According to a post on the Disney-centric Jim Hill Media blog, word around the “House of the Mouse” is that, after a disappointing summer at the box office  led by “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” which earned just $141 million after costing $200 million to produce  the studio will follow Warner’s and Marvel’s lead and look to “get into the comic book movie game,” as Hill puts it.

However, Hill make the obvious point that, the problem with getting into the game this late means any and all of the most recognizable characters and franchises have already been snapped up by other studios and production companies.

On the other hand, this could be one of the main reasons why Disney recently partnered with comic living legend Stan Lee to bring new superheroes and concepts to Disney (such as the “Time Jumper” franchise). Likewise, this could also mean that their recently announced graphic novel division, Kingdom Comics, could become all the more vital to Disney’s movie plans moving forward.
