With the success of the Iron Man franchise, Marvel and Disney are looking to expand to bigger audiences.
And where else would you get a bigger audience than in the country with the world’s biggest population?
Yes, as the title of this article suggests, Marvel and Walt Disney China have brought in DMG Entertainment, a Chinese film group, to co-produce and distribute Iron Man 3 in China. Robert Steffens, the General Manager of Operations and Finance for Marvel Studios made some interesting remarks about bringing Iron Man to China.
“We look forward to working alongside DMG to bring Iron Man to the Chinese marketplace in a significant way. We are confident that Marvel’s stories will continue to be enjoyed by Chinese audiences, and adding a local flavor, and working with our new local partner, will enhance the appeal and relevance of our characters in China’s fast-growing film marketplace.”
Let’s pause for a moment. “Adding a local flavor” into Marvel movies? Here’s where I’m dubious. Part of the reason why superhero movies are blockbuster hits in the United States is because of the history they have in the United States. The Chinese market, largely a homogenous group of well… Chinese people, have no connection to American superheroes in anyway. I’m not saying that you can’t enjoy a superhero movie if you’re unfamiliar with Tony Stark’s history, but I think Marvel and Disney will have to be relying on the sheer size of the Chinese market for superhero movies to sell.
Nevertheless, it’d be interesting to see how well Iron Man 3 does in China…. with the added “local flavor.”

Ok I was in Florida for a trip to Walt Disney World. My household went in this one location that had a entire bunch of soda from about the world. so i began to check out them and i tried using this a single soda from china and it tasted like watermelon and sprite blended can you notify me what the soda’s called?
OK, so I may well be going to Walt disney globe this April and I want some advice. I’m 12 and a half and im likely with 2-4 adults and a 19 month outdated baby (she’s my cousin). We are likely to 2 concept parks out of the 4. The grownups are letting me determine which concept parks we’re likely to given that 2 of them have been to nearly all of them. I genuinely want to go to Magic kingdom considering that it really is genuinely disney and i assume my cousin would take pleasure in most of it (the individuals who gown up as disney characters may well scare her, but in standard she just isn’t scared of anything). But I Am tied in between Epcot and hollywood studios. I actually want to go on the twilight zone tower of terror but i also want to see people little international locations (china especially). So which one particular must we go to: Epcot or hollywood studios?
i am pondering exactly where i can acquire dvds of beauty and the beast, sleeping beauty, snow white and so on for inexpensive in china, thailand etc
With hollywood manufacturing organizations teaming up with bollywood film-makers, will bollywood sooner or later obtain a lot more international recognition? “Saawariya” was co-produced by Sony Pictures(Columbia)…Yash Raj Films are teaming up with Walt Disney for “Roadside Romeo” and Warner Bros. is producing an Indian movie with Akshay Kumar called “Chandni Chown to China”…Is this a constructive thing for the Indian film Industry?
OK, so I may possibly be heading to Walt disney world this April and I want some advice. I Am 12 and a half and im going with 2-4 grown ups and a 19 month previous baby (she’s my cousin). We are heading to 2 concept parks out of the 4. The grownups are allowing me make a decision which concept parks we’re heading to because 2 of them have been to virtually all of them. I genuinely want to go to Magic kingdom given that it can be truly disney and i assume my cousin would get pleasure from most of it (the folks who dress up as disney characters might scare her, but in common she is not afraid of anything). But I’m tied between Epcot and hollywood studios. I truly want to go on the twilight zone tower of terror but i also want to see those minor nations (china especially). So which one really should we go to: Epcot or hollywood studios?
So when my family and I went to Walt Disney World Epcot we had pistachio gelato in Italy portion. If you have been to Walt Disney Globe you know that there is China, Japanese, German, British and a lot of other spots at Epcot. I dwell in CO and havven’t discovered a decent area for pistachio gelato so does any person have an authentic recipe I would significantly appreciate. Ice cream just isn’t the same.

I have always been a fan of Marvel comics and always preferred their stories over DC comics. I have recently read the House of M storyline and was wondering what other complete story lines you would recommend to read?
Thank you.
I need a shoe pun about the comic Avengers, or just comics.
It can be about types of shoes, walking or anything, just shoe related.
Any ideas?
