All animated films that have been released or announced have been produced by MLG Productions and have been released direct-to-video by Lions Gate Entertainment. Once the deals that Marvel has made with several studios expire, all future Marvel animated films will be released by Disney, as the Walt Disney Company has bought Marvel Entertainment at the end of 2009.
