History

Historical Context

Disney’s 2009 $4 billion purchase of Marvel and its 2012 $4.05 billion acquisition of Lucasfilm gave the company a slate of blockbuster franchises. By creating the D23 fan club that year, Disney built a platform to showcase new releases. The 2024 D23 reveal of Avengers: Doomsday, Frozen 3, Hexed, and Star Wars: Starfighter continues that strategy of leveraging acquired IP for sequential high-budget films.
