First Kermit the Frog, then Iron Man, then Darth Vader, and now Indy.
After first acquiring The Muppets, then Marvel Comics and most recently, Lucasfilm, Disney has been handed the rights of the Indiana Jones franchise from Paramount Pictures, according to Variety.
Which basically means, if you’re keeping score, Disney now owns every part of your childhood.
Paramount will still be in charge of the distribution for the first four “Indiana Jones” films, but now, Disney “gains distribution and marketing rights to future films, in addition to retaining the ownership rights it secured when it acquired Lucasfilm.”
Paramount will also receive financial participation regarding any future “Indiana Jones” films.