Cake balls, cakepops, cake bites — whatever you call them. I want to make some cute Avengers cake pops for an Avengers party! I found a few cake pop recipes, and I’ve seen Avengers cupcakes an Avengers cakes. I haven’t found Avengers cake pops yet. Can anyone point me to some Avengers cake pops?
Wasn’t Thor enough to fight him? Did he need the help of Tony, Hulk, Black Widow and the other superheroes just to beat his cousin or brother or whatever he is?
Will Anthony Hopkins appear in the Avengers?
Hi guys,
Im a big Marvel fan ( though I like DC universe better). The hulk , being true to his nature, smashed the black widow. How did he, by the end of the Avengers movie start taking orders from Captain America.
In the movie The Avengers, Iron Man went to Germany to help Captain America capture Loke. When he arrived, he hacked the plane that the Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) was in and it played rock music really loud for people all around to hear. He then said, “did you miss me.”
What was the song that iron man made the plane play?
I always wonder why hasn’t Thor ever tried to become leader of the AVENGERS. He’s like more powerful than both Captain America and Ironman, he’s also had experience in leading troops in Asgard.
Why doesn’t he take up the mantle of leadership in the AVENGERS, he is the most powerful of the original AVENGERS?
I want to watch all the Marvel super hero movies before seeing Avengers next year, what movies should I watch? And if someone could tell me how each movie is related to each other if they even are, like captain america asked tony stark to make his shield. Thanks!
Im looking forward to the new Movie The Avengers and its characters,but have seen several references and comments in forums to the justice league are they connected or are they rivals etc,as you can tell i dont follow comics as such but would love to get some knowledge before watching the film.
I like it. Avengers assemble. But why? And its also showing in April. Its coming out may 4th here.
So far all of the other movies were OK but Not worth buying a 2nd ticket .
Avengers 3D was a 3 ticket movie
Any more double or triple ticket offerings in the summer line up ?
I heard Promethius was a prelude to Alien and That was a 1 ticket movie I would have appreciated a refund on .
MIB 3 was sweet but a 1 ticket movie for me , probably see it again on DVD later tho .
I know the Avengers consist of Hawkeye, the Black Widow, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Incredible Hulk, led by Nick Fury. Which villain gave them the most trouble?
I’m only in my second year of Spanish so I know that much of it will be wrong. Five stars to the best proof… and the eternal gratitude of a tired student. I know it is nothing like the Spanish you will find in regular conversation, but it’s a start. Thank you!
La película “Mulan” fue publicada en Junio de 1998. Fue distribuió por Walt Disney Pictures y conta el cuento de una niña de China antigua en la Dinastìa Sui. En la pelìcula, el padre de Mulan iba mandado entrar en guerra. Él es viejo y tiene una espalda tullido. Ocupa Mulan el puesto de su padre salvarle la vida a él. Se viste ella en ropas de hombres en la medianoche y saca el caballo de su familia. Se llama “Ping” ahora. Se encontra Mulan muchos personas en el ejército y intenta ella actuar como un hombre. Tiene ella ayuda de un dragon pequeño se llama Mushu y un grillo afortunado. Si descubre el capitán que esta ella una niña y no esta un niño, puede matar ella.
Como todos de las películas de Walt Disney Pictures, “Mulan” tiene un final feliz. Pero en la historia original, un final no esta tan feliz como la película. En el canción original, Mulan se convierte en un capitán. Va ella a su casa despues de la guerra vestido como una niña y while esta llevando ropa de mujer. El emperador se enamora de Mulan y pregunta si está la concubine de él. Cuanda advanza él, mata Mulan salvar su integridad moral. El emperador esta triste y da Mulan el título de “Xiaolie.”
“Mulan” es uno de mis películas favoritas porque la heroína es fuerte y supera el miedo salvar su padre y país. El desarrollo personaje de la película es excelente y la aventura de la historia es sensacionalista. Creo que los cambios que Walt Disney Pictures hació a la historia original son bueno porque ahora la película es major por la familia ver. Mi parte favorite es cuando Mushu esta enseñando Mulan como se un hombre en la acampada. Yo recomendo mucho esta película por niños de todas las edades porque éste es la divertido y emocionante satisfacer todas las audiencias. No es muy violento o aburrido. Los personajes son fantastico… ¡necesitas ver ésta película!
I have two accounts for Marvel Avengers on Facebook. I’m level 102 in one, and 52 in the other. I just obtained Spiderman for both, but yet they are vastly different, both in stats and damage that they do. Why is that?
