Absolutely. It makes me reflect on the Kirby case, especially when the estate’s lawyer said “The case deals with a substantial amount of the key character franchises for which Disney paid Marvel $4.2 billion and which may now be worth twice that amount. This is like the mother of all copyright cases because of its implications."
Those implications turned out to be even greater than that just five years later. I do hope the undisclosed settlement was based off of future earnings. Plus the movie takings are not the whole story considering licences and brand value.
