No Marvel Movies In 2009?

Charlie Jane Anders — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 10:40:34 PST

But even that one movie isn't certain, execs told Wall Street analysts in a conference call on Marvel's fourth-quarter 2007 earnings. Also, Marvel warned that the horrendous shape of the U.S. economy could hurt its (currently healthy) finances in 2008, but execs couldn't point to any specific warning signs. If you see Spider-Man selling underoos off a sidewalk card table, you'll know why. [Transcript] More »
