Disney is on track to dominate Hollywood with Pixar animated versions of ‘Star Wars' and Marvel characters.
According to reports, Walt Disney Chairman Bob Iger is planning on making Disney stockholders a ton of money. Variety reports that Disney executives are planning to to use their newly purchased animation company, ‘Pixar' and create several Marvel and Star Wars movies.
The Burbank studio's upcoming 2015 movie lineup features a new “Star Wars” picture from Lucasfilm; two offerings from Marvel, a sequel to “The Avengers” and an “Ant-Man” entry; a pair of films from Pixar, “Inside Out” and “The Good Dinosaur”; plus Brad Bird's “Tomorrowland,” with George Clooney, from Disney's own movie unit.
Disney is on track to wipe out the competition with these feature films. For example, ‘Furious 7' is the first movie for Universal Studios to reach $1 billion dollars in the past 20 years. The last movie to reach $1 billion dollars was ‘Jurassic Park'.
Expect to see a ton of Jedis, superheroes, and perhaps a Toy Story/Star Wars crossover movie in the future.
