Spider-Man May Return To Marvel Due To Apple Potentially Buying Sony

Spider-Man fans have been slung all over the place as negotions to keep the web-slinger in the MCU heated up and then broke down. Now, as Apple is considering buying Sony Pictures, Disney is waiting in anticipation as the they could end up regaining the rights to Spider-Man for free.

If and when Sony winds up in a merger with a company like Netflix, Amazon, or Apple, the Spider-Man IP will revert back to Marvel — and it’s unlikely anyone currently involved with the IP at Sony will get a dime when that happens, according to Forbes.

According to a report by Cosmic Book News, an investor analyst just recently claimed that Apple may be out for a major acquisition, and Sony has been listed as a potential candidate along with studios like A24, Lionsgate, Viacom/CBS, MGM, and Netflix.

In early September, Sony CEO Tony Vinciquerra firmly stated that Sony Studios is “not for sale,” despite regular press coverage to the contrary, but things can change and money talks.

The Sony boss also discussed the studio’s decision to stay out of the streaming wars thus far in terms of the general market, a decision which he said allows Sony to be “more transparent” with its creators by not becoming “beholden to any platform.”

Amazon is also said to be considering purchasing Sony Pictures as well. The reason why both companies are suddenly interested is because they both have, or are working on, streaming sites, but neither has their own theatrical production or distribution model.

Disney Bedtime Hotline Returns for a Limited Time

Oh boy! Do you want to help you add a touch of Disney magic to your kid’s bedtime routine? Disney has announced the return of the Disney Bedtime Hotline, where fans can call to hear special messages from their favorite characters at bedtime.

From now until Sept. 30, your child can call up the “Disney Bedtime Hotline” and hear a special goodnight message from seven beloved Disney characters: Mickey Mouse, Woody, Jasmine, Anna and Elsa, Yoda and Spider-man.

The number is toll-free (1-877-7-MICKEY) and is only available inside the United States. Just punch in the appropriate number to hear a bedtime message from your favorite Disney character: 1 = Mickey; 2 = Woody ; 3 = Princess Jasmine; 4 = Princess Anna and Queen Elsa; 5 = Yoda and 6 = Spider-Man

In 2018, the Sleep Shop Hotline contained five special messages from Mickey Mouse and friends Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck.

This year marks the second year in a row that Disney is launching this hotline, all in hopes to help parents put their children to bed. Most parents say putting their kids to bed can be stressful, with 77 percent saying they are exhausted with the process, according to a study highlighted in a Disney press release.

The company hopes these character messages will “give kids something to look forward to at bedtime,” the release says.

New “Beauty and the Beast”-Inspired Lounge Coming to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Tie your napkin around your neck, because Disney is bringing a new “Beauty and the Beast”-inspired lounge to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa this fall as we have previously reported and now we have a name.

Located on the second floor of the lobby, this re-imagined lounge will be called Enchanted Rose and will celebrate the magic and romance of Disney’s popular live-action movie.

Formerly Mizner’s Lounge and Commander Porter’s, the new lounge will feature four unique spaces inspired by Belle and the Beast. The signature bar will glow from the light of a magnificent gold chandelier that takes its inspiration from Belle’s flowing ball gown, with subtle nods to the Beast’s magical rose. The formal library showcases classical baroque designs and French furnishings inspired by Belle, with hints of the Beast’s friends. The garden room will be a whimsical space that draws its inspiration from the enchanted forest surrounding Beast’s castle. And an outdoor patio will evoke the romance of Beast’s garden terrace.

It’s the latest new Disney magic coming to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. In February, we announced a new Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique location will open this summer at the beloved and picturesque resort hotel located on the banks of the Seven Seas Lagoon.

With charm and elegance to be found around every turn, this quaint bar and lounge will be the place where you can put our service to the test and share a tale as old as time.
