When it was announced that Disney were buying Marvel, many thought this might mean we'd see some sort of collaboration between the studio behind the likes of
Toy Story 3 and
Up and the comic book company. Well, apparently not! Here is an excerpt from the report over at
IGN Movies.
There's always fanboy chatter about how they'd love to see Pixar take on a Marvel project. Have there been any real talks of doing that? There's been a lot of rumors.
No, Pixar, we are -- Disney has been great. Bob Iger is phenomenal. I'm Chief Creative Officer of Disney Animation as well, and with Pixar it's like, "Keep doing what you're doing, guys." It's a filmmaker-driven studio. All of the ideas come from the filmmakers themselves. Working with the filmmakers on ideas.
So there probably wouldn't be any kind of chance of seeing that kind of team-up then?
No, not at Pixar. We have The Incredibles, so we've done superheroes here ourselves and so we have that kind of history with Brad Bird doing The Incredibles.
Well, that's something of a shame! While I'd rather see Marvel's characters get the live action treatment, seeing Pixar bring some of the iconic superheroes to life could have been amazing! Be sure to share your thoughts on this in the usual place!
