slate that we have coming up,” said Iger. “We think they’re unique in many ways and have no concerns [about competition] whatsoever.”
Iger was mum about plans for another key entertainment franchise that Disney holds in its intellectual property stockpile — “Star Wars.” He declined to comment about the possibility that Disney’s parks operations would unveil a “Star Wars Land,” similar to its planned “Avatar”-themed resort, beyond saying, “We’re going to increase the presence of ‘Star Wars’ in our parks.”
He was also mum about J.J. Abrams’ upcoming seventh “Star Wars” film, “The Force Awakens,” only offering up that “excitement remains the same” and the film will have a presence at Comic-Con.
Looking ahead, Iger said that he planned to unveil new details about Shanghai Disney, the company’s first park in Mainland China, in the coming weeks.
“We’re building something that’s every bit Disney and distinctly Chinese,” he said. “We’re definitely building Disney Land in China, but we’re obviously respectful of the Chinese culture.”
Disney has fielded a number of box office hits in recent months, including “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and Pixar’s “Inside Out,” the story of the emotional life of a pre-teen girl. Asked which of the warring emotions from “Inside Out” he most embodied, Iger said, “You don’t run these companies without having a little bit of everything, but I’ll tell you these days at Disney we have a lot of Joy.”

Bob Iger is right *in best Slick Rick voice* "There is no competition". No franchise, movie star, director can boast the streak Marvel can 12 No. 1 movies consecutively (also 12 Fresh tomatoes consecutively). I'm stanning the right team!
Marvel’s Run Crushes Hollywood’s Most Epic Winning Streaks

Reading breathless box-office coverage isn’t a great way to get a grip on the motion picture business, but last weekend, “Ant-Man” became the 12th consecutive Marvel Cinematic Universe movie to open at No. 1 domestically. That stat was thrown around a lot, and it made me wonder how difficult the feat was. (Note: Disney — which owns ESPN, which owns FiveThirtyEight — owns Marvel.)
It’s pretty tough! First of all, there are only four franchises tracked by Box Office Mojo with 12 or more feature-length films: Marvel,Star Trek, Friday the 13th, and the James Bond movies. The opening-weekend data I have only goes back to 1982 — thus we can’t evaluate the Bond streak before “Octop*ssy.” But of the 12 most recent films in the franchise, only seven opened at No. 1. And neither of the other two franchises managed to pull off a dozen consecutive No. 1 openings.
So I looked at the top 50 career grossing performers and directors to see if any of them could compete with Marvel.1 Surely there must be a Tom Cruise or James Cameron streak that can?
Actually, no! Among that group, the longest streak of consecutive movies with No. 1 opening weekends was eight, belonging to both Jim Carrey and Will Smith.
Smith’s streak runs from “Men in Black II” in 2002 through “Hancock” in 2008.2 Carrey’s streak was a productive patch from “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” in 1994 to “The Truman Show” in 1998.3
The runner-up is Eddie Murphy in the 1980s, during a furious period of production in which a string of seven of the actor’s films hit the top spot at the box office — from “Beverly Hills Cop” in 1984 through “Another 48 Hrs.” in 1990. Cruise had six consecutive films between 1992 and 1999 that won No. 1. Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Ian McKellen (with two separate streaks!) had winning streaks of five movies.
I figured the directors might have been better at hanging tough with Marvel, but it’s not even close. Cameron, Ron Howard and Robert Zemeckis tied for the longest streak of films with No. 1 debut weekends, with six each. For what it’s worth, Michael Bay could have had a streak of 10 winners if he hadn’t made “The Island,” but he’ll have to deal with two streaks of five winners instead.
Granted, looking beyond the top 50 grossing actors and directors could unearth people who can beat these records — a streak of eight winning movies for the actors and six for directors.
But my point is that it’s a pretty big win that Marvel is pitching a perfect game, and it’s much harder than I originally realized. Those top 50 grossing performers and directors aren’t schlubs; you’d be hard-pressed to think of actors and actresses who aren’t on that list and have the output, consistency and total gross to compete with Marvel.
There have been some pretty solid risks taken by Marvel, too — “Guardians of the Galaxy” was an unknown quantity, and “Ant-Man” sneaked past “Minions” with very little room for error.
Again, it’s possible the continuation of streaks like this may be self-fulfilling. For whatever reason, people care about these records and schedule film releases accordingly. Warner Bros. is coming out with the highly anticipated “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” in March, but the film was originally scheduled against “Captain America: Civil War” on May 6, 2016. The urge to win a release weekend cleanly may have been a motivation for that move and may signal that streaks like Marvel’s (essentially meaningless but nonetheless impressive) will become more common.

Cucubberbatch ain't the comedic type. It won't be dark but more along the lines of Cap 2.
