Marvel in 2009
2009 was the only year between Iron Man and the pandemic without a new MCU film, but it was the year Marvel's ownership changed for good. Disney announced on August 31 that it would buy Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion and closed the deal on December 31. One immediate result was the end of The Spectacular Spider-Man, the acclaimed cartoon whose rights got caught between Sony and the new Disney-owned Marvel.
The big release was Fox's X-Men Origins: Wolverine on May 1. A full workprint leaked online a month earlier, and Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson, with his mouth sewn shut and no suit, became a running joke the Deadpool films kept returning to. The movie still made about $373 million.
