"Marvel is revising its 2005 financial guidance to reflect the contribution of a landmark, long-term license agreement in the video game category which has largely offset some weaker than expected performance in our toy operation" says Marvel's Chairman, Morton Handel. "We believe repurchases will be accretive to earnings and will provide a very attractive long-term return on investment as we proceed beyond 2006. Those years will include the release of both the 'Spider-Man' and 'Fantastic Four' sequels in 2007 and the anticipated launch of Marvel's own film slate starting in 2008."
