A big complaint amongst the Marvel fans is that Disney skipped out on Black Widow merchandise for The Avengers 2.
Disney and Hasbro even went so far as changing a scene from the movie to remove Black Widow in the toy.
Mark Ruffalo and George Takei even had complaints.
The good news is that same can’t be said for Wonder Woman and Batman Vs. Superman.
This week sees the Licensing Expo out of Las Vegas in which various studios and merchandisers exhibit their plans for the related movies.
WB already announced their slate of products, which also included a Jakks Pacific Batman Vs. Superman announcement today.
Now in a report over at LicenseMag.com, it’s noted Wonder Woman will be featured promintently in Batman Vs. Superman merchandising.
“Our comprehensive program will include Wonder Woman in the merchandise lines and in standalone products supporting the film. We have always had a robust line for Wonder Woman, and her role in this film and future films offers us more opportunities to feature her character and empowering attributes in many creative ways.”
“This is the first time ever that fans will see Batman and Superman together in a theatrical event. And let’s not forget the two new Batsuits, a new Batmobile, the Batwing, a new logo and Wonder Woman that all create really merchandisable elements for our partner. We have had phenomenal success with each character in their own world, but now we are able to supercharge the opportunity based on the most universally recognized Super Heroes.”
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.
